Again I had that sensation of being against something warm and great and good, and I don't know how I controlled it enough not to—to—— "Patricia Louise Kendall! That's sacrilege!" gasped the scandalized Miss Jinny. She washed her tools in the grimy tanks of the clay room, more in love with it every minute, and when she joined Elinor at their lockers, she was fairly bursting with enthusiasm. Patricia looked her surprise. "Why, I thought you hadn't started it yet. You said you'd rush it off at the last moment without a bit of trouble.".
