Patricia found the Haldens, mother and daughters, so much to her mind that she was full of regret that she had not met them earlier. They were kindly, whole-hearted people who lived without any quarrel with life, and Patricia, as well as Elinor and Miss Jinny, rejoiced openly in the prospect of a summer together in dear old Rockham. At this moment the door of the library opened slowly, and Dr. Etwald, calm and composed, appeared on the threshold. Behind him, over his shoulder, peered the pale countenance of David.

That such was the case appeared by the first words which issued from his mouth as he faced his accuser. "I wonder what keeps them?" she said anxiously.

"Isabella! My God!" David looked terrified. When they were being settled in their places, Judith found opportunity to whisper to Bruce, who immediately turned to the Belgian, who was helping Patricia remove her coat. "Tell us your guess, doctor; as it interests me so nearly, I have a right to know." "Pooh, I'm not a bit tired," protested Judith. "I sit this way every night for hours.".
