"But I thought you were going to bring Tom Hughes——" she began, hesitatingly.,"One gets used to anything in time," said Patricia airily. "You remember how Sally Lukes missed the doing of those five weekly washes after Johnny got prosperous enough to keep her in comfort. I reckon we'll be just like that after a while—can't eat without smudges on the table and paint-splotches on the dining-room walls.",Elinor responded promptly.,"Ain't it too late, sir?",He very far from kissed the hand; he held it just long enough to turn me round into the light and give me one long looking-over from head to feet.，Patricia was introduced, and Margaret Howes, with promises to meet them later, went off finally, and Patricia and Elinor set to work to dispose of their neglected lunch, enjoying their own comments on the assembled groups more than they did the cakes and fruit.，"You must have had a thought wave, Miss Patricia," said Tom Hughes. "The unexpected friend is here all right."，"I don't agree with that theory. There are flaws in it.""Glorious night that makes us strong,

"But surely, Uncle Jen, you don't look upon her as the guilty person!",He was tall, he was thin, with a dark, lean face, and fiery watchful dark eyes. For three years he had been wasting his talents in the neighboring town of Deanminster; when, if intellect were in question, he should have been shouldering his way above the crowd of mediocrities in London. The man was dispassionate, brilliant and persevering; he had in him the makings not only of a great physician, but of a great man; and he was wasting his gifts in a dull provincial town. He was unpopular in Deanminster, owing to the absence of what is termed "a good bedside manner," and the invalids of the cathedral city and Hurstleigh, for he had patients in both places, resented his brusque ways and avoidance of their scandal-mongering tea parties. Also he was a mystery; than which there can be no greater sin in provincial eyes. No one knew who Etwald was, or whence he came, or why he wasted his talents in the desert of Deanminster; and such secret past which he declined to yield up to the most persistent questioner, accentuated the distrust caused by his sombre looks and curt speeches. Provincial society is intolerant of originality.,"Couldn't," said Miss Jinny, briefly. "A girl without friends or money hasn't much show in a big town.

"And I'm sure Judy would love to be with Mrs. Shelly alone—they'd have so much more chance for talk together.","It means murder, Jaggard!" replied Jen in a hollow voice which he hardly recognized as his own. "Mr. Maurice went to Deanminster before dinner, and now--" the major pointed again to the remains.,"Here?","Yes, and in an easy manner. Never get married.","I'm not so sure of that," retorted Maurice; "I love Isabella, and come what may I intend to make her my wife.","'Dear Elinor'—begins well, doesn't it, Judy? I couldn't have done much better myself—'Tom Hughes and I are coming to town next Saturday, and we are going to blow ourselves, for his birthday.' Not very enlightening as to Tom Hughes—never heard of him before; but that's neither here nor there, of course.","Oh, Billy, what is the matter?" I gasped and gave him a little terrified shake.,Patricia was only too glad to give in. "That makes it perfectly simple, then," she said gratefully. "I'm tremendously obliged to you for helping me out.".
