Miss Jinny, at the sight of Patricia fluttering in among them in her white gauzy draperies like some dainty moth, held out a reproving finger. "I asked you here at the particular request of Dr. Etwald." "Unexpected, Mr. Alymer!" smiled Etwald. "After my statement last night?".

Patricia bubbled with enjoyment of the surprise. She kissed Mrs. Bingham and Mrs. Lindley, too, though she had never laid eyes on her before, and she came near kissing the tall Mr. Lindley, much to the edification of the others who had rushed from the sitting-room at the sound of the outcry. "Then don't address me!" "By blackmailing? I see. I suppose he hung on behind." "Then Dr. Etwald--that horrid, gloomy creature!".
