Then Dido, still singing, appeared at the window, and looked at Mrs. Dallas with an expression of triumph. "Yes, yes," whispered the girl, stepping into the room. "I got out of my bedroom window and escaped from my mother and Dido. I want to see Maurice." "What do you mean?" cried Jen, his curiosity getting the better of his anger.
