"Look, look!" cried Judith, her eyes alight and her whole slender little figure relaxed. "Two trees are down!" "You'll hear," returned Miss Jinny, settling herself with a jerk. "I must congratulate you, Peri Banou," she said with sharp gayety. "Everyone is saying that the Princess—your sister—is the clou of the ball.", "Fine! Fine!" he cried, nodding his head approvingly. "That beats them all! My wife, she used to sing that song, and I liked it fine, but you beat them all!".
