CHAPTER XVIII. THE DEVIL-STICK THIEF. "Was I humming?" she asked genially. "I didn't know I was making any noise at all. I'm awfully sorry to have gotten on your nerves. I was thinking about some exercises, and I must have thought out loud." "Do get on, Miss Pat," urged Judith, folding her napkin. "I've got to get to school sometime this morning, you know.".

Those two extra pounds might be construed to prove that I was in love, but exactly with whom I was utterly unprepared to say. I didn't even enjoy the thinness, but took a kind of already married look in my glass and tried to slip the egg past my bored lips and get myself to chew it down.
