"She has decided!" said Alymer, sharply. "She loves me." "Mean!" cried Jen, in a tone of conviction. "Why! that Etwald is mixed up in this business also!" This has been a happy night, in which I betrothed myself to Alfred, though he doesn't know it yet. I am going to take it as a sign that life for us is going to be brilliant and gay, and full of laughter and love..

So we got sticks and we rummaged. My gracious, but it was dusty!" "I don't go so far as that," protested Jen. "If we found the person who stole the devil-stick from my smoking-room I might guess the truth." Patricia gave her the brief outlines of her enrolment, and she nodded approvingly.
