I must say you are getting to be awfully extreme, Elinor Kendall. You'll want me to wear a muzzle next.",Elinor smiled assent, and Miss Jinny went on.，"What are you going to do with that lovely old shawl she brought you, Elinor?" she asked, tossing the end of her long braid over her shoulder and yawning luxuriantly.

He worked himself up into a passion, and entered the young Queen's room, dagger in hand. He did not wish, however, to take her by surprise, and so he repeated to her, very respectfully, the order he had received from the Queen-mother.
