Phil's eyes were radiant, and his voice trembled as he whispered, "And will you, dear? Will you, my little Patty? You promised, you know, to tell me tonight. So, tell me, -and tell me, -yes." Patty sat up very straight and looked at him. "Philip," she said, and her voice was serious; "if I have to decide now, it will be No. I did say I'd tell you tonight, and I meant to, but I'm all tired and bothered, and if I ...

Excerpt: ... it because she thinks you will be the next bride of your set? Because she thinks you will marry-me?" Phil's eyes were radiant, and his voice trembled as he whispered, "And will you, dear? Will you, my little Patty? You promised, you know, to tell me tonight. So, tell me, -and tell me, -yes." Patty sat up very straight and looked at him. "Philip," she said, and her voice was serious; "if I have to decide now, it will be No. I did say I'd tell you tonight, and I meant to, but I'm all tired and bothered, and if I'm not careful, I shall cry!

Patty was dressing for the party at the Blaneys', and Sam was coming to take her. "You'll like him, Nan, you can't help it. He is most interesting, -not a bit like other men. And they have such delightful people at their parties. They do big things, you know, -really big." "Such as what?" "Oh, they sing, and play on unusual instruments, -zitherns and lutes--" "That doesn't sound so awfully wonderful." "No; I suppose not. But it's the way they do it, -and the-the atmosphere, you know, and the general exalted effect--" "The what?" "Oh, I don't know how to express it so you'll understand, -but I like it all. It's on a higher plane than the usual evening party." "Don't they dance?" "Yes, some. But more Solo dances, and Interpretative ones. I'm going to do a splendid dance for them, soon. Mr. Blaney is making it up for me." "Can I see it?" "I guess so. I...
