It wouldn't be fair to leave them out of your house-party just because they happen to live in Vernondale." Then Patty saw that her father was laughing at her. "I know you're teasing me now, papa," she said, "but I don't see why. Just because I want to ask my cousins to come here and return the visits I made to them last year."
And as, by force of circumstance, I am obliged to uphold the New York side of this argument, I will now set forth some of its advantages, feeling sure that my worthy opponents are quite able to uphold the Vernondale side." "Hear, hear!" exclaimed Frank, but Patty rapped with her mallet and commanded silence. Then Mr.
At first Ethelyn thought to appear interesting by expressing timid doubts as to the safety of the picnic party, but she soon found that the Vernondale young people had no foolish fears of that sort. Fourth of July was a bright, clear day, warm, but very pleasant, with a good stiff breeze blowing.
"You know, papa," said Patty, "you said that if I wanted to live in Vernondale you'd buy a house here, and I do want to live here, at least, I am almost sure I do." "Oh, Patty," said Marian, "why aren't you quite sure? You're president of the club, and the girls are all so fond of you, and you're getting along so well in school. I don't see where else you could want to live."
The Vernondale young people proved to be a merry, jolly crowd, and pretty Patty soon became a favorite. Frank and Marian introduced her to everybody and took special care that she should never lack for companions or amusement. And there was so much to do, and Patty enjoyed it all. She was clever at the games, and owing to her practice at the Hurly-Burly, she could row as well as any boy.
All the same, I haven't spoken my piece yet, and I believe it is now my turn." "It is," said Patty, "and we eagerly await your sapient and authoritative remarks." "Ahem!" said Frank pompously, as he arose. "My remarks shall be brief, but very much to the point. Patty's home must be in Vernondale because we live here.
It would seem to me that if a decision should be arrived at for the Vernondale home, the Fairfields could manage to reap some few of those mysterious advantages said to be found in city life, by going to New York and staying a few months every winter.
Elliott put Patty in a cab to go across New York to the New Jersey ferry, and seating himself beside her, he said: "Well, my little maid, I am very glad to get you at last; and as there is a whole houseful of people out at Vernondale who are eagerly watching for your arrival, I am going to get you there as soon as possible." "Yes, do," said Patty; "I am so anxious to see Marian and all the rest.
Patty's going to stay in Vernondale!" "Yes, indeed, perfectly gorgeous." "Just this evening; just now." "I guess I am! I'm so glad I don't know what to do!" "Oh, yes, of course she'll keep on being president." "No, they haven't decided yet, but I want them to take the Bigelow house." "Yes; wouldn't it be fine!" "Oh, it isn't very late." "Well, come over early to-morrow morning, then." "Good-by."
The Vernondale young people were quite ready to provide pleasures for Patty's guests, and the appreciation shown by Nan and the Barlows was a decided and very pleasant contrast to the attitude of Ethelyn and Reginald. Sailing parties occurred often, and these Nan enjoyed especially, for she was passionately fond of the water, and dearly loved sailing or rowing.
