moom 43. Madolin’s Lover A long time ago there was a man who had two wives. They were not good women; they did not look after their home nor try to keep things comfortable there. If the man brought in plenty of buffalo cow skins they did not tan them well, and often when he came home at night, hungry and tired after his hunting, he had no food, for these women would be away from the lodge, visiting their relations and having a good time.,"You shall know in a few minutes, major. Indeed, I think it is about time that this comedy should end!","She doesn't understand," puts in Violet, quickly. "Mona, are you going to see everybody that may choose to call upon you, good, bad, and indifferent, from this till you die?","That's Anson's coat all right," she affirmed. "Now twist about so's I kin see them hip pockets in the pants.",Slowly at last I lifted the blue muslin, twenty-three-inch waist shroud and let it slip over my head and fall slimly around me. I was fastening the buttons behind and was fumbling the next one into the buttonhole when I suddenly heard laughing excited voices coming up the side street that ran just under my west window. Something told me that Alfred had come by the five-down train instead of the six-up, and I fairly reeled to the window and peeped through the venetian blind.，There was a murmur of assent and Elinor rose quickly.，Patricia stamped her foot in vexation. "What do you mean?" she cried.

"She didn't feel that it was any excuse for her conduct, anyway.","I am Paul Rodney," he now volunteers,—"your husband's cousin, you know.

Patricia, from her hiding place behind the door screen, could make out nothing but the dim oblong of the transom above her head and the long pale mass of the skylight.,"So I understand; but did Dr. Etwald bring it to the house with him?","But this is very sad for you, isn't it?" she says, feeling herself in duty bound to say something.,"How d'ye do, Mrs. Rodney? Is Lady Rodney at home? I hope so," says Mrs. Carson, a fat, florid, smiling, impossible person of fifty.,"He's tryin' to coax me away from his treasure," Billy answered. "Now, jest watch him.",As she thus ponders within herself, Spice and Allspice, the two dogs, set up a simultaneous howl, and immediately afterwards a voice says, eagerly,—,"I doubt it. But will you see Dido or shall I send her away?",Standing high above them in the semi-gloom, with that faint smile still on her lips, she watched them calmly as they danced the famous Ghost Dance of the Academy about her, omitting no gruesome detail that would be calculated to affright the dismayed beholder, chanting and groaning horribly the while.,"I should think so," said Etwald, coldly.
