I did not even tell Hella everything. September 25th. We had the viva voce composition and Frau Doktor said, very good, what is your name? Grete Lainer I said and she said: And is that your chum next you? Now she must tell us how she spent her holidays. Hella did hers very well too and Frau Doktor said again, very good. Then the bell rang. In the long interval Frau Doktor played dodge with us.
"That is," said Mr. Oakhurst, sotto voce to the Innocent, "if you're willing to board us. If you ain't and perhaps you'd better not you can wait till Uncle Billy gets back with provisions."

"Does he know Richard is coming up to-night?" asked Sophie, sotto voce, but with affected carelessness. "I do not know; oh yes, he does, I mentioned it to him at dinner-time, I remember now." "Well, I'll see if I can do anything for him; now go, they're waiting for you. Have a pleasant time." After they were gone, Sophie went into the library, but she did not stay very long.

Then came the reaction, when the dancing was over, and we were getting ready to go home. It was a good deal after ten o'clock, and the night was cold. There were not quite shawls enough, no preparations having been made for staying out after dark. She was quite impatient and peremptory, though sotto voce. The children needed both her extra ones, and there was an end of it.
"I know I don't have to do it," said the star, catching the surprised look in Barnes's eye and pausing to explain, sotto voce, "but I hadn't the heart to refuse. They're eating it up, my dear fellow. Up to this instant they've been sitting with their mouths wide open while I hurled it, word after word, into their very vitals.
