"Mine's Keeves," said Mavis, thinking she may as well be agreeable to those she had to live with. She then went to her boxes and saw that the odd-looking servant had uncorded them.

"You needn't be jealous of me; let's have a look." The servant urged Mavis to stand by the flaring gas, where she looked her up and down, Mavis thought maliciously. "H'm! Wonder how long it'll be before I have to pray for you?" "Eh!" "Same as I has to for the others." |
