A beautiful set like that! Why, they're Russia bound!" "Why, so they are!" "As if he didn't know that!" exclaimed one of the girls to Elise, as Farnsworth sauntered away.

"Why, he gave that set to the sale!" "He did! And then bought them back again!" "Yes, that's just what he has done." "Oh, well, then, he does mean to give them to somebody,--somebody in particular." And Farnsworth certainly did mean to give them to somebody in particular.

He designed them as a gift for Patty.

He knew she would enjoy the poems, and he chose the edition with great care.

Then, to enhance the value, he made it a present to the Club Sale, and promptly bought it back.
The big Westerner made his way through the crowds, stopping here and there to buy a flower or a trinket from the beguiling vendors.
