"Hello!" cried Mead, "Miss Perry gone already?" "She was very tired," said Patty veraciously, but evasively. "Awfully jolly girl, isn't she Mead?" said Hawley, with the expansiveness of the newly-wed. "Handsome, too?" "Perhaps she is, but so long as she dresses like a veiled prophet it is hard to tell."
