Suddenly she shook herself up, when she was lapsing into a heap nearly as passive as that beside her; a suggestion darted across her brain; she detected in the little pocket of her dress a bottle of a strong essence and perfume, which Polly Musgrave had forced upon her the day she left. Joanna was quick and clear in following out a notion.
Crawfurd sent them at once; he would not listen to a single objection or obstacle, though Lilias and Conny were with Polly Musgrave, and it was inconvenient to spare the others on a moment's warning.
She began to laugh. "Oh, very well!" Patricia said aloud. "It is none of my affair that You elect to run Your world on an extremely humorous basis." She was at Matocton in good time for luncheon. Colonel Musgrave had a brief interview with his wife after luncheon. He began with quiet remonstrance, and ended with an unheard extenuation of his presumption.
But he made no further reference to the words engraved within it, and she was relieved by his forbearance. Nick, on his part, was visiting Daisy Musgrave every day, and sedulously imbibing her woman's wisdom.
And then, "Good-night, dear brother," Charteris added, sweetly, as he left the room. And Rudolph Musgrave could not quite believe in the actuality of what had just happened.
