"Your people won't hear of it.","Calm down, Miss Pat," she said, with her hand on the knob. "I'm going to corral a few of the elect and put it to them. Brace up and look pleasant by the time I get back.",At his words, a glad light springs to life within her wonderful eyes. She is so pleased and proud that he should so speak of her.,I am five feet three inches tall or short, whichever way one looks at me.
