Elinor jumped up laughing, and hugged her. "I'll be as conceited as you like, if you'll stop scolding," she promised, gayly. "It doesn't look well to be too much under the thumb of a younger sister, even if she is a promising sculptor. By the way, how are you getting on? I hear that Miss Griffin is a wonderful worker. Did you see anything of her work?" Patricia's eyes narrowed. "I believe I'll make my candy up in as attractive a way as I possibly can, and I'll spring it on them first thing, so they'll be in too good a humor to want to haze me very hard. Don't you think that might work for you, too?" "Granted; but you forget that Isabella was in the room on that night. She might have dropped the handkerchief.".

Ladies," he added, with a bow, "I take my departure." "Even so. Why should she have perfumed the handkerchief?" "Am I unjust in my hatred of you?" demanded Jen, getting on his feet. "I think not.
