"Yes, Philip," and Patty arose and walked away with Van Reypen, leaving Kit Cameron still on his knee. "Well, I'll be hammered!" that gentleman remarked, as he rose slowly and deliberately dusted off his knee with his handkerchief; "that girl is a wonder! She's full of the dickens, but she's as sweet as a peach. I always did like blondes best, whether she believes it or not.
Patty is growing up a coquette, but it is only because she is beset by flattery; and, too, she IS full of mischief. She can't help teasing her suitors, as she calls them." "She can tease me all she likes," said Van Reypen, somewhat seriously, and Kenneth answered simply, "Me, too." Next morning, Patty told Nan all about Mr. Cameron, and that gay little lady was greatly interested in the story.
"I would be sweet-tempered, Patty, if you didn't tease the very life out of me!" "Now, Philip, you wouldn't be much good if you couldn't stand a little teasing." "Go ahead, then; tease me all you like," and Van Reypen looked the personification of dogged endurance. "I will!" said Patty, emphatically, and then some others joined them, and the group began to laugh and talk together.
"You pass. Now for to see if you're thoroughly grounded in the common branches. Grammar, first. What's a noun, and give examples." "A noun's a name. As, candy, heart, slipper." "What's a compound noun?" "Two names, as chicken salad, Philip Van Reypen, moonlight." "What's a mood?" "Something you fall into, as a ditch, or love." "What is an article?" "A piece of fancy work for sale at a fair."
As it turns out, the lady of my quest is Miss Fairfield." "Good gracious, are you, Patty?" said Marie, impetuously; "are you Kit's girl?" "Yes; I am," and Patty folded her hands with a ridiculous air of complacency. "Patty!" growled Van Reypen, who was sitting behind her. "Yes, Philip," said Patty, sweetly, turning partly round. "Behave yourself!"
Van Reypen would be greatly pleased if Patty would smile on the suit of her favourite and beloved nephew. But Patty's smiles were uncertain. Sometimes it would suit her caprice to smile on Philip, and again she would positively snub him to such an extent that the young man was disgruntled for days at a time. "But," as Patty remarked to herself, "if I'm nice to him, he takes too much for granted.
"I came last week," said Daisy Dow, "and I'm awfully glad to see you again, Patty." And then Patty was whisked off to her room, and not until tea-time did she see the rest of the house party. Then her host, Jim Kenerley, appeared, and Hal Ferris, Adele's brother, and, greatly to Patty's surprise, Philip Van Reypen.
Let's both get wisteria-coloured frocks, and " Elise's plans were interrupted by the appearance of Farnsworth and two men who had arrived for the house party. These were our old friends, Philip Van Reypen and Chickering Channing.
Adrian Van Reypen Egerton had, as Waldemar once put it, " one into the mayor's chair with a good name and come out with a block of ice stock." In a will whose cynical humor was the topic of its day, Mr. Egerton jeered posthumously at the public which he had despoiled, and promised restitution, of a sort, through his heir.
She went slowly at first, enjoying the beautiful country with its serene air of Sunday afternoon calm. The trend of her thoughts was not a question of whether or not she should accept Van Reypen; but more a dreamy recollection and living over the scene at the Falls.
