"By no means; and Dido manufactured the poison which was used." "I am sure of that," remarked Jen, taking the devil-stick off the table. "And you stole this, I'll be bound." "Well, we're turning another page of our lives," he said with a backward glance at the rooms where they had been so busy and so happy. "Who can say what will be written there?".
