"But you've got to turn in the head-class fee this morning, you know," reminded Patricia, coming back from Italy with a jump. "I have my junk all ready, and I'll tell you when I'm going to spring it on them, so you can have a peep at the fun." "I can't tell you that just now," he said, in a hesitating manner. "But I know it for certain." "Yes, lover, I'll get them for you, but tell Molly where it is you are going to sail off with her in that trunk of yours?"
