The venerable Senator might have been spared that ordeal. He might have returned to his constituents and sat with proper refreshment under the palm trees where the Atlantic laps on Florida's coral strand. His age, 74, entitled him to that surcease.

He had loosed his collar and the green striped tie was bound about his head giving him an air of Attic dignity enhanced by the sweet serenity of countenance that he so often achieved of an evening.
