"Pop!" said Grace, snapping her finger resignedly. "There go all our hopes of a good time, Amy.
I'm not sure that, putting a good many things together, I'm not beginning to make her out rather extraordinary." "You certainly will if you can," the Colonel resignedly remarked. Again his companion said nothing; then again she broke out. "In fact I do begin to feel it Maggie's the great comfort. I'm getting hold of it. It will be SHE who'll see us through.
