He started, rubbed his eyes, and looked drowsily at the tall negress, who had resumed her impassive attitude. "All the same," said Patricia, darkly, "she needs to drop a peg in her own esteem. Conceit is mighty crippling to the runner in the race that Ju's picked out for herself. I'd hate her to be a fizzle, and I'm going to see to it that she gets rid of it."
