She asked me to say to you that she had marked the article she wished you to read." "Please thank your mother for me," returned Miss Archer, her face relaxing, "and thank you for bringing it. To return to why I sent for you, you understand the game of basketball, do you not?" "Yes," answered Marjorie, simply. "You have played on a team?" inquired the principal. "Yes."
"To put you into a good frame of mind for that interview, might be the idea," Mihul said. "I don't know. Three days here should relax almost anyone. Get in a little shooting. Loaf around the pools. Go for rides. Things like that. The only trouble is I'm afraid you're nourishing dark notions which are likely to take all the enjoyment out of it. Not to mention the possibility of really relaxing."

They labour and prosper, and their prosperity invites imitation.

After dinner the party returned to the veranda, which was warm and well lighted.
