Do you know where I live ?" "Yes, Miss Patty," and, with a respectful little bob of her head, Pansy Potts disappeared, and Patty ran back to the house.
"Well, chickadee," said Mr.Fairfield, "I have about decided that you and I can make ourselves comfortable within these four walls, and, if it suits your ladyship, I think we'll consider that we have taken the house." "It does suit me," said Patty.

"I'm perfectly satisfied; and _I_ have taken a house-maid." "Where did you get her ?" exclaimed Frank.

"Do they grow on trees in the garden?
I saw you out in the arbour with one." "Yes," said Patty; "I picked her off a tree.

She isn't quite ripe, but she's not so very green; and I think she'll do.

Never mind about her now.
I can't decide until I've had a talk with Aunt Alice.
