"How splendid!" said Patricia, glowing. "To think that we'll meet them here in town after all. Are they going to Rockham this summer?" "It's cleared off, after all," he said. "It's going to be a ripping fine day tomorrow." "Fine! Fine!" he cried, nodding his head approvingly. "That beats them all! My wife, she used to sing that song, and I liked it fine, but you beat them all!".

She was about to whisper to Tom Hughes, who was next in the merry jumble that followed the first three precise couples, when there was a tremendous rapping at the studio door, and Hannah Ann in her treasured new hat rushed from Miss Jinny's room, where she had been in ambush, to the besieged portal. "Indeed! And am I ever to learn the reason of your extraordinary behavior?" "Bill," he said, with his voice dancing, "that's the most effective apology I ever heard. You were sorry to some point."
