"Can't she let the poor man rest in his grave?" said Jen, wrathfully. "It is all through her opposition to the match that this has come about!" "That's so," admitted Patricia readily. "You always hit the nail on the head, old lady. Now I must run.

She had a long search before she discovered the valiant Sinbad in a far corner of the now deserted divan surrounded by a circle of kindred spirits to whom Griffin had delivered her, holding her own with great spirit and enjoyment among the dashing wit and pungent repartee.

"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." "It sounds like wedding bells to me!" she cried, gayly.
