He began to squirm out of my arms toward the table and the glass.,Mrs. Dallas was a large, fat and eminently lazy woman, who passed most of her time in knitting or sleeping or eating. Her husband had died before she had come to England, and it was the desire to preserve her daughter's health which had brought her so far from the sun-baked islands which her soul loved.,"I promise you," said Jen again. "Please go. Miss Dallas. There is no time to be lost, and you must not be found here."，"Well," said Lady Meg, "it would seem that the devil-stick is the center of this mystery."，"Maurice!" muttered Isabella, looking piteously at him.，"I'll be along later. I've got something to attend to first," promised Patricia, inwardly quaking lest the other should offer to wait for her; but she went off with the crowd that was hurrying into the clay room, and Patricia was free to arrange her surprise."I wonder who it could have been," they both murmured as they went upstairs to their rooms.

The mansion, with its flat roof and wide verandas, had a tropical look, and indeed it had been built by a retired Indian nabob at the beginning of this century.
