As Lucy and Aunt Pattie stood together beside the little parapet looking out through the sprays of banksia rose that were already making a white canopy above the restaurant tables, they had before them the steep sides and Imperial ruins of the Palatine; the wonderful group of churches on the Coelian; the low villa-covered ridges to the right melting into the Campagna; and far away, the blue, Sabine mountains 'suffused with sunny air' that look down with equal kindness on the refuge of Horace, and the oratory of St.

It's a great pity she should miss Vallombrosa. I hoped I might settle her and Aunt Pattie there by about the middle of June. Eleanor made so sudden a movement that her book fell to the ground. 'You are going to Vallombrosa? I thought you were due at home, the beginning of June? 'That was when I thought the book was coming out before the end of the month. But now

Buck Peavey have just passed by looking like the last of pea-time and the first of frost. I do declare it were right down funny to see Pattie toss her head at him, and them boys both giggled out loud. He ain't spoke to Pattie for a week 'cause she sang outen Sam Mosbey's hymn-book last Wednesday night at prayer meeting. He've got a long-meter doxology face for sure."

"He would be quite likely to appeal to Polly," remarked Aunt Pattie as she arose for a visit to a near-by box. "You mean Cousin Polly," corrected Constance sweetly. Gresham was very thoughtful. He was more logically calculating than most people thought him. It was Polly's cousinship which puzzled Johnny Gamble. "When you picked a cousin you made some choice," he complimented her.

"I shouldn't think he'd feel in the humor for social calls just now. He's lost all his money." "You wouldn't believe it if you had heard him laugh over the 'phone just now when I told him to bring his straw hat," declared Polly. "Who told you the news?" asked Constance, feeling sure of the answer. "Mr. Gresham," hesitated Aunt Pattie.

And then she recalled her own pause of wonder as Aunt Pattie left her beside the hotel window, looking into the narrow side street. Why was it 'very good of her'? and why, nevertheless, was this dislocation of all their plans felt to be somehow her fault and responsibility? even by herself? There was a sudden helpless inclination to laugh over the topsy-turviness of it all.

They have to be eased along attentive, all 'cept Buck Peavey, who'd like to eat Pattie up same as a cannibal, I'm thinking, and don't mind who knows it. Now the supper is all on the simmer and can be got ready in no time. Let's me and you walk down to the front gate and watch for Tom to come around the Nob from Flat Rock and then we can run in the biscuits.

* "It is perhaps this very long and formidable range of mountains," says Pattie, "which has caused that this country of Red River has not been more explored," p. 98. After eight days of waiting they at last got their rudder shipped, the vessel on the tide, and went back down the stream, one of the Yuma women swimming after them till taken on board. She was landed at the first opportunity.

Manisty must have safely left it for that important field day of his clerical and Ultramontane friends in Rome, in which he was pledged to take part; then the arrival of the startled and bewildered Aunt Pattie at the small hotel where they were in hiding her conferences first with Eleanor, then with Lucy. Strange little lady, Aunt Pattie! How much had she guessed?

"That sunset bonnet is a maraschino." "Pinkest one they had," she complacently assured him. "I want you to meet some friends of mine, Johnny." And, with vast pride in her acquaintanceship with all parties concerned, she introduced him to Constance and Aunt Pattie.
