"We had to wait till the Board met, you know.","There's no hurry, anyway," insisted Patricia. "The cocoa will keep hot on the corner of the stove and the rest of the things don't matter. You girls haven't any classes this afternoon, so we have an eternity to feed in.","I never will," I said in a hurry; "I want you to ask me anything in the world you want to, and I'll always do it.",On the day after the major's dinner party, Isabella was sitting in the veranda with a book open on her lap and Dido standing gravely near her. Mrs. Dallas, in the cool depths of the drawing-room, was indulging in an after-luncheon siesta. The sunlight poured itself over the velvet lawns, drew forth the perfumes from the flower-beds, and made the earth languorous with heat.，"I remember his coming. Go on, please."，"Don't be too scared," she said in a quick undertone. "It's forty years since he served the Diva, and he only stayed a month.

She blurted out her triumphant account of the new Doris, almost forgetting Geraldine, and to their excited questionings and comments she flashed illuminating replies, making them see the very figure in the muffled cloak with the courageous expression on its lovely face.,He held up his finger.,Patricia was about to make a comment when she suddenly turned and came back to them.,Patricia played with the handle of the great glittering brass amphora that stood by the low stool where she sat. Her face was puzzled though not disquiet.,"Tell ole Dido ob de debble-stick.","What's it to be?" asked Elinor, releasing her and beginning to braid her dark hair.,"They will approach at different times—not? It will be more better to place them during the first rest.",Judith's dismayed exclamation cut short her account of the activities at Greycroft.,"What a crowd!" exclaimed Elinor, as they pushed their way to the cloak room.
