"Why don't you do something?" cried Patricia again. "Why don't you tell him? Griffin, it wasn't true—that she copied it! You know she'd not do a thing like that!" Bruce cocked his head mischievously at her. "Please don't say that, major," said Jaggard, imploringly, "as I did my best. It was not my fault that Dido drugged me.
