"What did she do?" asked Patricia eagerly. "I have seen it," corrected Etwald, with professional calmness, "the poor fellow is dead, major--dead from blood-poisoning." "I am disgusted with her, too," said Mrs. Dallas, indorsing the major's exclamation. "And you, Mr. Sarby, I can tell from your attitude, from your look; you love Miss Dallas.".
