The flickering candles made grotesque shadows on the walls; the house, after that noise, was as still as a tomb, and despite the comforting presence of their valiant chaperone, the girls kept close together for protection. "D-do you suppose it was only a s-suitcase?" stammered Violet. "Don't whisper in my ear you tickle," hissed Billie, and again they laughed hysterically.
Do you think we could slip into the garden? I have something I want to tell you." Being on the end of the semi-circle, they crept behind one of the sliding partitions and rose stiffly to their feet. Two steps more and they were in the garden, now flooded with moonlight. "It's romantic," observed Billie, "but what will Cousin Helen say? She's a very strict chaperone."

"Then I cannot come either, and" he paused a moment, to add with decision "I object to your going unchaperoned." "Do you mean that you wish me to give up the box?" "You know what I mean." Hal was thoughtful a moment, and then remarked with sudden glee: "I know what I'll do. I'll take the Three Graces, and persuade Quin's aunt to come as chaperone.
