Oh, how do you do, Patty?
How are you?
You're looking splendid.

And Daisy! Well, it's good to see you again.

By the way, Daisy, I saw Lou Standish last week in Arizona.

He sent greetings to you." "Oh, did you, Bill?
Did you see Lou?
Tell me more about him." Patty turned aside, her gaiety suddenly gone.

What did Bill Farnsworth mean by treating her like that?
A blank stare from him would have surprised her no more than those few careless words, flung at her hastily, as if she were the merest acquaintance.
