The prospect of describing six more beauteous beings and their toilettes was more than she could contemplate. "You've had your amount," she cried; "mine only took five pages, and I've done five for you." And despite Lynn's wild entreaties, she wrote "The End" at this point of the story, and shook Muffie and informed her it was her turn. Muffie yawned. "'Oncepon a time'," she said.
"Are you sure he did it?" asked Kennedy, more, I felt, for its moral effect on her than through any doubt in his own mind. "Not sure. But then the wall safe shows no marks, and the replica is gone."
