The worlil that is cut by many roads And we know each must choose his one; And yet we stand — half afraid, half yearning, And realize ' we have finished, yet just begun. Some of the roads may lead tliru forest gloom, Aud some thru the meadow wide, And some on the narrow mountain peak, And some — by the broad sea side. And some may be narrow city streets. And some n.ay be broad and long. And some may be bordered by mournful sounds, And some may be gay with song. But far beyond in the land of the stars Is the place where all roads end.

Sud- denly there came an iey hand upon my forehand, and an im- patient, gibbering voice whispered the word. Arise! within my ear. I remained motionless, and the cold hand grasped me fiercely by the wrist, shaking it roughly, the gibbering voice said: Arise! Did I not bid thee arise? And who. I demanded. art thou ? I have no name in the regions which I inhabit, replied the voice mournfully. I cannot rest for the cry of these great agonies. These sights are more than I can bear. Come with nil ' into the outer night, and let me unfold to thee wonderful sights. I looked and behold, a curtain seemed to pass from before my eyes. I found myself gazing into a long room. On l)oth sides of the walls hospital cots were placed. Everything in the room was white and spotless. At the farther end of the room a door was opened and three people entered. They stopped at each cot, Init finally tlic. cjiiiie close enough for me to see them. I decided that they were the doctors and two nurses visiting their patients. When they came closer. I recognized the faces of three t)f my old classmates at S. N. S. The 74 W e lITirginian (loftor, the one with the glasses on. was iKine (iUht than Elizaljeth Ilaiieofk, and Lola Bull and Elizabeth Semple were t he inirsis. The latter was experienced in cases. They; stopped near enongh for iiir to hear them say, that th ' y wen- expecting Harriett Johns, the f ' amons h( ai-t specialist. And then I rcMMi ' mhcred that Harriott had been interested in heai-ts when she was at the Xoi ' inaj. Then all became dai ' k again. While T remained niotionh-ss. and cndravdn-d to collect my thoughts, the cold hand clasped me fiercely by the wrist, and the gibbering voice said: Behold! A great blinding light flashed before me. When it became dimmer, I could see the interior of (as it seemed to me) a great Cathedral. The voice said, Listen! Presently I heard music that .seemed to come from another world, it sounded so far away. It came nearer and nearer, and as I listened, my thoughtsi again turned to S. N. S. Surely I hacT. heard those voices before. I quickly glanced around the Cathedral and was surprised to see so many beautiful Christmas decorations. Then the singers came into view, and as they passed before me I recognized Lucy Allen. ;Mabel Spratley. and Fannie Kent. After they had passed into their seats the music stopped. Presently the music began again and a single voice couldl be heard singing a Carol to the accompaniment of a Hammer. The voice was that of Har- riet Parrish. I left the Cathedral and was led through a long, dark pa.ssage. After What seemed to be an eternity, I came to the end of the tunnel, and glanced around. Something seemed to push me towards a large, white building. On the door there was a sign which read, Enter the Office by This Door. I entered. A ladji arose to meet me. I recognized jMary Codd, and I was not surprised when she told me that she was the President of the organization. I asked for special permission to visit the rooms and was given a permission which allowed me to spend five minutes in each room. She insisted upon sending her assistant with me and immediately sent Virginia Thomas, who told me that the organiza- tion was originated for the purpose of studying the human mind, and also for the development of certain desirable (|ualities in a human being. AVe entered a room in which there was one teacher with several Iwys and girls. At fii-st I thought the face of the teacher was familiar but T simply could not place it. But when she said to one boy, What is a head-light. Wi ' um? I knew that it was Elizabeth Bivins, because Elizabeth never could say William when she was at school. The five minutes was up and so we went into another room. In this g g Itfirginian ' room, girls were taught to argue, so I was informed. T didn ' t expect to find any schoolmates there, hecause I thought most of them could speak for their side of a question. This class was heing conducted hy Lizzie Young, assisted by lartha Troughton. Ellen Vaughan and Louise Pruden. It was a large class, and the first member that I recognized was Carey Jeter, and I coimted eight others that I had known. They were Olivia Compton, Rosa Caplan, Eva Orr, Genevieve Gre.sliam. Lemma Garrett, Lillie Hughes, Eugenia Harris and Elizabeth Boggs. In another room we saw Blanche Ellett teaching Dorothy Bratten. Helen Wimbish, Louise Miller, Gertrude Turnbull, Alice Baskerville and Blanche Adams how to cure themselves of bashfulness. Blanche was assisted by Nellie Nance, and Madge Hood. I was told that the class met every day and that a few had private instructions also. In the library. I found Lauriee Glass, the librarian. She showed me several books that had been written by old classmates. One book was entitled Histnrial Findings by Catherine Hill. In a magazine, I found, under the title. Who ' s Who and Why, the names of Julia Bond Price, who was said to he a famous man impersonator; Elizabeth Jarrett, a celebrated pianist; Jessie Jliller, a Mathematician of great renown ; and Elizabeth Painter, the poet. Suddenly things became very black. I was afraid to move and yet seemed to be moving rapidly. It was light again. I found myself seated in a large theatre. The curtain rose and the famous comedian. Madame Liz-Emma appeared on the stage. When she spoke her voice sounded rather familiar, but not until I had heard the giggles of the famous comedian did I recognize Eliza- beth Ewald. Madame Liz-Emma was supported by a chorus, which was com- posed of Sallie Cas.sidy. Ruljy Brooks. Clairborne Perrow and ] Iary Rumbough. Objects began to fade and in a second ' s time I entered a large building. Strange people were coining and going and every one seemed busy. Some one at my left asked if I wished to see the Editor-in-Chief. I decided that I did and so I was led back into a very business-like looking office. The Editor-in-Chief was Julia Campbell, and she informed me that she was publishing a newspaper; Jose- phine Wayts was the literary editor ; Ella Lester, assistant literary editor ; Nancy Ritsch. art editor ; Gay Pugh, business manager, and Patsy Watkins. news editor. They were gcing to publish an ;mniial that would jilcase cvi ' ry girl in a certain normal school. ' fl ' Jlfirginian While looking over some old copies of their newspaper, I read the follow- ing, which were of much interest to me. The first was an advertisement which stated that the best of dinners could l)e obtained at a restaurant which was owned by Margaret and Mary Coverston and Sallie Johnson. They claimed that their food was cooked just like the Greek used to cook. In another paper I found the announcements of the engagements of Louise Harvey, Susie Hancock and Olive Harris, and the account of the marriage of Laura Lee Eason. Elfie Meredith, Mildred Booker, Edith Abbitt and Didie ' SlmUm li;i(l d ■' cided to liecome missionarie.5 and had sailed for the foreign field. I left the office — and found myself enveloped in gloom. I seemed to l)e moving in air, to have no care — no hope — no effort. xV voice called to me out of the darkness, but I paid no attention to the word.5. The blackness almost consumed me, but the voice spoke on. I began to emerge from total unconscious- ness — my eyelids opened — and the voice of Mrs. Slater said, ' ' IMary, it is six o ' clock, and you asked to be called at six. — Mary Aline Bell.

We ' ve reached the end Of the weary way that leads unto the height; We ' ve climbed o ' er rugged rocks and tangled brush To a purer air, and a fairer light. Was the journey but a mad rush for a goal? Attained — is all the strife and conflict o ' er? Were the flying hours and overcrowded daj s To end in this and nothing more? If this be all, where does our victory lie, Although we ' ve reached a fairer, broader view And purer air? Sweet violets peeped from rocks below And clust ' ring roses in the thicket grew; We lacked the time to pick them; we could not stop To hear the birds; all nature called along the way We could not wait to gaze at beckoning stars, The goal must be reached, we could not stay. We ' re glad to finish. Why? Is the vict ' ry worth the pain? The roses cheered the weary traveller ' s way while they. If plucked, had died by now. The fragrant violets If picked, had lasted but a day. So then we ' ll not regret the flowers we passed by on the way; In their sweet fragrance rest the wear} ' find. We struggled. Were our efforts worth the stars And clouds and music left behind? The striving gave us strength, and friendships made During those hours of toil constant will remain; still Was the victory worth the strain and effort spent? Ascending the rugged pathways of the hill? We have the bracing air and broader view, The earliest flaming banners of the rising sun; It ' s value comrades? The answer rests with you — Is our work finished, or begun? Eliz. beth P.uxter. ¥ fl ' J irginian £iJ M Ok i 5 ' c j r err ' r 7 r ' Lest w- lo-r-q - Us-t vv-e |ov-c|e-t!

She was interrupted by the servant at her elbow. Mrs. Castleday wants to see you in her office at once. It is something important. Oh my sakes ! What on earth does she want in such a hurry? Susie laid her napkin unfolded on the table and followed the servant out through the labyrinth of tables. She began to thinl? over all the pranks and mischief she had engaged in for the past mouth. She might at least have let me finish my breakfast in peace. she thought. It is positively the limit to be called out of the dining room to be lectured. ' ' She was really very much displeased with J[rs. Castleday by the time she reached the office, and she opened the door with a resolve to face her as brazenly as possible. The first thing that claimed her attention, however, was not Mrs. Castleday, but the vivid yellow envelope in her hand. ' ' Oh, Mrs. Castleday, is that a telegram for me ? Let me see it quickly. Don ' t be nervous, Susie, I hope it is not very bad news. Have any of your relatives been ill? No, please tell what has happened? Is anyone dying? Don ' t keep me in suspense. Susie reached impatiently for the telegram. Read it for yourself, because I cannot understand what it means to insinuate — unless someone is ill. The paper seemed to dance up and down in her haiuls so that she could scarcely read, but she managed to grasp the following message, dated that morning from her home town and signed by her brother. Things look pretty serious. Critical time will soon be over. Have written details. — Ted. ' ' What is the goose talking amout. Mother is ill or Papa has been in an accident, I know. I am going home right away. ' Q- OTrginian ' Oh no I That would be silly. If they want you to come they would have said. ' Come at once. ' Some one has evidently suddenly broken out with some contagious disease and they wrote you about it yesterday. As you will not receive the letter until today they telegraphed to keep you from feeling uneasy. ' ' I don ' t think so at all! They know me well enough to realize that I would come on the next train after receiving such a message. Dear old Ted ! I told him to let me know if anything happened to anyone while I was away, and true to his darling old self he did it, of course. ' ' Susie, it is positively silly of you to think of going unless they send for you. Your brother ma. ' not know what is best. You must telegraph back at once and find out what is the trouble, or else wait until yovi receive his letter. There may be some contagious disease which you will contract if you go, and then you will be unable to return to school. Then you would be an extra burden and you are not experienced enough to help nurse anyone else. I don ' t care if it ' s — the leprosy! I want to have it too if they have it at home. As for returning to school, I don ' t mind that especially. Susie marched indignantly out of the office. She was met at the comer of the office by her chums, Ruth and JIay. They were both very much excited on her account and rushed upon her with zest. Did she ask you about the fly paper that she stepped into the other night when she opened her door to catch us ? My! but you looked scpelched, they exclaimed, breathless with interest. Girls look! Susie drew the telegram from her sweater pocket and read it to them. I know it means that some one at home is ill and Jlrs. Castle ' day declares that I shall not go home until I hear in detail what it all means, and just because tiny did not say come in so many words. I don ' t care. T am going anyhow. Oh, you poor darling. We never imagined she wanted you for anything like that. Of coiirse you are going. Both girls tried to compensate for their thoughtless greeting by being doubly sympathetic. There ' s the old chapel bell. I shall have only enough time to stuff a few things into my suit ease, if I catch that nine-eight train. I ' m glad I have my new hat ready to wear. Oh girls! I ' ve .just thought about it. I must tele- 114 gEfjc 10irginian ' graph them to have some one at the station to meet me, lu ' eaiisr. of eoiirse. Teil doesn ' t know what time I am coming. I can get that attended to at the station. however. Help me strap this thing up, will you ? Thi.s will be very different from going home Christmas, when Ted had a crowd of college girls and boys to meet me at the train. Let me fix your hair while Ruth gets your si;it. All right! I must get away while everyone is in chapi-1, Iluri-y with my hair! They are sing ' ng the first hymn now. If I am stopped it will break my heart, ilay, look out and see if any one is in sight. No, not a soul, but make haste. You know Irs. Castleday always comes up on this hall during chapel. ' ' If they catch me now, I shall not get another chance to escape. Oh. is my hair done? Well, I guess I am ready! After a frantic search for a hat pin and her purse. Susie was ready to start for the station. The closing hymn had been started in chapel when after a last desperate stab at her hat pins and a hasty glance at the mirror, she started. We ' ll have to go out the back way and run fast or they ' ll be coming out of chapel and see us. Susie panted her directions, as she ran. to the other two girls tugging her suit case. I .just saw Mrs. Castleday go up the front stairway. announced Ruth, likewise panting. Run faster! If I get caught I am ruined. Having reached the station they felt more relieved. The hoarse whistle of the train sent a thrill of excitement through Susie, and for the first time she realized that she was acting positively against llrs. Castleday ' s wishes. It wa s too late now to go back even if she had wanted to. for she would be seen by the girls and faculty coming from chapel, and would be in disgrace. Besides she had telegraphed them at home that she was coming. She tried to appear self- possessed and unconscious of the inquiring gaze of the people as she stepped into the train. Good bye ! Write to me every day and tell the others where I am and — good bye. She had a feeling that the inmates of the train would think she was being expelled, and she felt so guilty that she felt them reading ' it on her face. The train pulled out, leaving two sympathetic girls looking after it until the last wave from Susie ' s handkerchief was indiscernible. g fjc lUirginian Having settled herself in a good seat and disposed of her Ijaggage and ticket, there was nothing left for Susie to do but to settle down and divert her- self as best she could with her thoughts. She had been so full of excitement and hurry that she had not really taken time to think before during the morning. Being suddenly transplanted from a multitude of chattering school girls, of which she was a unit, into a trainful of indifferent strangers was rather jarring, and she felt like an exile. When did I ever think I should be called home for anything like this, she thought. If I only knew what the trouble is the suspense would not be quite so terrible. It isn ' t Ted who is ill at any rate, for he sent the message. I wish I had some one to talk to. This train is the slowest I ever travelled on. I wish I had asked Ruth to come with me. A stream of tears was threatening to roll down her cheeks, but she hap- pened to glance across the aisle and saw. a placidly inquisitive old lady, who showed by the expression on her face, that it would only take a tear or two to })ring her over to beg Susie to confide in her. Susie was naturally friendly and liked nice old ladies, but she felt at present that she could not bear to talk to this one, although she was dreadfully lonely. She took especial pains to keep her face turned to the window all the rest of the way home. She was beginning to think that she mi;st have passed the station while her eyes were covered with tears, when the conductor bawled out the name right over her head with such fierce distinction that she was angry with herself for having had such a silly idea. She glanced out of the window as the train slowed up and saw her mother standing on the platform with an expression on her face which she never wore except when she was worried about one of her children. As Su.sie reached the doorway she saw that her father and Ted were both there scrutinizing each emerging passenger for the face that they expected. What on earth did this mean ! Evidently none of her family were ill or hurt in any way. Father nuist have suddenly failed in business and is not able to keep mo at .school, was the only solution she could think of as she fell into the embracing arms of her family. They were especially careful of her, but no questions were asked by either member of the family until they were on the way home in Ted ' s car. Her mother sitting beside her on the back seat, saw the signs of Susie ' s pent-up feelings, and she thought it was time to give her relief. Putting her arm around her she said, Now tell mother why you came and all about it. ' fl lIFirginian Susie gave a slit;li1 stall of snrpri-ie. AVIiy. f do not know wliat it is al)out .yet, lint since you telegraphed Telegraphed! Who telegraphed? Why Ted, of course. Are you crazy, Susie? Ted hasn ' t telegraphed anything. Indeed he did. Something was the matter with someone, and things were getting serious, and a great rigmarole, and of course I came right on. What did you mean by such a trick, Ted, .she asked leaning over the back of the front seat. Pshaw, said Ted turning around and grinning, I wrote you in the letter that our college team was playing a series of games with Lichton Academy, and I Imew yoii were interested, so I was going to keep you posted as to our progress day by day. As he helped her from the ear he added in an undertone, That was a plucky little scheme you worked to come home for the games. Robert was just wishing for you today to cheer our team. — E. G. G. gri c Wirglnian 3oan of arc In France there lived a iiaiden By angels loved so dear, They s] oke to her in voices That none but she could hear. Tiiey spoke of battles bloody That Prance must undergo; They said that she, Joan of Arc, Should lead against the foe. ' Oh, blessed beings, sjiare nie, I am afraid to go And leave my home and kindred To fight against the foe. ' I am a lowly maiden Content to sit and sjiin And read my holy Bible — I could not fight and win. ' Choose some more worthy leader Whose heart no fear doth know. To save our France from ruin. And lead against the foe. ' ' Then on her knees she begged them; Her cries they would not heed; You are the chosen one, they said, To help in France ' s need. Then up a:03e .Joan from her knees, Her eyes held hidden fire; My heart grows strong at duty ' s call ' ith courage you ii.spiie. The cruel wars came on apace, Joan led ' gainst the foe; With lilies white her emblem pure. She conquered every foe. The Sjiirit led her thru the strife, The Spirit from on high, The Sjiirit that will still live on Although Jeanne d ' .Arc will die. But jealous lords with base design Did plot against her life; Her jiower grew great with victory And they must have her life. ' Oh spare n-e, spare ne, sirs ! she cried, ' ' I only ask one boon, To never tax one little spot. The village I call home. But cruel were their hearts within And filled with vice and greed; They sold the maid who saved them from The foe that n a le Fraiu-e bleed. They sold her to the English king, rngratt ' ful France! for shan e! That deed will ever be a blot On thy once spotless name. They put her to a cruel death But e ' er her soul had flown My voices! Jesus, Jesus! Was her last dving moan. Joan of Arc died on that day. But her spirit leads us still, ' The spirit angels brought from Heav ' n The Spirit of God ' s will. — G. M. W. ' 15. Wfi Wir ' inlan H S. B. S. Ipicmc T was Muudy morning in jMareh, and the l i ' ll -idnndcil tor us to start on our picnic to Taylor ' s Pond. We put on t ur Hoods of Faireloth, and wrapped ourselves in cloaks to Shield ns from the Cold. As we emerged from the Hall into the Ayre, we feared that we were going to have a Rainey day, and possibly. Hale, for the wind was blowing a Gale. Init we were n ' t thwarted in our purpose. In order to reach the Pond, we had to go over a stretch of five ] Iiles in- cluding Groves, Woods, Boggs, Hills, Brooks, Branches and the Brown earth which was partially transformed in Green Jleadows. Having reached our desti- nation we sat do l on Stones, Logs (of) Wood, and Hammocks, which we had brought with us, to rest. Clara complained of having a Payne in her Temples which was the Bane of her existence, but she was soon feeling better. Elizabeth suggested having an experience meeting while we were resting, and she made a miitiou that Nellie start first to give her experience. Well, liegan Nellie, since it falls to my lot to take the initiative, I shall tell of an experience I had in London once. I was visiting at the Home of a Parson when one Knight(ly) Princess Louise, the daughter of King Edward(s) and a Ritsch Young Prince of Norman-dy came to the Parson to be married. I was asked to play the wedding Jlarch on the Orgain. The strains of Mendelssohn rang forth intermingled with the Pipers ' music, and the bride and groom entered the room. The groom was just in the act of pulling the license from his Vest pocket when the King and his Ward entered the room followed by the house of Burge.ss. a Goldman, a Painter, a Marshall, a Porter, a Hunter, and a Miller. The King Rohred at the misconduct of his daughter in mari-ying without his. consent, and he said he would Slaughter the Prince and make Princess Louise drink his Blood. The Prince and Princess with the aid of att ' ndants escaped out of a side door, and went to Holland, where they were united in matrimony. The Loving couple remained there a Long time in order to avoid the vengence of the angry King which was bottled iip for them. At length the Prince demanded Justice trom tlu ' King, and they were Able to return to London once Moore. Emma next gave her experience. I once went on a Camping jiarty. and we dctci ' inined to do a novel thing by becoming more famili:ii- vi1li 1lie political 120 and literary wi.i ' ld, Wp compared the works of ISryaiif. ( ' oo|M-r. and Scott. We told eaeh otlu-r Ihr Artlmriaii legends; „,„■read a paper on the invention of Pulton ' s steamboat; and Bnrke ' s speech on Conciliation and Lee ' s Farewell Ad- dress to his Soldiers were recited. Hamilton ' s financial measures were enumer- ated, and interesting stories of Nancy Hawkins were cited. All of the foregoing proved to be very beneficial to us, and we enjoyed the trip immensely. On our way, returning from the trip, we came upon an old man with Gray hair and beard and with Green Glass-es on. He said that in Young-er days he had been thrifty, but accidently he had Pierce-d a Rake in his eyes, and had not been Able to see since that time. He asked us for some Nichols to pay the Price of his subsistence, as he was receiving Dunns every day. We complied with his request, and then went to our homes. ' ' At this point the experience meeting came to an end for we were sum- moned to lunch. The menu consisted of Iluylers, Byrds, Chiek-Codd. Rice. Fudge, and Simmons. After luncheon we Row-ed on the Pond and fished for Bass. Some of the girls went to Plunt for Brown-eyed Susans and returned with a tremendous Jiunch of them. Just before leaving for School, we sung some old songs, such as Sweet Genevieve, Where the River Shannon Flows, and Dixie. When Ave returned to school the inclement March day had turned into a day like Somer(s), and the Byrcls were nearly bursting their little throats sing- ing Love songs. — JE.SSIE P. DUGGER.

(3) swiftness in execution of plan, (-i) free play for motor activity. Pupii s Aim — To devour her share (and anyone else ' s) of food lief ore detection. To become skilled in eluding Home Department. To become adept in feigning sleep. To be able to shrivel into nothingness when detected, and if necessary to entirely disappear. Appreciation thro ' participation. ilETHOD — (irouping of girls in unsuspected places during the day. Collecting of money necessary, selection of committee for food and its preparation. (Care must be taken here, as even the walls have ears on occasions like this.) Quiet on halls just after eleven ; a flashing of lights at twelve ; several heads poked out of doors, and turned in all directions, a slow procession creeping along toward the meeting-place; several hushed voices; a giggle and then a silence — a pushing and pulling down the dark stairs to the Auditorium (or any better place) — a rash for the basket of food. Silence! again broken by many clashing teeth upon the dainty repast. The slam of a door ! Silence ! A rush for one exit. The second floor reached ; a roar of suppressed laughter and the ■iourrying of many feet in all directions. If the food is devoured before detection, the efPect wanted is not that of a stampede, but the movement of the returning crowd slH)uld be like the ships homeward bound from a peaeefid voyage. Care should be taken that too many girls do not stay in one room either before or after the feast, as congestion often causes detection. Wk Wirginian If pursued, the offender of the peace should also be very careful a.s to the selection of her hiding place. If under the bed, sho must be sure that she can easily suspend the body by fastening the toes and fingers in the springs, for often that article of furniture is shifted from its original position. If. on the other hand, she should desire to hide in the closet, she should first be sure that all dust-pans are in the corner, as these articles make a great deal of clatter if suddenly trampled under foot. The hook found in the northwest corner of any -closet is an excellent one for suspending the body in a dilemma of this kind. An excellent hiding-place is found on the bookshelf among the numerous texts, and the safest haven of rest here will be found among the pages of Me Iurray ' s How to Study, a book which is foi ' nd on nearly every shelf, but seldom opened. If one should chance to gain such a safe po.sitim as behind the clock, she should be sure that the alarm is off. After waiting several hours in any of the above mentioned comfortable positions, the head may first be poked out. If no one is in sight the right arm may be extended, and if that is not perceived by any eagle-eyed member of the Home Department, the whole body may be suddenly protruded. Galloping lickety- split dowTi the hall, pause should not be made for friendly chat, but each girl should dash madly for her own room, leaping into bed. thus flattening her room- mate against the opposite wall. gEljc lITirginian ' ®ne ®a? at dbapel H, there ' s tliat horrid hell and I have n ' t half finished this room, and the bed ' s not made, and just look at that table ! Besides, I wanted to write that promissory note for Arithmetic, and now I ' ll have to do it in chapel, and Mr. Lear and Doctor Jarman, and Miss Tabb and Miss Mnnoz just watch me all the time. I believe I ' ll cut! If I do, there comes an old Chapel Absence note, but if I don ' t, Mrs. Harris will leave a note about this awful room. ' Jly — mother — told — me — To — take — this — one ! ' Chapel ! Well, here goes then! Off she goes, with her sweater on one arm. and hanging oif the other, Arithmetic and plan book in one hand, pencil in her mouth, and with her free hand trying to screw up her hair in the back. Oh, who is the man next to Doctor Jarman? Isn ' t he good looking? I bet he ' s going to talk about old corn clubs or something. Hi, there Ruth, have you done that Arithmetic ? I have n ' t either, I ' m going to now. Lean back a little farther. May, so Doctor Jarman can ' t see me. That ' s right! What on earth do you reckon Mr. Eason and Miss Tabb are laughing at ? I hope they are enjoying it, don ' t youf Let me see, ' I promise to pay to W. B. Davis ' ! — was it W. B. Davis, Mary?
