Azalea gave him a grateful look, and under the influence of his gentle kindliness, and mild raillery, she partly recovered her poise, and became almost like her own gay self again. Much later in the evening, Van Reypen drew her away from the rest and led her to a secluded corner of the great piazza, where he had her alone. "Now, my princess, my beloved, you are to tell me the answer to my plea.
"Partly," said Cameron, honestly; "I didn't see any other way to cut out Van Reypen, and it fitted in with my whole plan, so why not?" "It wasn't very nice of you." "All's fair in love and war," and Cameron laughed so gaily, that Patty concluded it was wiser to drop the subject. "I think it was awfully hard for poor Mr.
"Accept mine, then, for the next dance," said Philip Van Reypen, who overheard her words as he was passing. "No programmes to-night," returned Patty, smiling at him. "Ask me at dance time." As no dances could be engaged ahead, except verbally, Patty was besieged by partners for every dance.
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!
She is such an active young person, she gets tired, though she rarely admits it." And then Janet came in. "Mrs. Farnsworth," she said, "Miss Thorpe is not in her room. Perhaps she has gone for one of her early morning walks. But on her dressing-table I found these two notes." The maid handed Patty one of the letters and gave the other to Van Reypen.
Naughty Patty went dancing off with Van Reypen, and Ken looked after them, a little crestfallen. "But," he thought, "there's no use being angry or even annoyed at that butterfly of a girl. She doesn't mean anything anyway. Some day, she'll wake up and be serious, but now she's only a little bundle of frivolity."
Van Reypen had gone back to town for a few days, and Hal Ferris was also away on business, which was one reason why the girls had plunged so interestedly into their merry scheme. Thursday afternoon they started for Maple Bank in time to be at the post-office before four o'clock, and witness the arrival of Mr. Cameron.
And though Azalea's part in it was a small one, yet her work was so good that one or two reviews had mentioned it approvingly. Azalea had hoped that it would be possible to let Van Reypen continue in his mistaken impression that the girl on the screen was not herself, but some one who looked marvellously like her.
We're off, pronto!" "Where's Azalea?" Raymond Gale inquired, as, a few moments later, he had his merry party in his car, and took hold of the wheel. "She and Van Reypen went for a long walk," Farnsworth replied. "And the married Farringtons have gone back to town, so this is all our party for the moment." "All right; here we go, then." And the big car rolled down the driveway.
Van Reypen is nearly crazy. He says he doesn't think anything dreadful has happened to you, but he thinks you've had a breakdown and can't get home, and he insists on starting out to look for you. If you don't come right away, Patty dear, I can't keep him here much longer!" "All right, Adele, I'll start at once; truly, I will! Don't send for me. Somebody here will take me over.
