"Really!" said Etwald again, "Then I may marry her after all." "Let's stay here for a minute or two, and then run up to the house before it comes," suggested Patricia, with her chin on the half door of the barn, looking out over the tender landscape and down at the flowers in the unused barnyard far below. "Why not?" returned Patricia, her fingers busy with Sinbad's girdle. "You can't do two things at once, to do them well.
