Elinor's eyes filled with a glad light, and she took Patricia in her arms. "It's perfectly glorious, Miss Pat, darling," she said with a rapturous squeeze. "I'm so delighted I can't help kissing you on the spot," and she did it with a heartiness that made Patricia wriggle. "One of her lies," said Isabella, vehemently. "I did not know she had gone to your house until the servant told me. Then when I remembered how the devil-stick had been stolen I was afraid lest Dido should be contriving further mischief. Although it was late I could not rest in my bed. I tossed and turned with my brain burning with the fever. I felt that I must learn what was taking place at your house.

"Well, Dido can do nothing," said Maurice, in a jesting tone, "unless you want her to forbid the banns." "Yes; but I did not know that until later on.

Then she led her indoors." "Hush, he's coming," warned Patricia, turning pale in spite of her brave words. "Listen, he has begun.".
