"Why, I didn't know Hannah Ann liked me specially," she protested. "I thought Miss Pat was her favorite." "I don't think so; it wouldn't be legal," answered Arkel. "The only chance of getting the negress to confess to the whole truth is for either you or I to gain possession of that stone." "Look, look!" cried Judith, her eyes alight and her whole slender little figure relaxed. "Two trees are down!".
