"Then it must have been Battersea!" said Maurice, decidedly. "He is a friend of Dido's, and a pensioner of Isabella's. I'll find out if he stole the stick for the negress or for Dr. Etwald." "Exactly. Isabella Dallas, and none other, killed your boy Maurice." "Both and more too," laughed Patricia. "We've got a surprise for you, Norn, but we won't tell till we've had lunch; will we, Ju?" "But," added Jen, raising his head, "as until that explanation we are enemies--although not openly so--I shall require you to leave my house.".
