The soft chimes of the dinner gong began their melodious call before anyone could answer, and in the mad scramble to make themselves presentable in the shortest possible time, Hannah Ann's enthusiasms were forgotten. "Yes, I am—if I ever go there," returned Patricia with great spirit. "But I shan't have time for a long while.
