I couldn't have done much better myself—'Tom Hughes and I are coming to town next Saturday, and we are going to blow ourselves, for his birthday.' Not very enlightening as to Tom Hughes—never heard of him before; but that's neither here nor there, of course." Jen hesitated. "Miss Judith Kent Kendall has just had her first story accepted and printed in The Girl's Companion.".
