Perhaps it was the reaction after the great excitement. Or it may have been a rankling sense of injustice at the small glory his brave deeds on Judy's behalf evoked from the others. They did not seem to attach any importance to them, and, indeed, laughed every time he alluded to them or drew public attention to his scars.
"You're such a dear." At which praise the rosy maiden got rosier than ever, and shook her loosened hair over her happy eyes. The firelight flickered on the beautiful dark face on the cushions, and on the fair little one that rested against Judy's dress. "We are such friends, aren't we, Judy?" whispered Anne, as she reached up and curled her plump hand into Judy's slender fingers.
"How shall we get in?" queried Dudley. "Climb in at the window. She told old Principle she would be out all day at Farmer Stubbs. We'll go and do him good." "How?" "We'll wash his face, and make him a cup of tea, and sweep his room, and give him his medicine," responded Roy, readily; "that's what nurse does when she goes to visit any of Aunt Judy's sick people."
One morning Adele Windsor's name was posted on the bulletin board as winner of the prize, and not long afterward they learned that it was Judy's scheme, unfolded on the opening night of college, that Adele had appropriated, no doubt with Judy's full consent.
Now you must promise to have dinner with grandmother and me at the hotel and you can come up to my room and rest."

A surly looking young fellow, ostentatiously booted and spurred, and carrying a heavy rawhide riding-whip in his swinging hand, was approaching them.
"A chain, a charm, then," urged the old woman, whose eagle eyes had caught the outline of something that glittered beneath the thin lace collar of Judy's gown. "I have nothing." "There, there, what have you there?" and the yellow finger tapped Judy's throat.
Martha, the cook, kept it in that condition generally on account of his own sinful propensities for making away with her tarts and cakes; it was only by skilful stratagem he could ever get in, as he remembered dejectedly. But Judy's hunger! Nothing to eat since yesterday morning!
Pierce had had so much to say of this delightful young lady that his uncle was determined to make her acquaintance and find out if she were the kind of girl to be a help to his beloved nephew, or if there could be a chance of Judy's being the type that he had unfortunately come in contact with in his youth, causing so much disaster to his happiness.
With this blast delivered, Judith set the salad-bowl carefully down on the table and left the room, her head high and her mane tossing. Patricia, instead of being amused this time, looked annoyed.
