"And do you call it good proportion to buy a great deal too much to eat and then go around in botchy, home-made clothes to make up for it?" "No," said Patty, "I don't believe it is. What can I do? I want to do something, and I don't oh, papa, I don't want to give up those horses that you said you'd buy."
"Do," said Marian; "I'm sure it would be becoming to you, but perhaps hard on your gloves." "Well, there's one thing certain," said Patty: "I would really rather put my finger in my mouth than to crook out my little finger in that absurd way that so many people do.
But just then Cousin Elizabeth came in, and Patty rose to greet her. Miss Elizabeth Fleming was a large, handsome woman with black hair, and snapping black eyes, and such a winning smile that Patty liked her at once. "Well, Patty cousin, have you come at last?" she said. "I've been waiting for you several years, and I'm very glad to see you."
It was not accomplished without some few difficulties, and much giggling, but by eight o'clock, Patty and Mona surveyed a most acceptable looking chaperon, due to their own handiwork. Susan, or Mrs. Hastings, as they called her, looked the picture of a kindly, dignified matron. Her grey hair was done in a simple, becoming fashion, and ornamented with a spray of silver tinsel leaves.
It is our sister's name, and a scriptural one also," she added, with a smile. "Oh, I should never think of anything but Patty. Surely you could select a better name than that. Ruth is much prettier what a pity you do not like it! I admire it greatly; but my taste is not much. Well, please yourself, only I am sorry you cannot fancy Ruth." "How would you like Lucy?
Alas! little Patty would never more be smuggled through it and over the wall to Marlboro' Street. Mr. Swain recalled my thoughts. "Captain Clapsaddle has asked me to look into this matter of the will, Richard," he began abruptly. "Altho' we thought never to see you again, we have hoped against hope. I fear you have little chance for your property, my lad."
He's seen us, and he's crossing the street." "Well, Patty," said Mr. Pearson, "what are you and Horace doing here?" "We've come shopping," explained Horace. "Patty's going to hunt bargains to send home. She wants to buy eight Christmas presents for three shillings. Isn't she plucky?" he added, with a meaning glance at his father. "You had better take her to Archer's stores," said Mr.
I said we weren't on the lawn at all. I told her she was talking nonsense." "Couldn't you have got out of it by any other way?" asked Patty. "It doesn't seem right to tell lies." "I could with any one but Pen; but Pen can see through a brick wall. I had to tell it, and very plump, too, where Pen was in the question." "Well, it makes me feel horrid," said Patty. "I am sorry we went.
"Oh, she'll have to," said Patty, lightly. "If you can travel, I guess she can. Now, Nan, don't bother about her. You've enough to do to think of yourself and try to keep cool. I'm glad Louise is going with you. She's a good nurse, and you must let her take care of you." Louise was the lady's maid who looked after the welfare of both Nan and Patty.
'Tis not over the wall any more, Miss Patty, with our flowered India silk. But I vow I love you best with your etui." Patty, too, was carried off, for you may be sure that Will Fotheringay and Singleton were standing on one foot and then the other, waiting for Mr. Carvel to have done.
