"Well, major," said Mrs. Dallas, after the first greetings were over, "what did that wicked man say to you yesterday?" "It won't be the name of Battersea," said Jen, touching the button of the bell.

That's what I did! I caught that blue satin belt and hooked it together with one hand and ran through my garden right over a bed of savage tiger-lilies and flung myself into John Moore's surgery, slammed the door and backed up against it.
