"I'm always making mountains out of mole-hills, and having you level them for me, Norn," she said, taking a glass of sherbet from the flower-wreathed tray of the charming slave. "I wish I wasn't such an alarmist. I felt as frantic as though Doris Leighton had drawn a dagger, and now I can see what a goose I am."

Suave and smiling, he pleaded not guilty to the indictment, and the trial commenced.

"It wasn't a bit like her teasing. Her's always has a good flavor.".
