Grandma handed it to him with the complaisant remark, "Mine and Georgia's sind fine; but Eliza's shows that she forgot herself and ist watching how the thing ist being made."
"We can take care of him. The Senator won't see him." Carolina caught the suggestion. "Tell Mr. Haines that Senator Langdon regrets that he cannot possibly receive him," she directed. "Carolina!" There was a ring of protest and pain in Hope Georgia's voice as she darted out of the door after the servant. "What's the matter with that girl?" asked Norton, trying to be calm. Carolina shook her head.
He handed the silver flask to Lionel, who found engraved on the side of it a merry and ingenious device, consisting of two briar-root pipes, crossed, and surrounded by a heraldic garter bearing the legend "Dulce est de-sip-ere in loco?"

That was the only difference, for yes, even the one little pearl that Nita had lost of the circle was missing here. Betty didn't hear Georgia's answer to her question. She turned back to the stage, which swayed sickeningly as she watched it.
