"Obi!" was the brief reply. "You hab told ole Dido what she wish about de debble-stick." After a great deal of good-humored bickering and sifting of requests to suit Patricia's repertoire, the tumult gradually quieted and Patricia rose. "Isn't it jolly—to be here in a real Academy of Fine Arts, just like all the famous artists when they were young and unknown? Doesn't it make you feel all excited and quivery, Norn?" asked Patricia, as she fitted her key into the narrow gray locker with an air of huge enjoyment. "I don't see how you can look so cool.

"She is certainly beautiful," said he, indifferently, "but she is not clever, and her weak nature is enslaved by the gross superstitions of Dido." "Well, just as you please," he said, raising his eyebrows, "but you are as mysterious as David." The sound of running water outside their shelter gradually forced its way into the tumult.
