Fortunately he was not forced to sorrow alone; toward midday David arrived from town, filled with grief and surprise at the untimely end of Maurice. He found the major in the library, and grasped him by the hand with genuine sorrow. "Pooh, she didn't have to pay much," said Judith with the callousness of childhood. "She only gave back the prize and left the Academy." "Yes. He saw you place the body in your brougham, with the assistance of Dido.

Judith recovered sufficiently to take notice. "It is a fact," insisted Jen. "I have the evidence of Jaggard to prove that Dido was in the room on that night." "Hush," cautioned Patricia, using her eyes industriously. "It must be all right, or Bruce wouldn't have brought us. I like it. The floor is sanded, Judy!
