Disturbed by the unexpected appearance of David, and seeing from his expression that he was bent upon making himself disagreeable, Jen hastily interposed to prevent a quarrel between the two young men. "My dear child," he said slowly, "I kept our engagement secret on account of David. I have seen for a long time that he loves you, and knowing his fiery temper, I did not wish to provoke a quarrel by telling him that you had promised to be my wife. But last night the truth was forced from me at dinner, and David declared that he intended to ask you to marry him." "Take my advice, my dear," grinned Patricia.

Don't let those long-haired boys get a glimpse of it, or it's all up with you.".

Diving under her stand, she fished out the bundle and opened it with trembling fingers. "Oh, what about Dido and her meeting you?" "I shall be delighted, Mr. Haydon," she said primly, to the great gratification of Judith, who had previously arranged this incident. Elinor was waiting for them, and Patricia could see that she was in a state of great agitation. She hurried to her, while her companion dropped behind to exchange notes with one of the men from the composition room..
