Jen was about to explain when he remembered the necessity of keeping silent concerning the visit of Isabella to the house. The taxi stopped with a bump at the curb and Patricia sprang out, paid the man and joined Miss Jinny on the sidewalk before the door had opened to admit the little worn trunk that the driver shouldered with such ease.
