And to Captain Strawn's amazement Dundee threw open the door of Nita's big clothes closet, jerked on the light, and stooped to the floor. Almost immediately Special Investigator Dundee rose from his crouching position on the floor of Nita Selim's closet, and faced the chief of the Homicide Squad of Hamilton's police force.
Some caustic spirits asserted that they were sure budding wings were to be found on the shoulders of the two doctors, but we are warranted in asserting, on the best authority, that on a strict examination, nothing of the kind was discovered. Need we say that Emma and Nita were pattern wives? Of course not, therefore we won't say it.
Pangborn!" Just as mysteriously as he had appeared before, the man with the Chesterfieldian walk, and the big slouch hat, turned into the road. Where he had come from, nobody could imagine. "He has followed us!" breathed Nita. "Oh, dear me!" and she pressed her handkerchief to her eyes.
Kent came to see who was tearing the house down. Bob stopped first, though not on account of Nita's bric-a-brac or a possible visit from Mrs. Kent. "Nita," she demanded breathlessly, "did you say Betty thought of Roberta?" "Yes," Nita assented. "Nobody else on the committee knows her at all except Rachel, and she is as surprised as the rest of us." "Gee!" Bob's tone was deep with meaning.
"But let me go on.... Nita meant she would feel safer about Sprague if he was here in Hamilton, too. But the guy they double-crossed in New York, or worked the badger game on, or something like that, got on their trail. But it took him weeks to do it, and Sprague followed Nita's advice. He got here on Sunday April 27, and on Monday the 28th Nita banked the first $5,000! Don't you see it, boy?
"You see Babe's such a general favorite she's counted into half a dozen crowds; and Nita is really a Hill girl, only she never would go to class-meetings when she was a freshman and so she was never identified with that set. You will propose Eleanor, won't you?"
My dear, that did not succeed with the ugly duckling, even in early life." "Not after it had been among the swans? You vain Clara!" "I only lay claim to having seen the swans- not to having brought many specimens down here." "Such as that Nita, or Mr. Hughes?" "More like the other bird, certainly," said Clara, smiling; "but Mary, if you had but seen what that house was.
The makings are all on the sideboard, or I don't know my precious old Lydia even if her poor jaw does ache most horribly." Then Penny, as Nita, was on her way, pausing in the doorway to blow a kiss from her fingertips to the fatuously grinning but now quite pale Tracey Miles. She was out of sight for only an instant, then reappeared and very quietly retraced her steps to the bridge table.
Nita could carry on her studies in art, and made the plan agreeable to Janet, while old Miss Ray's eyes, which had begun to suffer from the copying, would have a rest, and Mrs. Brownlow had as much confidence in her as in any one Janet would endure. And all at once they sang, "Our island home Is far beyond the wave, we will no longer roam." Tennyson.
"Then bust," said Harry. "Soft, o'er the fountain, lingering falls the southern moon, Far o'er the mountain breaks the day too soon. In thy dark eyes' splendor, where the warm light loves to dwell, Weary looks yet tender, speak their fond farewell. 'Nita, Juanita! Ask thy soul if we should part, 'Nita, Juanita! Lean thou on my heart."
