"Yes, want me!" I answered with more spirit than breath left in me. "I refuse to believe you are as stupid as I am, and anybody with even an ordinary amount of brains must have seen how hard I was fighting for you. I feel sure I left no stone unturned. Some of them I can already think back and see myself tugging at, and it makes me hot all over. I'm foolish and always was, so I'm to be excused for acting that awful way, but you are to blame for letting me do it. I'm going to be your punishment for life for not having been stern and stopped me. You had better stop me, for if I go on loving you as I have been for the last few minutes it will make you uncomfortable." "'He or she,'" repeated Jen, slowly. "Dido I mentioned; but 'he!' who is 'he?'" "Afterward you stole the body of the man you murdered.

"Yes, I know," said Judith, expectantly, but Miss Jinny had whisked to her feet and whirled about towards the door. "Dr. Etwald! Do you think he has anything to do with it?" queried Jen, perplexed and a trifled startled. Miss Jinny nodded. "She'd work her to death, anyway," she agreed. "She's mighty inhuman under her soft outside. Her help don't hear much of her purry ways, I can tell you. That's why they're always leaving. No, Mrs. Hand won't do." She sighed in perplexity. "I wish we were well enough off to keep her ourselves. I've taken a liking to her quiet ways, and I'd enjoy having her about, I'm sure. Most country girls are so loud and clumping that I've never wanted help before, but she's mighty different." "Yes; and it was to force my mother into compliance with that desire that the whole of these crimes were committed. Dido--".
