"What!" cried Jen, jumping up, "did Dido accuse your mother of the crime?" "If I were there enough to know the different girls, I'd know who it was without much trouble," she declared. "She want you to-day," insisted Dido, obstinately. "You approved of my reasons before, major. You shall approve of them again. In the meantime, until the trial, let us remain strangers.".
