There! Good mornin' to you." She slammed the door.

Lavinia was speechless.

As for her brother, but one remark of his reached Grace, who was watching from the window.
"Laviny," pleaded Kyan, "just let me explain." At nine o'clock that night he was still "explaining." Keziah turned from the door she had closed behind her visitor.
"Well!" she ejaculated.

"WELL!" Her friend did not look at her.

She was still gazing out of the window.
Occasionally she seemed to choke.
Keziah eyed her suspiciously.
"Humph!" she mused.
