"I wonder what booth you'd rather serve in, Azalea," she went on.

"Of course, you may take your choice." "When is the Fair ?" Azalea asked.
"We're planning it for the middle of July.

I think we can get ready by that time." "I won't be here then," and Azalea looked thoughtful.
"Won't be here! Of course you will! What nonsense!" and Patty's blue eyes opened wide in astonishment.
"I thought I might outstay my welcome," Azalea said, seeming a little confused.
"Nay, nay, Pauline," and Patty smiled at her, "stay as long as you like.
As long as you can be happy with us." But there was an uncomfortable pause, for Farnsworth didn't second Patty's invitation or make any comment on it.
"I'm going down to New York in the car this afternoon," said Elise.
"Want to go, Azalea ?" "Yes,--I'd be glad to." "All right, be ready about three.

You going, Pattibelle ?" "No; not to-day.

My lord and master is at home, and I can't give up a precious hour of his companionship." "Oh, you turtle-doves! All right, then, Zaly and I will sally forth to the great metropolis." Elise was spending a month with Patty, and was going later to the mountains with her own family.
