We know that Polly curtly cancelled her luncheon engagement with Nita and the rest of you, and went into town with Ralph, after making sure that Clive would join them. I saw young Hammond myself for an instant, without knowing who he was, and I remember now thinking that he looked far too ill to eat. I was lunching at the Stuart House myself when they came into the dining room, you know."
He listened with the face of a sphinx. Presently she drew back into the shadows of the box. She had thrown herself into a chair, and her face was hidden. "La Belle Nita has made a mistake," Maggie observed. "His Serene Highness evidently had no wish to be disturbed." Karschoff's eyes rested upon the figure in green silk, and they were filled with an unwilling admiration.
A fearful load was lifted from her spare little shoulders when the Teutonic sailed. Even Nita had worried and had seen her sister's worry. Then no sooner did "Gov" reach Europe than he began writing impassioned letters by every steamer, but that wasn't so bad.
You can't deny you were terribly in love with her, Ralph. Lois told us told me last night that Nita had told her in strictest confidence that she had promised to marry you, just Thursday night " The boy's face was very pale as he dropped his hands from Penny's shoulders, but Dundee, from behind the portieres, was not troubling to spy for the moment.
"Well, 'my dear Watson'," he addressed his caged parrot finally. "What do you say?... Who killed Nita Selim?" The parrot stirred on his perch, thrust out his hooked beak to nip his master's prodding finger, then disdainfully turned his back. "I don't blame you, Cap'n," Dundee chuckled.

Probably Lois Dunlap had advanced her the two hundred dollars as first payment for her prospective work in organizing a Little Theater movement in Hamilton. Turning rapidly through stubs, Dundee stopped twice, whistling softly with amazement each time. For on April 28th, and again on May 5th, Nita Selim had deposited $5,000! Where had she got the money?
Miss Ferris says it's the best house-play she's seen." "I know. Isn't it just splendid?" sighed Betty rapturously. "And isn't the Princess a dear? But Madeline, you haven't any idea how my feet ache." "No," said Betty, "I haven't found it, and now I'm almost sure I shan't, because Nita's lost hers." "What has Nita lost?" asked Madeline from her nest of pillows.
It is the radiations of light which they throw off; it is their luminosity their transparency. It is, indeed, true, that the power which we see exemplified in the rulers of the earth has a corresponding meaning in a spiritual sense; as, in fact, have all things which we cognize with our physical eyes. The Hindus tell us that all things are either the "nita" or the "ita" message.
Sanderson asked reasonably. "Do you think he'd tell?" Dundee retorted. "The old boy's no fool. Even if he didn't kill Nita himself and hide the gun there, my question would throw him into a panic of fear lest one of his best friends had done just that.... No, I'll find it myself, if it's all right with you!"
Let's play bridge!" for Karen was staring at her cards helplessly. "Sorry, Karen! I realize a post mortem is usually held after the playing of a hand not before." "I I guess I'd better get my trumps out," Karen now almost a genuine actress, too breathed tremulously. "I do wish Nita were playing this hand. I know I'll muff it somehow " "Good kid!"
