You are very kind." Farnsworth burst out laughing at the mild tone and the shy, downcast eyes, whereupon Patty favoured him with an innocent stare, saying, "What is the matter ?" "A whole lot is the matter!" Daisy answered for him.

"I am as wax in the hands of you two.

Certainly, Daisy, I'll be honoured if you'll accept the books." "What are they ?" asked Patty, carelessly, as she still bent her attention to the embroideries of her new acquisition.
"Oh, it's a set of Riley.

A wonderful set,--bound in Russia leather." Patty looked up, quickly.
