"Yes, she is very faithful and very kind with the baby. But I believe Lizette has a secret."
"A secret?"
"Yes."
"Why do you think that?"
"Occasionally she looks at me in the most peculiar manner. I've caught her looking that way several times. Once I discovered her glaring at Frank's back in a way that was almost savage."
"How singular! What do you suppose it means?"
"Oh, I don't know, unless it may be that she envies Frank and me. It may be that some time she was disappointed by an unfaithful lover."
"Poor girl!" breathed Elsie. "If such is the case, I think I realize how she feels. But look, Inza, here come the boys now. They're coming over from the Hall."
The "boys" were Frank and Bart, who were approaching side by side, two splendid specimens of American manhood.
