Van Reypen came forward, and with a gay little impromptu speech, put a floral crown on Patty's head, and Ferris presented her with the long gilded sceptre. Patty made a little speech of humorous greeting, and the coronation was declared over, and Patty was Queen of the May. The guests came thronging around to talk to the pretty queen, and then they all went to the tea-tent.
Bill Farnsworth, coatless, dripping wet, and exceedingly uncomfortable, sat upright, tossing back his clustered wet hair, and positively laughing at the situation. "Pardon my hilarity," he said, as he caught a glimpse of Patty's face, "but you're all so lugubrious, somebody MUST laugh."
There were beautiful pictures on the walls, and costly vases and bric-a-brac all about, and it all showed such kind thought on the part of somebody, that Patty's heart was touched. "Is it for me? Who did it all?" she asked, turning to Ethelyn with shining eyes. "Oh, mamma did it; she loves to do such things. That is, she planned it, and the servants did the work. Here's my room right next.
He was just the man a girl like Patty would fall in love with, and Gabriella no longer felt that. Patty's beauty was wasted. Once or twice she caught fleeting glances passing between them, and these glances, so winged with happiness, spoke unutterable and ecstatic things. A hush dropped suddenly on the table, and in this hush she heard the voice of Colonel Buffington telling a story in dialect.
"Well," I said, "did you get it?" "Get what?" "Miss Patty's handkerchief?" "Oh that! Yes. Here it is." He pulled it out of his pocket and held it up by the corner. "Ridiculous size, isn't it, and " he held it up to his nose "I dare say one could almost tell it was hers by the scent. It's it's like her." "Humph!" I said, suddenly suspicious, and looked at it.
"Did Adele order you to fix this car?" and Patty's blue eyes gave Bill a look of withering scorn. "No, she did not." "Then I can't think of allowing you to do it. I don't want you to do ANYTHING for me except at Adele's orders!" "You little goose! I've a notion to kidnap you, wild roses and all, and take you off in my car." "Did Adele order you to do THAT?" "Patty, stop this nonsense!
As Patty lay on the rug that evening while Aunt Pen sung softly in the twilight, a small, white figure came pattering over the straw carpet, and dropped a soft, warm ball down by Patty's cheek, saying, as plainly as a loud, confiding purr could say it
So Patty put on the blue crape, and very becoming it was, though somewhat inappropriate for a quiet family dinner. "We only have one maid between us," explained Ethelyn, calling from her own room into Patty's. "Elise will do your hair when you want her, but just now she's doing mine."
Her eyes were reddened with crying and her cheeks were tear-stained, and she ran to Patty, screaming: "I will! I will! She's my cousin, and I'm going to see her now." Then she threw her arms round Patty's waist, and smiled up into her face. She was a very pretty little girl when she smiled, and Patty couldn't help admiring her, though so far she had seemed like anything but a lovable character.
Patty's pretty face was almost invisible through her motor veil, and as Mr. Cameron had no idea that she was the girl who had talked to him the night before, and as he really had no interest in girls in general, he merely made a very polite bow and went directly toward the piano.
