The insult to his audience in the afternoon had succeeded in spreading his fame and a packed house greeted his evening performance. He turned and gazed intently toward the audience. He caught Nell’s glance, who sat near the front as he had wished, and he smiled an acknowledgment of her presence.,Judith wriggled from her with an expression of injured innocence that almost satisfied her.,Here Etwald rose and crossed over to where Maurice was sitting. The young man, guessing his errand, held out his left hand with a smile. Etwald scrutinized it closely, and returned to his seat.,He knows her sufficiently well to refrain from further expostulation, and just accompanies her silently along the lonely road.,Judith's dramatic sense asserted itself, and she frowned at Patricia's frivolous interruption of the portentous silence.，"Yes; I wore my big Rubens hat, the one with——"，Billy puckered up his lips, but his effort was a failure. "You try, Maurice," he said, "I can't jest keep the hole in my mouth steady long enough t' whistle."，"She won't be patronizing Elinor after this," thought Patricia with a chuckle.

She put Elinor's arms away, and going to the mirror, smoothed her tumbled hair, and whisked away the telltale traces of her collapse, while Elinor sat quietly on the edge of the couch watching her with fond anxiety.,"Billy Wilson.","He expected to be married last fall, but there was a hitch in getting out his book," said Mr. Hilton, as he finished his salad.
