"I don't look queer, go on," the other girl whispered, bending her face down so that her lips touched Kara's hair and her face could not be seen. "There isn't anything else to tell, except that I am to go to New York City to be treated and to spend the winter and that Mr. Fenton and Mr. Hammond and Dr. McClain and several other people have made the arrangements and will pay all my expenses."
A little hood hung at the back and a cord was knotted about the waist. Kara might wear it for a number of occasions. She could receive guests in it, as it would doubtless be difficult for her at all times to be formally dressed. Kara's voice shook a little as she touched the silk with one hand and caught Miss Victoria's hand with the other. "Everybody is being too good to me.
Kara's eyes followed her graceful figure until she was out of view, then: "I want to see you, Kara," said John Lexman, "if you will give me five minutes." "You can have five hours, if you like," said the other, easily. They went into the study together; the maid brought the coffee and liqueur, and placed them on a little table near the fire and disappeared.
I know they will do everything that is possible at the Gray House; I know too that Mr. Fenton has offered to pay Kara's expenses should the doctors decide she had best go to a sanitarium. Yet will either of these places alter Kara's state of mind? "Since Tory told us of her talk with Kara I have scarcely been able to think of anything else.
"Lonely, miss!" cried the maid. "I fairly get the creeps sitting here hour after hour. It's that door that gives me the hump."

I know he goes in sometimes because I tried a dodge that my brother who's a policeman taught me.
The country is wild and mainly uncultivated. We had to pass through swamps and skirt huge lagoons as we mounted higher and higher from terrace to terrace and came to the roads which crossed the mountains.

Here for the first time Kara's voice trembled. "Who says one cannot have beautiful things happen to one even if lost letters do prove disappointing?" She put out her hand and caught hold of her companion's. "Tory, you don't think I have failed to appreciate your loveliness to me this summer. All the time when I have appeared most ungrateful I have cared most.
He asked himself whether he should follow Kara's advice. In any circumstance it was not a pleasant thing to meet a ferocious little man who had threatened his life, and to meet him unarmed was tempting Providence.

"Salvolio did not imitate the austerity of his master and in Kara's absence was in the habit of having little orgies of his own.
She had liked Kara's fashion of never referring to the difference between her own life and that of her more fortunate friends. When it was natural to mention the orphan asylum, where she made her home, always she spoke of the place with affection, never criticism or resentment. Knowing nothing of her parentage, Miss Victoria concluded for reasons of her own that Kara had come of well-bred people.
