A single glance showed them what had occurred--the insensible Jaggard, the empty bed, the open window. A babel of voices ensued. "Yes, and I honor you for it," said Jen, kissing her hand. "But tell me one thing. Why did you make that midnight visit?" "Pooh, she didn't have to pay much," said Judith with the callousness of childhood. "She only gave back the prize and left the Academy."
