Lazily they drifted and drove and walked through the wonderful hills, famed throughout the world, and lazily they wondered why the rest of the world lived. In the hills now were the Randalls, the Farnsworths, the Brackens, the Brewsters, the Van Wagenens, the Rolfes and a host of others.
She knew how she would be censured, should it be found out, and now Nurse Winnie and the two Farnsworths, as well as Elise, were all watching for anything mysterious that Azalea might do. She felt almost as if she were living over a slumbering volcano, that might at any moment blow her up.
"I don't know if Ike Walton is a book or a steamboat!" The speaker was Beatrice Gale, a neighbour of the Farnsworths. She was pretty and saucy looking, a graceful sprite, with a dimpled chin, and soft brown hair, worn in moppy bunches over her ears. She was called Betty by her friends, and Patty and Bill had already acquired that privilege.
And so, because of his praise and appreciation Azalea forgot her fears of censure from the Farnsworths and gave herself up to the delights of the moment. She would not have felt so comfortable had she heard Patty's remarks at sight of the picture. Patty and Mona had come to the theatre later than Azalea, and had been given seats on the other side of the large house.
"I tore it up." "Why?" "I always do, I never save envelopes. It was just a plain one." "Address typewritten?" "Yes." "All right, Zaly. Here's your letter," and he handed it back to her. The Farnsworths made no difference in their treatment of Azalea, after her escapade.
She cast a hopeless glance at Van Reypen, and though he smiled at her and started toward her she shook her head and waved him back. "On the trip East, I met the Bixbys, and as we at once arranged for my entrance into their studios, I was more than ever eager to put the matter through. "So I came. Oh, I hate to think how I imposed on the Farnsworths! They were so kind to me, right from the start.
One evening he called on the Farnsworths; the ladies were not at home to him. The next night he saddled Saladin and rode over to Fairmont; the Misses Harrison were also unable to see him, and the butler conveyed a deftly-worded intimation pointing to future invisibilities on the part of his mistresses.
"You see, Miss Adams came here because she knows Miss Frawley, we live together but Miss Frawley is out of town, and I persuaded Miss Adams to stay with me until her return. I can't make out the trouble, but I have learned the address of the Farnsworths and oh, well, I may as well tell you, Miss Adams talked in her sleep. She arrived here utterly exhausted, and on the verge of nervous prostration.
The Farnsworths, she knew, made allowance for her because she was a guest in their household, but these people seemed to expect her to be like themselves, and she suddenly realised she couldn't be as they were.
But I might as well be shut up in a convent, and I won't," and there was a resonant note of defiance in Miss Minot's voice as she concluded. "But what is your objection to the European trip, Sadie? I should think you would like it; I am sure you could have no better opportunity than to go with the Farnsworths," argued Katherine, who was more and more perplexed by her roommate's strange caprice.
