This made Patty like her all the better, for it proved she had enthusiasm enough when a subject appealed to her. But when they were joined by the crowd of gay young people begging them to come and play games, Florrie seemed to shut up into herself again, and assumed once more her air of cold indifference. But if Florrie was lacking in enthusiasm, it was not so with another of Patty's friends.
Flirty Florrie rose and stood gazing at Elaine, apparently very much embarrassed, even after Jennings had gone. There was a short pause. The woman was the first to speak. "It IS embarrassing," she said finally, "but, Miss Dodge, I have come to you to beg for my love." Elaine looked at her non-plussed. "Yes," she continued, "you do not know it, but Craig Kennedy is infatuated with you."
She and Florrie spent many absorbing mornings in the shops, Carlisle for the most part "just looking," under the coldly disapproving eyes of the shop-ladies. But her intentions were serious at bottom, in view of three hundred dollars which papa had privately given her, at the last moment, companied by a defiant wink. Both were dirt cheap, Florrie agreed.
I will go up, dressed like you, and catch them unawares, one by one." "But, Billie, they will kill you, or hurt you. Don't do it, Billie." "Now, here, Florrie girl," he answered firmly. "I'll go into the wardroom, and you toss in the materials for my disguise. Then you go to bed. If I get into trouble they will return the clothes." "But suppose they kill you!

The Van Ness party, the old Ma'amselle, Florrie Nash, Bert Chester, and Mr. Pauvret were all going in the special train to Paris, as the Farringtons were. Patty thought this meant they could all travel together, but to her surprise she found the French trains very different from those on American railroads.

In these wonderful experiments, which extended over several years, Miss Florrie Cook, who was a young lady of from 16 to 18 years of age, was repeatedly confined in Prof.

"Are they secured safely, Billie?" she asked, tremulously. "Got them all in the forecastle, in double irons, with plenty of hard-tack and water. We needn't bother about them any more.
A month before, he had thought strongly of his child friend Florrie, and, with nothing to do one afternoon, he had written her a letter a jolly, rollicking letter, filled with masculine colloquialisms and friendly endearments, such as he had bestowed upon her at home; and it was the dignity of her reply received that day with the contents of the letter, which was the "something on his mind" that kept him aboard.
