"Are you certain that all these people will speak out?" asked the major of Arkel when the list was submitted to him. Patricia hesitated. "But perhaps you'd rather have an easier costume,—Aladdin's mother, or——" For the next two days Major Jen stayed in his house and watched over the corpse of David.
