Doris Leighton, with a rather flushed face, leaned forward as Patricia spoke and touched her on the shoulder. "First impressions are always best, I find," she said sagely.

You have to get yours in by noon, don't you?" A tall, good-looking man in tweeds was shaking hands heartily with Hannah Ann, while an esthetically dressed, rather languid young lady in pastel green was trying to introduce a pretty, smiling blond girl in black furs whom Patricia easily recognized as the original of the photograph that had stood on Mr. Lindley's desk at Greycroft, and the Haldens were explaining how they heard that the Lindleys were in town and so had come in on an earlier train specially to capture them for the house-breaking..
