"Have you any idea as to the guilty person?" he asked, in a hurried tone. "Of course, I don't mean as Miss Jinny's special property, you goose; I was only thinking of him as a pleasant addition to the old ladies' card parties and porch teas,—they need men so badly."

Patricia looked inquiringly at him..
