"And the pup-pup-pergola, too," added Patricia mischievously. "Do you really want to go?" asked Patricia, beaming. "The modeling room's open, and you can always see the antique." "Oh, that is Uncle Jen's greatest treasure," he said, smiling. "He can tell twenty stories about that innocent-looking cane."
