Patty would not give more than one dance to each, as she wanted to find out which ones she liked best. Mr. Perry brought up some of his acquaintances, too, and shortly Patty's programme showed an astonishing lot of hieroglyphics scribbled over Kit's initials. "Here are twelve dances you may have for your other friends," said Patty, to Mr. Cameron.

Patty's surprise was greater than Bill's had been, and she stood looking at Van Reypen with an absolutely incredulous gaze. "Azalea!" she said, again. "Yes, and I want you to help me. When I spoke to her, this afternoon, she she acted well, strange " "Oh, Phil, it was only because she was so surprised, as I am, as everybody will be! Imagine Elise!"

Bein' awaked before my nod was out, I felt evil an' chiveyish, and the tavern blokes, an' the nigger, an' the feller with the steeple shap, all clecked me at once." "Well, Joe, for Aunt Patty's sake, I'll take care of you. Go to the kitchen door, and I'll step through the house and tell our Aunt Hominy to give you supper and breakfast, and a place to get some sleep.

Dicky said, and her voice sounded older than Miss Patty's, and motherly. "But are you in love with him, Pat?" "Certainly," Miss Patty said indignantly. "Don't be silly, Dolly." At that instant Mr. Dick found the beans, and got up shouting that we'd have a meal fit for a prince if princes ate anything so every day as baked beans.

"I suppose we must accept Patty's word," said Beatrice, rather stiffly. "Still, it's a funny thing, and I wish it hadn't happened." "Very funny, certainly, for the one who started the pledge," said Vera Clifford, under her breath. "We shall find it out some day," said Enid. "I'm determined Patty's name shall be cleared. How any of you can be so idiotic as to connect her with it, I can't imagine.

The prose of life will assert itself, even to visionary eight-and-twenty and sweet eighteen in love with one another. On this occasion it came as a summons to supper. The summoner was a stout and jovial elderly gentleman, about whose somewhat commonplace British exterior there was, to Philip's mind, a reflection of the nimbus which glorified Patty to his mind, for he was Patty's father.

And then we'll be red, white and blue! Won't that be a graceful compliment to the French colours, as well as to our own dear flag!" "Long may it wave!" cried Rosamond, and then following Patty's lead, the girls sang the "Star Spangled Banner" with true American heartiness and patriotism.

Patty was a woman of some education, while Mistress Kent had been to France and Holland, and could both write and speak French. Patty's advantages had been rather limited, but she was quick and shrewd and made the most of them, though the feeling between her and Janice Kent rather amused Madam Wetherill.

"Two and five-eighths ounces of sugar," she said, "spun to a thread; add chopped nuts and the well-beaten whites of six eggs; brown with a salamander. Marian, I haven't any salamander!" The tragic tone of Patty's awful avowal was too much for Marian, and she dropped into a kitchen chair and went off into peals of laughter. "Patty," she cried, "you goose! What are you doing?

"Is it me you are asking such a question?" cried Patty, and turned her head away with absurd mock-modesty. "And so 'tis," said Dence; "ah, that is a different thing." Henry thought that was no reason for Patty's staying at home; she ought rather to go and hear the bans were cried all right.
