"Dr. Etwald! Do you think he has anything to do with it?" queried Jen, perplexed and a trifled startled. Patricia broke off laughing at Judith's absolutely unconscious face, as, with fingers once again screwed into her ears and mouth twisted intently, she immersed herself in the dignified oblivion of study.
