"There is my explanation," said he, coolly. Doris Leighton's lashes drooped till her eyes were a narrow line of inscrutable blue. "Dido," cried Mrs. Dallas, in a trembling voice, "is this true?" "I believe if you tried something that was more simple, you'd do better," said Elinor sympathetically. "You've taken such a tremendously elusive sort of thing in this. Why not try something that either Judith or I could pose for? That would help a lot, you know.".
