"She used to be," was Judith's frank reply. "But since you've become an artist, like Aunt Louise, she fairly adores you!" Elinor glanced about at the circle of laughing, friendly faces and her eyes shone. What is a woman going to say when she has a tombstone thrown in her face like that? I didn't say anything, but what I thought about Aunt Adeline filled in a dreadful pause. "Not hard," Patricia reassured her gravely. "Just enough to turn you loose. 'Twas not so deep as a grave nor so wide as a church door, but it did answer. Go on, Elinor, love, it's getting late.".
