Aunt Adeline came out of the front door, and said in the most frozen tone of voice—,The girls had been talking of the initiation and the part that Elinor had played.,"Oh!" said the major, in a satirical tone. "You found it? Where?","Resurrectionists!" suggested Arkel; whereupon Major Jen shuddered.,"Ah," said Jen, to himself, "I knew that Isabella was speaking falsely. Go on, Jaggard," he added aloud. "Why did you not call out?"，"No, doctor! I am too weary to frame theories at this hour of the night. But, no doubt, Mr. Inspector yonder, can--"，"I'd heard her say the Saturday that Miss Jinny came to see us that she never made sketches beforehand," said Judith, earnestly. "And she told Patricia the very day Elinor fainted that she hadn't begun her study. So I pretended to myself that we were all in a story, and I thought and thought what I should make of it if I were reading about it all instead of living in it. Then I saw that the thing to do was to find out if Doris Leighton had the little color sketch that she used for her study, and compare it with Elinor's."，"Yes, sir, thank you, sir," replied the man, in a weak voice. "I'm sorry, sir, but I couldn't help myself. I was drugged, sir."Without waiting to take him with me, or think, or do anything but feel deadly savage anger, I hurried across the garden and into Dr. Moore's surgery, where he was just taking off his gloves and dust-coat.

CHAPTER V. DR. ETWALD'S WARNING.,"Hush!" said Elinor in an undertone. "Don't make a fuss. There's Doris Leighton waving to us from the model stand. She looks awfully well, doesn't she? Her little vacation——","Why, I am awfully nice!" she cried, delighted with the picture. "I'll never know myself! Do get off your things, Norn, I'm crazy to see how you look.","I'll show you when Monday comes!" she exulted, stepping lightly out into the frosty night. "You'll see if it isn't worth while.","Why don't you get the Voodoo stone yourself, if you adore it so much?" cried Mrs. Dallas, exasperated by this obstinacy.,"No, dat only drib away bad debbils. But you scratch de skin with one leetle bit of it, and you die, die, die!",Elinor sat looking at him with her eyes shining, and then she drew a quick breath.,"Comedy!" echoed Mrs. Dallas, in scorn. "You mean tragedy!","Tell us your guess, doctor; as it interests me so nearly, I have a right to know.","What!" cried Jen, interrupting sharply. "Did Dr. Etwald know about it also?",In this Jen was wrong, but, as he was only an amateur detective, he cannot be blamed very severely for his negligence at this particular moment. He acted--as he thought--for the best, and therefore hastened to explain to Arkel the position of affairs before the return of Dr. Etwald. Afterward, when the matter of the accusation and arrest were settled, he intended to have speech with David, and insist upon an explanation of the young man's mysterious behavior. Thus did the situation present itself to his inexperienced eyes.,"Pooh, I'm not a bit tired," protested Judith. "I sit this way every night for hours.".
