Judith, with her cheeks flushing and paling and her composed tones carrying conviction, laid the story of her discoveries before them, telling them how she had thought of it first "for fun, like a plot for a story," and then how she had remembered that Doris Leighton had Elinor's keys with access to the locker where the two studies for the prize designs were left that night that Elinor was taken ill; how she had discovered through Doris' younger sister that Doris had made her study for the Roberts prize from a little rough color sketch "just like Elinor had."

"I shall never be free," said Isabella, proudly. "What!" cried Jen, jumping up, "did Dido accuse your mother of the crime?" "No, no!" cried Isabella, with a shudder. "Don't tell me any more of those horrible things." "No," said Lady Meg, speaking for the first time, "because I did not know if you had come by it honestly.".
