How pretty Mona would look in a gray and crimson room? how——，"Of course we're going," said Elinor, evenly. "What else should we do? And I want you to persuade Miss Jinny to stay over for it, Miss Pat."，There was a shout of amazed laughter, but Patricia persisted:，There was a short silence.“Mebbeso, but I ain’t goin’ to take no chance on it!
