Miss Leighton will please come forward to receive the Roberts prize." "No, Major Jen, I can't, and I shan't," retorted Etwald, tartly.

Elinor paused in her hair brushing, and sank down on the stool, absently propping her chin on her brush. "I do," replied Jen, decisively. "But the evidence--ah, the evidence.
