Here Maurice set down his cup with a crash, and strode across the room, where he faced Etwald in no very pleasant frame of mind. "Do be still, Miss Pat," she said sedately. "We've waited two whole days already—five minutes more won't hurt us." This was easier said than done, as Mrs. Dallas would not allow Maurice to set foot in the house. Still Maurice hoped to learn the truth from the tramp himself, a hope that proved futile also, Battersea had gone on one of his begging excursions, and for quite a week was not seen in the neighborhood of "Ashantee."
