"Woman," cried Jen, with energy, "no one but you could manufacture the poison with which the devil-stick was filled." Dido hesitated, looked at Mrs. Dallas, and came out with a lie. "He guessed as much from the circumstance that the body was carried through your grounds to the lane where the carriage was waiting. You know, major, that this tramp is rather stupid, and it is not an easy thing for him to put two and two together." "What a crowd!" exclaimed Elinor, as they pushed their way to the cloak room.
