"He has plead guilty!" she marvelled.

"What—better! How can that be?"
"Mrs. Postlewaite and Mrs. Porterfield witnessed the whole episode, and have voluntarily come to Stephanie's assistance—to deny Dolittle's story, and with an offer to testify against Porshinger."
"Oh, delightful!" Gladys cried. "The Queen P's actually witnessed the whole occurrence?"
"Yes—from the little balcony which, you know, runs along one side of the conservatory."
