"Only this, that he has gone up to town without bidding me good-by, save in this short note. I can't understand such conduct." "I'm getting too old to be treated like such a baby, Miss Pat," said Judith with great dignity. "I wish you wouldn't be so silly! How could I marry an old person like Mr. Hilton, anyway?"
