You've three Maynard friends, to begin with; and all the boys and girls are your friends, only you don't know them yet. I'll tell you what to do. You send valentines to all the Rockwell children, I mean all our crowd, and they'll just love 'em. Will you?" "Why, yes, if you think I can when I don't know them very well. I can easily make enough for them and my New York set too."
"O, I suppose there were doll's parties, first valentines, and rides with Albert in his buggy, when you clung very tightly to the slight arm of the carriage and smiled very bravely up in his face. You must have been pretty then." "No, I was dreadfully ugly. I had broken out two teeth climbing a stone wall." "You had stopped being good?" "Yes, that only lasted a little bit of a time."
True, his first passion had been conceived at the age of eighteen, its object being the bosom-friend of his only sister, a young lady who owned to six-and-twenty, and who had laughed at him mercilessly when the most startling of valentines had made her aware of the state of things.
This day I bought the second part of Dr. Bates's Elenchus, which reaches to the fall of Richard, and no further, for which I am sorry. This evening my wife had a great mind to choose Valentines against to-morrow, I Mrs. Clerke, or Pierce, she Mr. Hunt or Captain Ferrers, but I would not because of getting charge both to me for mine and to them for her, which did not please her. 14th.
He thought it probable, too, that they were dining out. Yes, he remembered. They were dining at the Chris Valentines. Well, that was better than it might have been. They were not dull, anyhow. His mind wandered to the Valentine house, small, not too well-ordered, frequently noisy, but always gay and extremely smart. He thought of Audrey, and her curious friendship with Natalie.
If he deposited so large a number of love tokens in one, or even two installments, it would certainly attract attention. He took Silvey into his confidence. "Why don't you want Louise to know where they came from?" asked his chum thoughtfully. "'Cause getting the most valentines in the room won't be half the fun if she knows I sent 'em all." "Give 'em to me," said Silvey.
Paid off my ship yesterday at Spithead, and here I am again on Valentine's Day. Temple and I stared hard at a big man with a bronzed skin and a rubicund laugh who expected to receive valentines. My aunt thrust the letter back to me secretly. 'It must be from a lady, said she. 'Why, who'd have a valentine from any but a lady? exclaimed the captain. The squire winked at me to watch his guest.
It isn't as much fun as if I picked them out myself, but I don't want the girls to think I've forgotten them."

"That's so," agreed Delight; "unless they look at the postmark and it's New York."
Each one endeavors to pin his arrow on the heart; the one pinning it nearest to the middle of the white heart wins the game. Select five good paper valentines. Paste each on a piece of cardboard and cut into small pieces. Have five small tables in the room and place a puzzle on each.

Spencer received several in the course of the day; two were surreptitiously stuffed into Doctor Mendel's coat pockets, and the kittens each received some.
