The words cut the air with an incisive clearness that left no shadow of a doubt, though Patricia could scarcely credit her own ears. Luncheon was particularly gay, much to Judith's delight.

Doris Leighton, the pretty girl whom Patricia had so ardently admired on her first day and who had not been visible since then, appeared without her pale companion, and took the table on the other side of them, and when Margaret Howes, at Patricia's entreaty, introduced them, she brought her chair over to their table and made one of their merry party.
