"I'd much prefer a quiet time like I had in the head class this morning, or an agreeable time like you had, to anything riotous." "I don't know anything about the devil-stick. I never saw it; but with regard to the perfume I can explain. I was ill on that night, as you know, and Dido applied some of her negro remedies; among them the perfume with which that handkerchief of my mother's was saturated. It was bound across my forehead to soothe the nerves. During my journey to your house I snatched it off, and--" "Well, Battersea," said Isabella, kindly, "how are you to-day?".
