In the balcony on the second floor Elsmere, clad airily in white night-drawers, leaned pensively over the railing. "To the party, you know. Go back to bed, Sonny." "But the party is to Peter and Perdita's, over there, " with a gesture across the street.
That poor, crazy, lovely girl will heal of her death-wound under your hands if under any!" "I will come!" she replied heartily; and there was something healthy and cheerful in her manner as they entered the sick-room; but her expression suddenly changed, and she asked pensively: "And supposing we restore the unhappy girl what good will she get by it?"
