Judith swept her adoring gaze from the Victory to her sister's face. The result of this conversation was that David took up his residence in Deanminster near the jail, and saw Etwald frequently about his defense.

"And we are going?" she demanded breathlessly. "Oh, say that we are going, Elinor!" Elinor blushed and laughed. "I can't, usually," she said, gayly. "It is the Victory that did it. She must have handed down some of the thoughts of the old Greek that carved her out of the white marble under that blue, blue sky of ancient days." "No!" said Maurice, promptly, "But," she protested, raising herself on one elbow. "It wasn't true, what Mr. Benton said about your design. Why don't you tell him so, Elinor?".
