"Can't she let the poor man rest in his grave?" said Jen, wrathfully. "It is all through her opposition to the match that this has come about!" "O—oh," responded the girl, her face suddenly alight.

"You're tired to death, and yet you come out of your way to see about Elinor. You look dreadfully fagged." Upon her Dido exercised a powerful, and it must be confessed, malignant influence. She had fed the quick brain of the girl with weird tales of African witchcraft and fanciful notions of terrestrial and sidereal influences.
