"Look here, Patty, quite aside from Fleurette's connection with this case,--what's your opinion of Zaly as a 'movie' star ?" "She's great, dear,--she really is.

And--if she weren't our relative--" "_My_ relative--" "_Our_ relative, I should advise her to go in for the thing seriously; but,--I may be over-conservative,--even snobbish, but I do hate to have our cousin's portrait all over the fences and ashbarrels, and in all the Sunday papers, and--" "I don't mind that publicity so much as I do the possible effects on Azalea's life.

I don't know that the career of a 'movie' star is as full of dangerous pitfalls as the theatrical line, but--I hate to see Azalea subjected to them,--for her own sake." "I'm not sure we'll have anything to say in the matter," Patty observed, thoughtfully.
"She may take the bit in her own teeth.

After seeing her break that bucking broncho to-day,--I don't think her as tractable and easily influenced as I did!" "How's this plan, dearest?
Suppose we don't tell Azalea, for the moment, that you saw the picture to-day, and see what she'll do next." "All right, I'd be glad to think it over a little.

We'll warn Mona not to give it away,--and nobody else knows we went there." "Of course, I'll take up the matter of Fleurette with Azalea, separately," Farnsworth went on.
