"The best thing about you, Miss Pat," said Elinor, the day before the party, "is that you know when to stop.

"Isn't it funny how familiar that antique room looks?" said Patricia with enjoyment. "I feel quite like an old residenter already. By the time my clay comes I'll have the sensations of the oldest inhabitant."

"I promise you," replied Jen, with a look of stern determination in his face. "Well, why not you and Alfred come along and make it a family party, if that is what suits Bill, the boss?".
