"Ask de great massa."
"Where did you take it to?" demanded Jen, baffled in one direction and trying another.
"Ask de great massa," said Dido once more.
"The law will do that."
"The law, Major Jen?" said Mrs. Dallas, alarmed.
"Yes. I intend to have Dr. Etwald arrested."
"You dare not. Why?"
"On three charges. First, that he thieved the devil-stick; second, that he killed Maurice; and third, that he stole the lad's body."
Mrs. Dallas fell back on the sofa, with a white face. Dido laughed in a guttural fashion, and shrugged her shoulders contemptuously.
