"Oh," cried Jen, recalling Dido's denial, "she knows of that, does she?" Mr. Henderson has been dead forty-two years. He only lived three months after he married Aunt Adeline, and her crêpe veil is over a yard long yet.

"Yes. I know something, but what it is I dare not tell you now, Uncle Jen," he added, gravely looking at the elder. "If you are wise, you will not pursue your inquiry." "Yes. I'll try and get them to come." He interrupted her with an upheld hand. "I can understand all that," interrupted Jen, "but the similarity of the perfumes? I must have that point cleared up.".
