The Prohibition party was bestirring itself in Nebraska that summer, confident of voting the State dry the following year, which purpose it triumphantly accomplished. Enid's kitchen, full of the afternoon sun, glittered with new paint, spotless linoleum, and blue-and-white cooking vessels.
As he outlined this new drama the mind of the actress took hold of Enid's character, so opposite in energy to Lillian, and its great possibilities exalted her, filled her with admiration for the mind which could so quickly create a new character. "I see I shall never want for parts while you are my playwright," she said, when he had finished.
What she had to accuse herself of he could not possibly imagine; but he knew that there was something. By the dead woman's incoherent words, by Sabina Meldreth's violence, by Enid's stricken look of perplexity and pain, he knew that something lay hidden which ought to be brought to light. The winter's day was drawing to a close.
If I once owned that spot, I'd surely never let anybody else live there. Even Carrie remembers it. She often asks in her letters whether any one has bought the Trevor place yet." Carrie Royce, Enid's older sister, was a missionary in China. "Well," Bayliss admitted, "I didn't buy it for an investment, exactly. I paid all it was worth." Enid turned to Gladys, who was apparently not listening.
Enid's white cheeks had turned crimson, but more with surprise than with anger.

She won't let 'em kill their girl babies nor do such awful things like they always have, an' she won't let 'em pray to them stone iboles, cause they can't help 'em none. I 'spect Miss Enid'll do a heap of good, all the time." Behind her diplomatic monologues, however, Mahailey had her own ideas, and she was greatly scandalized at Enid's departure.

"Because of what has happened in the past," Fulton replied with emphasis. "I was about to tell you.
