Instead of that, it was his hand he held out, and she put hers into it; and I was told that he was one of the leaders of society. There are very few gentlemen here whom I could positively tell from the waiters by their faces, and yet Harry says the fast set are not here." "Talk of the angels!" said Philip. "There come the Inglesides."
Otherwise, why shouldn't she?" "That was a nice party," said Miss Pennington, walking home with Leslie and Doctor John Hautayne, behind the Inglesides. "What made it so nice?" "You, very much," said Leslie, straightforwardly. "I didn't begin it," said Miss Elizabeth. "No; that wasn't it. It was a step out, somehow Out of the treadmill. I got tired of parties long ago, before I was old.
The Penningtons are just as proud as the stars and stripes themselves; and their glory is off the selfsame piece. They made very much of Dakie Thayne when he was here, in their quiet, retired way; and they had always been polite and cordial to the Inglesides.
Rosamond told her, very sweetly, that we were obliged, but that she was afraid it was quite too late; we had asked others; the Hobarts, and the Inglesides; one or two whom Adelaide did not know, Helen Josselyn, and Lucilla Waters; the parties would not interfere much, after all. Rosamond took up, as it were, a little sceptre of her own, from that moment.
He and Leslie and Cousin Delight, the Josselyns and the Inglesides, dear Miss Craydocke hurrying up to congratulate, Marmaduke Wharne looking on without a shade of cynicism in the gladness of his face, and Sin Saxon and Frank Scherman flitting up in the pauses of dance and promenade, well, after all, these were the central group that night.
"This was a party of 'nexts," said Leslie, "instead of a selfsame." "What a good time Miss Waters had quietly! You could see it in her face. A pretty face!" Miss Elizabeth spoke in a lower tone, for Lucilla was just before the Inglesides, with Helen and Pen Pennington. "She works too hard, though. I wish she came out more."
He and Leslie and Cousin Delight, the Josselyns and the Inglesides, dear Miss Craydocke, hurrying up to congratulate, Marmaduke Wharne looking on without a shade of cynicism in the gladness of his face, and Sin Saxon and Frank Scherman flitting up in the pauses of dance and promenade, well, after all, these were the central group that night.
But seeing her gentle, refined face, pale always with the life that had little frolic in it, she spoke right out to that, without deciding. "We want you at our Halloween party on Saturday. Will you come? You will have Helen and the Inglesides to come with, and perhaps Leslie." Rosamond, even while delivering her message to Mrs.

Frank Scherman's; and Frank and his wife and little Sinsie, the baby, "she isn't Original Sin, as I was," says her mother, came up to Z together, and stopped at the hotel. Martha Josselyn came from New York, and stayed, of course, with the Inglesides. Martha is a horrible thing, girls; how do you suppose I dare to put her in here as I do? She is a milliner. And this is how it happens.
