that it was time to stop trifling and to explain. "If you must see

holding them at arm's-length suspended from a string that the wearer
had fastened to them to keep the glasses over his eyes.
Harriet and Miss Elting uttered an "Oh!"

thoughtfully over the goggles, which she had taken from Jane's hand.
