And, Graham, tell Buckham to do up a dozen dinner-napkins in paper. Audrey Valentine has telephoned that she has just got in, and finds she hasn't enough. If that isn't like her!" Months afterward, Clayton Spencer, looking back, realized that the night of the dinner at the Chris Valentines marked the beginning of a new epoch for him.
Valentine's Day was a fine, crisp winter day, with sunshine dancing on the snow, and blue sky beaming down on the bare branches of the trees. The fun began at breakfast-time, when everybody found valentines at their plates, for as Midge and Delight agreed, they had made so many, and they must use them up somehow. So Miss Hart and Mrs.

"What ever did you send them for anyways?" "Valentines?" she exclaimed. "What are you talkin' about?" "Why, them Valentines you sent everybody. Most folks is awful mad about them." The two young men on the front seat were sitting side by side gazing over the blue-grey landscape with faces of rapt innocence.
P. for Peter, P. for Phyllis." "I put F. for Phyllis," said the child of that name. "That's how it sounds. The swallows wouldn't spell Phyllis with a P., I'm certain-sure."

And late that same evening, when Warren's arms were about her, she told him her great news. There were to be little feet running about Home Dunes, and a little voice echoing through the new home.
Delight had a headache, brought on probably by the excitement of the day before, and she didn't feel like playing princess. There was no use finishing the valentines, for Doctor Mendel said they must not send them to anybody. Miss Hart was in her own room, and the morning dragged. Marjorie almost wished she could go to school, and she certainly wished she could go out to play.

Miss Brown watched the buzzing groups of pupils. "There's just fifteen minutes left before dismissal," she said considerately. "You may spend it in looking at each other's valentines if you wish."

The Gunpowder Plot might have been revealed openhandedly, and the anonymous letter even in that case nearly missed its aim. The only anonymous communications which can be tolerated are the harmless missives called valentines.
The paper that covered the heart was put on in folds, like tucks upside down, and in the folds were thrust many envelopes, that doubtless contained valentines.
