Bah! She is only a servant."，"That's a pity, major. By the way, I questioned Dr. Etwald about the matter, and he is of opinion that the man was stunned by a blow on the head."，"I don't think so," said he, with conviction. "Why should he kill Maurice?"，"I'll show you when Monday comes!" she exulted, stepping lightly out into the frosty night.

She--","Mrs. Dallas stole the devil-stick," resumed Jen, imperturbably, "and gave it to Dido, who, by your directions, filled it with fresh poison. Dido gave the newly-prepared weapon of death to you, and with it you killed my poor boy at the very gates of the girl he loved.",CHAPTER XI THE LITTLE RIFT,It was a brisk, sunny day, and they were waiting for Elinor on the steps of the Academy.

You did not inform me that by Dr. Etwald's directions you filled the devil-stick with poison, or that you steeped the handkerchief found in the room of Mr. Alymer in the same poison for the purpose of drugging my servant; or again, that you concealed yourself under the bed, and afterward drugged him.","Have you any idea as to the guilty person?" he asked, in a hurried tone.,Patricia curled up cozily while Miss Jinny read the two Sunday chapters in a full, melodious voice, beginning with the ineffable words, "In my Father's house are many mansions.","She was fearfully angry and warned me that if I said a word about the theft of the devil-stick I would be in danger of hanging my own mother.","I declare if I ain't a firm believer in fairies after this," she said with frank affection.
