Patricia broke in on her dismal forebodings with a rippling, silvery laugh. "Are you going to promulgate that doctrine at the Suffrage League?" he asked, beginning to turn the knob.

The recovered devil-stick, found in the grounds of Mrs. Dallas, the saturated handkerchief found in the bedroom of the dead man; and now the unaccountable hints of David that he knew something likely to throw a light upon these mysteries, joined with an equally unaccountable refusal to afford such revelation, all these things puzzled him; but as it was impossible in the absence of actual knowledge, to come to any reasonable decision, Jen determined to see Jaggard and see how he was.
