"From whom?" "I think it's in the basement," said Elinor dubiously, "but I don't believe we can buy things there. We'd have to go out, anyway, I'm afraid."

H'm! it is strange; very strange. I wish Jaggard were able to talk sensibly." "Very good," said Jen to himself. "That matter is settled, and Etwald--confound him!--will obtain his desire.
