She hails from Arizona, doesn't she?" "Yes. Here she is now; I hear you're an athlete, Zaly." "Only so-so," the girl replied, half-absently. "Have your friends gone?" asked Patty. "Yes." "I recognised them," began young Gale: "they were " Azalea turned to him quickly. "Don't you say who they were!" she cried, emphatically. "I don't want you to! Don't you dare mention their names! It's a secret!"
So Azalea came, laughingly, and the two walked grandiloquently into the focus of the camera. "And there is a man making phonograph records," young Gale went on. "Come over there, Zaly, and we'll have a joust of words, and record it on the sands of time!" "What do you mean?" asked Azalea, interestedly, for she had no knowledge of some of the performances going on.
Twice she had been gone for two or three hours, and though the baby seemed all right, Patty didn't approve of the performance. "That's it," she summed up, after telling Elise of this; "you see, I haven't approved of such long absences and so Zaly just walked off. Of course, she sent Winnie down for the food, in order to get a chance to put on Baby's things, and depart unseen."
"And she's your only living relative?" "The only one I know anything about. Mother's people were English, none of them over here. No near relatives, anyhow, for she was an only child. Dad was, too, for that matter. Little Zaly, that's what they called her, is about the last leaf on the tree." "Let's ask her to visit us, can't we?
No, Elise, nothing like that happened, I'm sure. I see it as Bill does, now. It is a heavenly day, and Zaly felt pretty sure I wouldn't let her take Baby out by herself, without the nurse, and she does love to do that, and so she sneaked off, and made up that yarn about the food in order to get Fleurette's hat and coat on! Oh, she's a manoeuvrer!"
"That's right, Zaly, dear," Patty cried, "you're my girl, first, last and all the time! And we'll both do as Betty says, because she knows it all! She knows lots more than I do." "Indeed I do!" and the saucy Betty laughed. "Well, then, I'll arrange for a dance for Azalea very soon. Do you dance?" "I don't know," replied Azalea, "I never tried."
"All right, Zaly, dear, tell us," and Patty sat beside her, and put a caressing hand on her arm. "I am Alice Adams," Azalea said, "and I am not Azalea Thorpe at all, and I never was." "Oh!" said Farnsworth, beginning to see light. "I am a wicked girl," the pathetic little voice went on. "I lived in Homer's Corners, and I lived with the woman who keeps the post-office there.
"Don't talk so, Zaly," Patty said, gently. "Cousin Bill isn't asking anything out of the way. There's no reason you shouldn't show him your father's letter, in part, at least, is there now?" "N no, but I don't want to." "Of course you don't," put in Bill, "and for a very good reason!" "What reason?" cried Azalea, her black eyes flashing. "You know as well as I do." "I don't!"
It was Patty's work, getting Azalea here, and Patty has tried every way in the world to help and improve her " "Patty has done wonders. And has paved the way, I admit. But it is nothing to what I shall do with and for Azalea, when I have her all to myself." "She's not so very tractable Zaly has a will of her own." "She'd not be herself, if she hadn't. That's part of her big nobility of soul.
They're not your sort." "Are they your sort? Oh, Zaly, I thought you wanted to be our 'sort, as you call it. You don't want to have friends Bill and I wouldn't approve of, do you?" "Oh, I don't know what I want! I wish you'd go 'way, and leave me alone!" "I will in a minute. Tell me your friends' names." "I won't." "Then I shall ask Ray Gale.
