Her father said to her that the Beast evidently wished her to keep them all for herself, and the trunk and the dresses immediately reappeared.

She broke off in amazement at the familiar grin of one of the most glittering queens. "Griffin, of all people!" she cried, delightedly, and held out an eager hand. "Do you know anything of Voodoo worship?" "What do you say? I thought you loved the girl?" "Then you know more than I do," replied David, with all the appearance of truth.
