Well, that's all. I thought I'd tell you, for it isn't right that you shouldn't know. And there's no mistake. There's only one Azalea Thorpe." "Was her name on the programme?" "No; she didn't have a star part, not even a named part. She was one of a crowd, cowboys, ranch girls, and a general horde of 'woollies. Don't accuse her of it, Patty; get around her and see what she says."
The coolness of the afternoon shadow and the abundant dewy spray make a fine climate for the plateau ferns and grasses, and for the beautiful azalea bushes that grow here in profusion and bloom in September, long after the warmer thickets down on the floor of the Valley have withered and gone to seed.
The world was golden with jasmine, and crimson with azalea; down in the darker places gleamed the misty glory of the dogwood; new cotton shook, glimmered, and blossomed in the black fields, and over all the soft Southern sun poured its awakening light of life. There was happiness and hope again in the cabins, and hope and if not happiness, ambition, in the mansions.
So accustomed was Fleurette to being tossed about, and so familiar to her was the frolicking with Azalea that she made no objections and was a most delightful addition to the picture. But something happened to the film, and the director was most anxious to take the scene over again. Azalea, however, positively refused to take Fleurette again to the studio.
"Three of those girls are married and living in town." "Yes, I know," said I. "At least I know Camellia and Althea are. Who else? Azalea lives across the river, doesn't she?" "Yes. You haven't heard of the latest matrimonial alliance, then?" The Skeptic chuckled. Hepatica looked at him, and he looked at her, and then they both looked at me.
It was too much for Farnsworth. He appreciated Patty's patience and endurance, but he knew just how she felt. And it was his cousin who was acting like a wild Indian at their pretty home table! "Azalea," he said, Norah had left the dining-room, "who brought you up? Your mother died some years ago. With whom have you lived since?" "Why, oh, only with Papa."
Not far from these azalea and rose gardens, Rubus nutkanus covers the ground with broad, soft, velvety leaves, and pure-white flowers as large as those of its neighbor and relative, the rose, and much finer in texture, followed at the end of summer by soft red berries good for everybody. This is the commonest and the most beautiful of the whole blessed, flowery, fruity Rubus genus.
So the pretty little house was sold, and plans were made to remove it to the purchaser's estate. So it went. Azalea had many offers for her wigwam, if she would sell it after the fair. She agreed to let it go to the highest bidder, and finally received a fine price. Archery was one of the pretty diversions, and at this Azalea excelled.
The big room was very dimly lighted by two standard electric lamps, one near the fireplace, the other in a distant corner where a grand piano stood behind a huge china bowl in which a pink azalea was blooming. There was a low armchair near the fire by a sofa. He sat down in it, and picked up a book which lay on a table close beside it. What did she read this book of wisdom?
Half an hour later, a very different looking Azalea went down the front staircase and out onto the porch. She wore a becoming dress of flowered organdie, with knots of bright velvet, and her pretty hair was carefully arranged. Smiling and happy-looking, she met the guests and greeted them with a graceful cordiality.
