Elinor rippled and dimpled in a surprisingly sparkling fashion as she recounted her experience in the portrait room, and Patricia, while she listened, marveled at the change in her placid sister. "Yes, I am—if I ever go there," returned Patricia with great spirit. "But I shan't have time for a long while.
