And you're too young to be bothered with a weight of domestic care, anyway.

Now run off and play with Bob and Bumble.

Go for a row or a drive and let the breeze blow all such worries out of your little noddle." So Patty ran away and played with her cousins, and they did have jolly good times.
There were so many nice things to do; fishing sailing, bathing, boating, driving, golf, tennis, and all sorts of outdoor amusements were at their disposal.
The Barlow twins, Nan Allen and Patty made a gay quartette, and if they desired a larger party, there were plenty of neighbors ready to join in their fun.
One warm afternoon, Patty and Bumble sat in a hammock swung under the trees, while Bob sprawled on the grass near them.
"Girls," said he, "come on, let's go for a swim.

The Smiths and the Enfields just went down towards the bath-houses, and there'll be a jolly crowd in the water." "All right, let's go," replied his sister.

"Where's Nan ?" "She's in the house somewhere," said Patty.
