It’s ’nough to make you dream of boer-constructors.”,In the meantime Maurice walked slowly homeward, puzzling out in his own mind as to what could be the meaning of these strange things. He could not understand why Mrs. Dallas objected to him as a son-in-law; nor could he surmise the meaning of the mysterious word, "Voodoo," pronounced so significantly by Dido, However, he saw plainly that the negress was the disturbing element in the Dallas household, and by a half-hypnotic control over the weak will of her mistress, she could act as she pleased.

Elinor blushed and shook her head.,There was a disconcerting silence, while Judith breathed hard and kept her eyes glued on Miss Green.,Elinor intercepted them at the bottom just as they were preparing for a third flight.,After supper they went out on the porch from which could be seen the works.

As Miss Acton loved "Sally in our Alley," he would be happy to sing it.,"But what—" began Patricia again.,It is an old song she chooses, and simple as old, and sweet as simple. I almost forget the words now, but I know it runs in this wise:,"I sha'n't mind it very much," says Mona, earnestly. "It will be after all, only one half hour out of my whole day.",because your part of it takes care to make itself heard.","And fer God's sake, why?" gasped the frightened O'Dule.,CHAPTER VIII.
