Doris Leighton, passing, stopped for a gay word with Patricia and Judith as they loitered in the hall. She made a laughing little gesture of envy when she heard their program for the day, which Patricia, eager to make amends for the unspoken slight upon her, poured out generously. Patricia smiled and opened her lips, but the words died away, as Bruce, now with a gayety that bespoke a different sort of announcement, mounted the model stand in the middle of the room, and rapped loudly for attention.

Jen was about to explain when he remembered the necessity of keeping silent concerning the visit of Isabella to the house. Judith tossed her head, with a little giggle at her own expense. "I am afraid you will have your trouble for nothing," rejoined Etwald, coolly. "Moreover, you can't arrest me without actual proof." "I do, however," muttered Jen, divining that Dido had taken the usual route back to "The Wigwam.".
