Thoroughly annoyed, Carol threw his companion's mink coat over his arm, seized her bouquet of roses, and requested her, in Roumanian, to leave the wagon-lit by a door at the opposite end from that whence he descended.

A physician rapidly called for diagnosed the case as an elbow out of joint. Corson is in no danger of permanent injury but he will be unable to wrestle for the rest of the year.
