AN ODD DINNER PARTY A few nights later, Patty invited the two Blaneys to dinner.

Nan wanted to meet Alla, and Mr.Fairfield, too, expressed a desire to see these new friends of Patty's.
"Me and the two companies is three," said Patty, making up her party, "and you and Dad are five.

Who'd make a good sixth ?" "Only six ?" asked Nan.

"Why not a big dinner ?" "No; I don't think so.

You see, the Blaneys don't fit in with everybody, and I want them to have a good time." "Oh, I mean ask their own sort of people." Patty looked up, quickly.
