It was Etwald who had bound up the wound with the handkerchief in question, and who, according to the housemaid, had forbidden its removal.

I won't be too hard on you.","How perfectly heavenly!" exclaimed Patricia, with rapture. "I wish I'd been there to hear it.","Like a charm to keep off ghosts," laughed Patricia. "Perhaps we ought to cross our fingers, Ju, when we remember to. That might help, too.","The best thing about you, Miss Pat," said Elinor, the day before the party, "is that you know when to stop. I simply haven't accomplished a thing the last two days, and yet I couldn't have the courage to shirk the Academy. You stay away joyously, and get the full benefit.","I know she's going to be a treat," she declared. "I hope she keeps whole for a while at least, until I get better acquainted.","I wouldn't if I were you, major!" said Etwald, judiciously; "she might be the bearer of valuable information, likely to lead to the detection of Alymer's assassin.","The assassin--you know the assassin?
