"What are you two mumbling about?" demanded David, shouldering his way through the assembly at the station door. "No fair talking secrets today. I've got to be in everything that's going on. 'Fess up now, Judy, you were complaining that Tommy's nose was too long for the hero of your next novel, weren't you?" "I daresay," replied Maurice, coolly. "The more so, as I believe he has stolen the devil-stick." Elinor blushed and shook her head. "Do not go, madam," said he, quietly. "I have something to show you.".
