Elinor merely smiled her gentle, affectionate smile, but Patricia rippled out in mocking laughter. "How can you prove that I did so?" he demanded. The major guessed that she meant that African witchcraft would avert disaster from Etwald, and at once flung the word back in her face..

"Why, Molly, you know me better than that!" she exclaimed from behind a perfect rose cloud of blushes. Judith sat with one stocking in her hand, dreaming, and she awoke with a start. For the moment Major Jen did not ask any more questions, for the very simple reason that he did not exactly know what course to take. Undoubtedly the tramp was telling the truth. He had no reason to conceal it; for in his own mind Jen quite acquitted him of any complicity in the crime. That so feeble and elderly a creature, debauched by intemperance, weak from insufficient food, should attack a vigorous young athlete like Maurice, was out of the question, even though he had the advantage of possessing the devil-stick.
