Well, I hope the stuff will make him very sick indeed!" exclaimed Katherine, in a tone of disgust. "I wonder who it was? It couldn't possibly have been Jean," said Miles, "for he was sitting on the counter and banging his heels. When I went into the kitchen I heard him thumping away all the time I was there, and he was sitting and banging when I came back."
