"It's better than I ever dreamed," she said to the amiable Griffin as she was showing her how to put the wet cloths about her work. "It's not half so hard as I thought it would be, either." "The devil-stick gone!" he said, turning on his heel. "Both you and I must be careful, Maurice." "Better," said Griffin tersely. "We're so filled with other people's ideas that we've degenerated into regular copy-cats. I can't undertake any subject but that I have a lot of designs by famous painters popping into my mind and mixing me up horribly.".

"Your mother," he muttered, hardly believing the evidence of his own senses. "Your mother stole the devil-stick?" "I shall explain," said Etwald. "David found out that Maurice was going to meet Isabella that night secretly in the grounds of Mrs. Dallas near the gates. Determined to see the meeting, and to learn if there was any hope for him, he feigned a journey to London in order to lull any suspicions which Maurice might have that he was being watched. Instead of going, however, he concealed himself at a spot where he could see the gates which opened onto the highway. Now," added Etwald, with a side glance at the major, "it so happened that I also wished to see that meeting." "Do not go, madam," said he, quietly. "I have something to show you." "Certainly not," interrupted Arkel, sharply. "I can prove nothing. I am quite puzzled.".
