"Your mother," he muttered, hardly believing the evidence of his own senses. "Your mother stole the devil-stick?" "We'll like it, all right enough, if you have a hand in it," Patricia assured him heartily. "I think I'll wait till they're all in," she replied softly. "It will be better for us all to be able to say truthfully that we had no idea of what the others were like till after ours were in. Don't you think so?".

If you remember there was only one candle in the room, which was placed on the table, some little distance away. I examined the window and found it closed."
