“Your nose is out of joint, Edith! I’ve got a new sister.” But his eyes belied his blunt words. The best amusement of the hours of imprisonment was planning for the performance of “The Lady of the Lake.” Nothing definite, except that it was to be out of doors, had unfolded till now, when irksome leisure and May Nell’s quick mind together bore fruit.
