Much to Patricia's surprise, Miss Jinny seemed not at all unused to the reticent Judith's caresses, but stooped and kissed her on her white forehead, rumpling her pale hair with kindly fingers. "Where do you live?" was the next question, to which Elinor again replied good-naturedly. "Sure enough, Tommy. It's Hilton to the very life. Don't you see him, Pat, coming in with that head waiter?
