She knew that there was something
back of it. more than q missing van
ity case. She knew that Bunny had
something to conceal. and that in
her present mood. she would either
blurt it out, or would tell some eyre

And good Mrs. Prcntiss wanted to
save the pretty child from either
contingency.
So she said. quite casually, "You

And for the next half hour, Mrs.

And little Bunny, exhausted by the
unaccustomcd strain on her nerves
and emotions, tucked herself be.
