116 THUAT GIRL OF JOHNSON'’S. CHAPTER XXVI. DOLORES’ REPLY. Dolores listened quietly, with no sign of impatience or interest ; she stood erect and silent, her hands still on the book young Green had given her, her eyes resting calmly on Mrs. Allen’s face.

Young Green’s eyes had not left her face during his con- versation with Dr. Dunwiddie, or rather during the doc- tor’s conversation with him; his blue eyes were dark with intensity of thought, and his mouth was almost woe. in its tenderness. Mrs. Allen bit her lip with vexation; she understood the girl no more than did Lemuel Johnson.
