Kenerley, could you put me on the trail of Miss Fairfield?" "She went off in her runabout with Roger Farrington. "Then, do you know where Daisy Dow is? I MUST flirt with somebody!" "Try me," said pretty little Mrs. Kenerley, demurely. "I would, but I'm afraid Baby May would tell her father." "That's so; she might. Well, Daisy is at the telephone in the library; I hear her talking."
As the game progressed, one after another reached the Central Square, but as Jim Kenerley got all four of his "Counters" in first he was declared winner. Then all ran into the Central Square and soon discovered that "Parcheesi" gave them a good appetite for tea and cakes. Soon after five the Spring Beach guests went home, charmed with the new game, and promising to play it again some day.
The impressive looking personage beside her is an artist of high degree. But our other chaperon, ah, here she comes! Mrs. Kenerley." Adele Kenerley appeared then, looking very sweet and dainty in her fresh summer frock, and laughingly expressed her willingness to keep the house party in order and decorum. "It won't be so very easy, Mrs. Kenerley," said Roger.
Mona, will you send a slave to the general store to buy a lot of balls of twine?" "I'll attend to it," said Patty, "Mona's telephoning." When Patty returned from this errand, the others were all out on the west lawn. Farnsworth and Jim Kenerley were measuring off spaces, and a gardener was driving in pegs.
Kenerley helped her husband, and Patty assisted Cromer, with their feminine tastes and ideas, and Patty prevailed on the head gardener to cut his choicest flowers to decorate the game. "You see," Laurence said, "we COULD get this thing up beautifully, with canopies and flags of the four colours, and turkey red strips down these paths and all that. But this will do for a makeshift game."
Parsons insisted that Patty should give up the suite of rooms she occupied to some of the arriving guests, "when Patty came to me I gave her the best rooms, and she's going to stay in them. I know Mrs. Kenerley is bringing her baby and nurse, and that's why I gave her rooms on the third floor, that the baby might not disturb any one." "It's too high up for the dear child," argued Aunt Adelaide.
We burned up a lot of their firewood, though." "They won't mind that," said Mona, laughing. "They're awfully nice people. We'll come over and tell them the whole story when they get home." "And now, can't we go home?" said Patty. "I'm just about starved." "You poor dear child," cried Mrs. Kenerley. "You haven't had a bite of breakfast!
Jim Kenerley had gone to business, and Van Reypen and Hal Ferris were playing golf, so Patty had the place to herself; and by dint of slow but persevering pounding on the typewriter, she picked out the following missive: "Mr. Christopher Cameron: DEAR MR. CAMERON, A few weeks ago I heard you play the violin at a concert!
Jim Kenerley set off for the Galbraith bathing pavilion, easily discernible by its ornate red chimneys, and Mona turned to have a good old-fashioned chat with Adele. "Why, where is she?" she exclaimed, and Aunt Adelaide petulantly explained that Patty and Adele had gone to look after the baby. "Pretty poor manners, I call it, to leave me here all alone.
"I know they say that about women," said Hal Ferris; "but I believe it's a base libel. At least, I think they could be taught to accomplish such a feat. I believe I'll organise a class of young ladies and teach them how to hit the side of a barn." "But why hit it at all?" asked Daisy; "what has the poor barn done to be hit?" "Lots of people get hit when they don't deserve it," said Kenerley.
