It is plain the severe young woman in the sage-green gown has not even noticed the dangerous remark.

"I can't sing them all at once," she said, gayly. "But if you'll settle on one that I know, I'll do my best for you. You've given me an awfully good time tonight, and I'm only too glad to sing for you." "Obi say dat to me. Your mudder black." "Or to kill men with," rejoined Jen, ironically; "or to drug the watchers of the dead." "Major, major, I have heard all! I have been listening at the window.".
