Carefully ignoring Mr. Ziegler, Audrey remarked to Tommy with a light-heartedness which she did not feel: "Well, what did you think of Jane this afternoon?" "Jane?" "Jane Foley.

A sudden exclamation broke from his lips. He stood for a moment as though turned to stone. Before him, on the top of the little pile of white cambric, was a small black box!
"We'll give her something together," Hal exclaimed triumphantly, knowing that, as usual, she had won the day.
