Who had it before you did?" "Mother." "Oh, yes, of course. Well, I'm not going to take it from you " "Yes, you are, Elise. I want to give it to you. I've wanted all along to give you something nice, you've been so good to me " "Rubbish! don't talk like that, Zaly! If you want to make Patty a present, now, give it to her. That would be a worth-while return for her kindness to you."
"That's true," agreed Patty, "and so, Zaly, suppose you discontinue that habit. It isn't done this year." "Honest? That so? I'd be mighty glad to quit it!" "Do, then," put in Bill. "And while we're on the subject, you won't mind if I go into it a little more deeply, will you?" "What do you mean?" "Well, for one thing, they don't put elbows on the table this season as much as formerly." "Pooh!
Patty had arranged that she should sit next Van Reypen, and as Azalea took the place, she found Ray Gale on her other hand. "'Smatter, Zaly?" he said, merrily, not thinking anything was really troubling her. "Shell shock," said Van Reypen, to save Azalea the necessity of replying. "She's had a hard day of it, and now she's not to be bothered to talk, if she doesn't want to."
"Well, I'm glad you both feel that way about it," said Elise; "of course you know the girl better than I do, as I've never even seen her! but if she's such a strong-arm, I think I'm rather afraid of her!" "Oh, I imagine you can hold your own against her!" laughed Patty, happy now, since Bill's reassurance of her darling's safety. "All the same, I wish Zaly would come home! It's after six!
"I shall sleep late to-morrow morning," declared Patty, as, after all the guests were gone, the house party started for bed. "Me, too," agreed Elise. "I'm glad you haven't anybody staying here but us. No house guests, I mean, but just Zaly and me." "I'm glad, too," said Patty. "You see, I expected Father and Nan, but they've changed their plans and will remain in California another month."
"Oh, Miss Thorpe doesn't know them socially!" said Gale, and then he said a quick "good-bye" and hung up his receiver. The next day Farnsworth made an occasion to see Azalea alone. "Come for a stroll in the rose garden," he said to her as they left the breakfast table. "But aren't you in a hurry to go to town?" she objected. "No, I'm not. Come along, Zaly, I want to talk to you."
