"The men have returned dead tired, but they have seen nothing and no one.","I don't understand you.","Oh!" rejoined Etwald, quietly, "Mr. Alymer told me so to-night.","Doris Leighton's sister has the scarlet fever," she announced, enjoying the stir that the name caused, "and Doris is nursing her. She takes turns with the nurse, and Geraldine cries when she goes out of the room."，"No; but she supplied the means to the man who did."，"Poor thing, she's done it at last!" cried Patricia compassionately. "Then what happened?"，"I must congratulate you, Peri Banou," she said with sharp gayety. "Everyone is saying that the Princess—your sister—is the clou of the ball.","I can, however," said Jen, grimly. "Oh, it is just as I thought."

"Dying!" cried Patricia, aghast. "Why they said she was better this morning.",The girl unmistakably caught the words, for she turned a brilliant, measuring, half-approving look on her while she slowly began to divest herself of the alluring green apron. She was so evidently used to admiration that her smooth cheek showed no change of color, though the panic red of swift confusion flamed on Patricia's bright face.,"All? What else do you expect me to say?" demanded Etwald, coldly.,It was Elinor who rushed to the defense. "We've always found her sweet-tempered and kind, haven't we, Patricia? She's very popular and perhaps you thought her spoiled, but I'm sure, dear Miss Jinny, if you knew her better you'd like her as much as we do.",Griffin looked sadly in the direction of the voice.,"Nor I," said Isabella. "The major is a kind man, and he wants to see me happy. He is--","Yes, I am—if I ever go there," returned Patricia with great spirit. "But I shan't have time for a long while. I'm going to raise chickens with Miriam Halden this summer, and I've got to start in right away with the plans for the houses and yards.","One of her lies," said Isabella, vehemently. "I did not know she had gone to your house until the servant told me. Then when I remembered how the devil-stick had been stolen I was afraid lest Dido should be contriving further mischief. Although it was late I could not rest in my bed. I tossed and turned with my brain burning with the fever. I felt that I must learn what was taking place at your house. My mother left me about two o'clock in the morning quite worn out with her watching. Then I rose, put on a dressing-gown, and escaped by the window. I reached your library at three o'clock. You know the rest.","I don't know anything about it, Etwald; but truth to tell, Maurice does not like you!","No," said the negress. But while her tongue uttered the denial, her eyes rolled uneasily around the lawn, as though dreading some invisible presence. "No, missy. Dido a great one, you know. She no 'fraid ob dat doctor; but him big man, missy; you marry him.","Ho, dat one big lie. Der ain't de debble-stick but in de king's palace at Kumassi.",Jen hesitated..
