Her face was very eager and expectant, yet she hadn't at all that glorified expression that girls wear when they arrive for a Senior Prom at Princeton or New Haven; still, as there were no senior proms here, perhaps it didn't matter. She was wondering what he would look like, whether she'd possibly know him from his picture.
She looked down quickly and noted that he had not taken off his boots. She said in a changed voice: "You're going out?" "I promised a man to look in and see the show at The Happy with him to-night.

I'll never ask to make it again." "I should like," observed the Twin, "to see Patty entertaining a young man." "It's not such an unprecedented event," said Patty, with some warmth.
