She dreaded the necessity of meeting Alden again, then made a wry face at her own foolishness. "Ridiculous," she said to herself, "preposterous, absurd!" No matter what her own nightmares might be, he slept soundly of course he did. How could healthy youth with a clear conscience do otherwise?
When the curtain fell on the last act I went behind the scenes, in company with a party of friends, and congratulated the star upon his excellent acting.

But that ain't sayin' as he'll say anything to you." The sheriff had guessed correctly. Mr. J. Jervice was singularly uncommunicative. "What's meanin' of 'Twin Elms' and 'Deep Springs'?" asked Chick-chick. Mr. Jervice shook his head at such foolishness. "You won't get any good out of it," insisted the inquisitive boy.
"We are peaceful folk who cross the seas. It is the part of a good warrior and viking to let such go unharmed." "Aye, so it is," answered Egil; "but, as it happens, we are looking for certain peaceful folk." "You will not harm us," said Elfric, who knew nought of our queen's foolishness. "It is but a party of church people who go to Normandy." "Put the holy man aside," said Egil to his men.
