He finally secures a position in the Hotel Astoria. It's a brand new specialty. He is to act as guest no. 14 at all suppers where there are 13 in the party, to avoid the popular superstition. At first it looks a snap, but he happens in to a regular run of 13 parties and has to resort to strategy to prevent trouble with his digestion. At one of these parties he meets Hortense, a charming lady, and they become most agreeable friends. He falls heir to the English title, proposes and is accepted by Hortense. Several years later, their Anniversary dinner lacks the fourteenth guest, but Gregory solves the puzzle by bringing in his son and heir to fill the place.
