Behind him, over his shoulder, peered the pale countenance of David. From the ironical look on the doctor's face it would appear that he had overheard the accusation of the major, and was prepared to treat it with contempt. That such was the case appeared by the first words which issued from his mouth as he faced his accuser.,"Don't I always study like this?" replied Judith without looking up. "Go ahead as long as you like—only don't talk. I want to study.","I can't answer that question either," said the doctor, taking up his hat. "A detective may be able to assist you on those points. Engage one.",Patricia and Elinor, who, with Judith, had put on their best for the little spree, were in the highest spirits and were delighted with everything, remembering many of the chief features of the room and pointing them out to each other until David protested.，"I think it's in the basement," said Elinor dubiously, "but I don't believe we can buy things there. We'd have to go out, anyway, I'm afraid."，Elinor laid her hands on the table and Patricia could see that the fingers were twisted together until the knuckles showed white.，Judith recovered sufficiently to take notice."Hardly," replied Jen, a trifle spitefully. "You have lost the Voodoo stone, remember."

"What did he say?" burst out Patricia, unable to bear the suspense. "Don't beat around the bush so long, for pity's sake, Norn!",Elinor gave a start. "Well, I declare, if I didn't forget all about it!" she exclaimed. "We were so excited with the presents and all, that I never told you! It's going to be perfectly gorgeous. I know you'll be crazy over it.","No. Do you not remember when we examined the window that it was opened from the inside?","Then you know that I am aware of your deception about the handkerchief?","Nor will you--after midday to-morrow. But you will regret if you do not grant me this interview.","Oh, that was rubbish," said Jen, contemptuously. "You didn't mean it.","I'm not half so calm as I look, Miss Pat," she said, seriously. "I'm more excited than I ever was in my life. It's too deep to come to the surface, I guess. I haven't any words for it.",The major was rather inclined to agree with David that it would be difficult to learn anything of material value from Isabella. On the night she had visited the house at three o'clock in the morning her brain had been unsettled for the time being by the terrible death which had overtaken her lover, and she had been thrown into a frenzy by the mysterious theft of his body. The question which the major wished answered was, whether she had been sufficiently herself to remember the events of that night, and especially those which had taken place prior to her escape from The Wigwam. But the only way to decide this doubt was to see the girl personally, and Major Jen feared lest he should find Mrs. Dallas and Dido obstacles to his accomplishment of this object.,"Etwald!" repeated Isabella. "Dr. Etwald?","Mr. Sarby went out as soon as we discovered the loss, and he has not yet returned.","I can't understand you, sir," said Jen, with a sigh. "Whatever your reasons may be, I feel sure that I shall not approve of them.",Patricia gazed gloomily at the door of the life-class room..
