Katrine shook her head. "I do not want to forget."

"No," said Josef, "you never have wanted to forget, and that has made it

hard for me. You have a strange creed of your own. But sometimes, when I

know beyond words that I have received a 'wireless' message from you

over the roof-tops, I begin to believe you dangerous, Katrine Dulany.

But your belief of 'mind-curing' people into being better has the seed

of truth in it which makes so many new creeds dangerous. You can make

yourself so great by fine thinking that the people who come in contact

with you understand and are uplifted."

"It is a thing more subtle, Greatness!" Katrine answered.

"It is not a thing more subtle, Obstinacy!" he returned, with a laugh.

"However, have your way! You are ordered, to Fontainebleau to-morrow.

Your voice is in rags, shall I say? You will stay for two weeks at the

house of Madame Lomard. You will lie in the open and breathe much. And

so, good-bye to you!"
