Now, let's fly and get dressed. The Kenerleys will come soon and I'm crazy to see Adele's darling baby." Soon after, the girls going downstairs in their fresh, light summer frocks, were much pleased to see that Patty's ruse had succeeded. Aunt Adelaide was gracefully posed in a veranda chair, wearing the lavender gown, a collar of fine old lace, and her amethyst necklace.
"She isn't," said Bill, truthfully enough. "Well, where CAN she be? I've looked everywhere! Even in the pantries." "Hasn't one load already started?" "Yes, Aunt Adelaide and the Kenerleys have gone." "Didn't she go with them?" "Why, she MUST have done so. Well, good-bye, dear old Bill, come and see us again next summer, won't you?"
Please do not seek to find out who I am, but send just a line that I may know you do not scorn my praise. Address Miss Belle Harcourt, Maple Bank, Conn." The conspirators had decided upon the Maple Bank Post-office as being safer than Fern Falls, if Kit should by any chance hear that Patty had gone to the Kenerleys'.
It was the day of Farnsworth's departure. In fact, the whole house party was leaving. Roger had already gone, and the Kenerleys and Daisy Dow were to go next day, while Cromer, who had become attached to Spring Beach, had concluded to transfer himself to a hotel and stay the rest of the summer. "I hate to have you all go," said Mona, dolefully.
I didn't like her at first, but I think it was because I didn't understand her. But now we're awfully good chums." "And so you don't like the men?" "Nonsense! Of course I do. I adore them. But not as much as I do my girl friends. And sometimes I think I like my married friends best of all. Aren't the Kenerleys just dear?" "Then you'd like me better if I were married?" "Yes, indeed.
They were great friends of the Kenerleys, and indeed the whole house party was invited to dine at the Brewsters' the next night. Adele, too, had spoken about Bob Brewster's brother, and Patty realised they were friends and neighbours. In her present mood, Patty was simply aching for an escapade. And she thought it would be a pretty good practical joke if she should go to Mrs.
The tea hour at the Kenerleys' was always a pleasant affair, and in warm weather neighbours from the nearby country houses were apt to stroll over. On this occasion two or three came and Patty became acquainted with several young ladies. "You know what I told you," said Adele to Patty, after they had left. "We have plenty of girls around here, but not many men.
"Yes; she's nearly two years old, and she weighs exactly right, according to the best schedules. She's a perfect schedule baby in every way." Then the small piece of perfection was handed over to what was probably a schedule nurse, and general introductions followed. Patty liked the Kenerleys at once. They were breezy and pleasant mannered, and had an affable way of making themselves at home.
Patty went up there a few days before the first of May, and was welcomed by the Kenerleys with vigorous and jubilant greetings. "You dear!" exclaimed Adele, as after a rapturous hug she held Patty off to look at her. "I do believe you're prettier than ever!" "It's the happiness of coming up here," said Patty, smiling. "I'm so glad to come, Adele. The country in spring, and all that, you know."
Roger, Mona, and the Kenerleys were going for an ocean dip, and Laurence Cromer, who was a late riser, had not yet put in an appearance. Aunt Adelaide was with Patty, hearing all about the adventure, so Bill was obliged to accept Daisy's rather peremptory invitation.
