I know she'd be crazy to get a glimpse of it, and then she might get a snap-shot at the fun in here." "And condemn the poor girl to eternal misery," said Etwald. "Well, I do not agree with you. But, at least, keep silent until after our interview to-morrow." "Besides, I wanted to see Miss Jinny," said Judith, affectionately twining her arms about Miss Jinny's waist.
