"Certainly not," interrupted Arkel, sharply. "I can prove nothing. I am quite puzzled." "I don't know. She is a strange girl, major, and the events of the last few weeks have shaken her nerves." Judith, who was studying under the lamp at the center table with her fingers screwed into her ears and her mouth twisted intently in pursuit of knowledge, came abruptly back to life. "And I stay in and slip the figures on the stands! How nice! It's awfully good of you." She broke off with a sudden clouding of her gayety. "But perhaps you don't really want them to see your figure? I couldn't have you——".
