"Mother's handkerchief, Dido," explained Isabella, interrupting. "The one you bound round my head." "What you wish, sah?" she said, in a grave voice, as emotionless as that of Jen's. "H'm!" said Maurice. "It is devil-worship, pure and simple." Marriage is the only worm in the bud of Mrs. Johnson's life, and her laugh has a snap to it even if it is not very sugary sweet..
