"It isn't anything to kill for, Miss Pat," she rippled. "It's merely the Academy ball that takes place next week——" "What is it?" asked Mrs. Dallas, her curiosity--like that of the major--getting the better of her rage. "Oh, as to that, I was once a bit of a chemist," explained Arkel; "and when you took me to see Jaggard I smelt a curious perfume which seemed to be hanging about him.

"This is the famous Hughes Junior," said David, introducing him to them collectively. "Collector of dead bugs, and trouble generally. He looks mild, but you want to watch him." The bed was empty--the corpse was gone. David and Maurice both being absent, the one in London, and the other at Deanminster, Major Jen was compelled to dine alone.
