Brownie, darling, you must love me. I can't bear it if you don't!" Azalea looked mystified, then amazed, and then her face lighted up with a sudden radiant happiness, she seemed glorified, exalted. Van Reypen caught her in his arms. "You do love me, you witch! you beauty! Azalea, you look transfigured! You do love me, tell me so!" Then her face changed.
"Where have you been?" cried Elise, but Azalea ignored the question and quickly spoke to some one else. Mona and Roger Farrington were there, and Philip Van Reypen and Chick Channing. This quartette had motored up from New York to dine, and Patty had already persuaded them to say they would stay over night. "I'm crazy for a house party," she said, "haven't had one for 'most a week! Oh, yes.
For the note read: DEAR PATTY: I'm a wicked girl, and I can't impose on you any longer. I am going away. Don't try to find me, just forget me. I love you all, but I have no right to be among good people. "What's in yours, Phil?" Farnsworth asked, and Van Reypen handed it to him without a word. MY DEAR MR. VAN REYPEN: I can't go away without leaving a word for you.
However, under your angelic influence, I may behave well enough to stay till the afternoon train." "You're a beautiful behaver, Mr. Van Reypen," declared his hostess, "and I shan't let naughty Patty cast aspersions." "What are those things, Adele?" asked Patty; "I'm sure I never cast anything like that at anybody, and I wouldn't hit him if I did. I can't hit the side of a barn."
"Have you much left to learn?" asked Elise, looking at the piquant face that seemed to show its owner decidedly conversant with the ways of the world, at least, her own part in it. "Oh, indeed, yes! I only know how to smile and dance. I'm going to learn flirting, coquetry and getting engaged!" "You're ambitious, little one," remarked Van Reypen. "Have you chosen your instructors?"
I wish I could thank you more publicly than this." "Thank you, Governor," said Average' Jones modestly. "But I owed the public something, you know, on account of, my uncle, the late Mayor Van Reypen." Governor Arthur nodded. "The debt is paid," he said. "That knowledge must be your reward; that and the consciousness of having worked out a remarkable and original problem."
Van Reypen has asked me to go to New York with him to-morrow afternoon, to a matinée. May I?" "Certainly, my child. And as Mona and I are going down in the early afternoon, we'll all go together in the big car." Then all went to the hall for a dance. The large reception hall was admirably adapted for this purpose, and the strains of a fine phonograph soon set all feet in motion.
Philip Van Reypen, the high-born, aristocratic Philip, couldn't be seriously interested in a crude, ignorant Western girl! "Thank you, Phil," she said, resolving to accept his words as a sign of friendship, "you're awfully good to me, and your friendship counts. I begin to think friendship is the one thing in life that does count.
Van Reypen came forward, and with a gay little impromptu speech, put a floral crown on Patty's head, and Ferris presented her with the long gilded sceptre. Patty made a little speech of humorous greeting, and the coronation was declared over, and Patty was Queen of the May. The guests came thronging around to talk to the pretty queen, and then they all went to the tea-tent.
Of course, I'm mortally jealous, for he was my friend first, and you stole him away from me. But I'll forgive you if you'll let up on this foolish subject and talk about something interesting." "I will, Patty, if you'll tell me one thing. Don't you like Mr. Van Reypen very much?" "Phil Van Reypen? Of course I do! I adore him, I worship the ground he walks on!
