Eileen pouted while Linda and Marian thoroughly enjoyed themselves and gave the guests a most entertaining evening.

So disgruntled was Eileen, when the young men had gone, that she immediately went to her room, leaving Linda and Marian to close the house and make their own arrangements for the night.
Whereupon Linda deliberately led Marian to the carefully dusted and flower-garnished guest room and installed her with every comfort and convenience that the house afforded.

Then bringing her brushes from her own room, she and Marian made themselves comfortable, visiting far into the night.
"I wonder," said Linda, "if Peter Morrison will go to a real estate man in the morning and look over the locations remaining in Lilac Valley." "Yes, I think he will," said Marian conclusively.
"It seems to me," said Linda, "that we did a whole lot of talking about homes tonight; which reminds me, Marian, in packing have you put in your plans?
Have you got your last draft with you ?" "No," answered Marian, "it's in one of the cases.

I haven't anything but two or three pencil sketches from which I drew the final plans as I now think I'll submit them for the contest.

Wouldn't it be a tall feather in my cap, Linda, if by any chance l I should win that prize ?" "It would be more than a feather," said Linda.
