Etwald bent his sombre looks on Maurice, and that young man, biting his lip, took up the implied challenge in Sarby's remark, and answered plainly:,"You do!" cried Jen, in surprise, "And who told you?","What does Dr. Etwald say about it?",CHAPTER V THE GHOST DANCE，Of course, busybodies, who saw their well-meant but meddlesome advice thus rejected, were by no means pleased, and some even went so far as to say that the shock of death and disappearance had unsettled Jen's reason. They spoke to David and counseled him to look well after his guardian, and said also that the major, if he had his senses about him, which was doubtful, should engage a smart London detective to investigate the case. But, as has been before stated, Jen had concluded to be his own detective.，CHAPTER XII. THE STRANGE PERFUME.，"I guessed as much," said Jen, grimly.

And the first step we're going to take in our new position is to drag you both off to luncheon this very minute. You'd best give in gracefully, for both Judy and I are fearfully strong and ferocious.",Elinor blushed and shook her head.,Judith explained that although she had been so eager for a visit to the celebrated night life, she had tired of the loneliness of work hours, and had run off home, leaving Elinor still expecting her criticism.,"It doesn't seem worth while," she began, but Patricia broke in impatiently:,"About David also?".
