Dido opened her clenched fist. The Voodoo stone lay in the palm of her hand. "Where are you going, Kendall?" asked Mr. Hilton as they pushed back their chairs, and stood waiting for the last button on Judith's glove to come to terms. "If you haven't settled on anything special, I'd like to have you all see the new play with me. It's said to be the finest thing in America, and I'm sure your sisters would enjoy it." But there was one visitor to The Wigwam whom Isabella would gladly have avoided--no less an individual than Dr. Etwald.
