"Oh he'll not always be good-natured," she reassured her. Ernestine said then that she must go, and was standing at the door when Georgia burst forth: "Oh Ernestine I'm so glad I remembered. You really must go down to the Art Institute and see those pictures by that Norwegian artist I shouldn't dream of pronouncing his name. They go away this week, and it would be awful for you to miss them."

He was completely overpowered by her marvellous beauty, and she she was strangely impressed by the peculiar expression in Maxime's face.

I'll take good care of it and bring it back quite safe." Out marches Ernestine with the enemy's property.
