Ju and I are mighty proud of our big sister, aren't we, Ju?" "She's a perfect angel," cried Patricia, her heart warming at the thought of Doris' genuine sweetness of nature. "If Miss Jinny really had known her, she'd been the last to suspect her." Jen drew back and stared at the young man in angry surprise..
