"I think we might let her share with us this time," she said gently, and Judith's relief was beautiful to behold. Patricia was about to break into angry tears on Elinor's neck, but the brisk and significant air with which Griffin spoke roused her to herself again. She put Elinor's arms away, and going to the mirror, smoothed her tumbled hair, and whisked away the telltale traces of her collapse, while Elinor sat quietly on the edge of the couch watching her with fond anxiety. "I no hear him say anytink about Obi," she replied; "but de spell; it say you marry dat man and no de yaller-ha'r.".

Even at such a moment as that I felt how glad Madame Rene would have been to have given such a nice man as the doctor a treat like that blue silk chef-d'oeuvre of hers. I was glad myself.
