There was generous and general rejoicing at her account of the brief interview, and a strong feeling that under this happier augury Geraldine must recover.

CHAPTER XXIII. THE RESULT OF THE TRIAL. "I'm about ready, too," chimed in Miss Jinny. "I reckon they'll be quite astonished when they meet with their old friend Sinbad the Sailor.".

Patricia took the bit of canvas board, and held it at arm's length, squinting at it with eyes that gradually brightened. Patricia was introduced, and Margaret Howes, with promises to meet them later, went off finally, and Patricia and Elinor set to work to dispose of their neglected lunch, enjoying their own comments on the assembled groups more than they did the cakes and fruit. The first breath of spring was in the air, softening the chill of the crowded streets with warming sunshine and a hint of the coming miracle of the yearly resurrection. The shops were filled with the crisp, fresh-tinted goods of the nearing season, and here and there among the smartly dressed women was a modish straw hat brightening the winter furs and velvets.
