"No!" said David, faintly, turning his face away. "At least not yet." "Why? What can he have to say to my mother?" cried Isabella, in surprise. "Isn't it funny how familiar that antique room looks?" said Patricia with enjoyment. "I feel quite like an old residenter already. By the time my clay comes I'll have the sensations of the oldest inhabitant.".
