"Ouch!" she cried reproachfully. "That's not fair. You bit." "Tell us your guess, doctor; as it interests me so nearly, I have a right to know." "Lands to goodness, I believe I've seen her!" exclaimed Miss Jinny. "There was a Mary Miller, a little thing about five, used to play about the place when old Miss Spence lived there.

They had had no laughter then for Judith's prophecy of her literary career, and so now they had only instant sympathy with their little sister's enthusiasm.
