She'll have some other part, just as good." "Very well, I'll turn me thinks toward me frock.

What say to pale blue tulle, with silver lace by way of trimmin's ?" "Fine! And after you get yours all planned will you help me with mine ?" "Will I! I live but for that! You, my Elise, must wear corn colour, or, say, maize colour, and poppies." "Yes, now that you speak of it, that's just what I want.

Shall us ask Philip down, Patty ?" "No; I'd like to have one time of my life without his revered presence." "Look here, Patty, between you and me and the circus, aren't you expecting to be the eventual Mrs.Philip ?" "Oh, Elise, don't bother me about such far-away eventualities."

"Oh, well, Elise, I can't feel sure that it's precisely your affair; but, as you show a polite interest, I don't mind telling you that we quarrelled." "About Philip Van Reypen." "Clairvoyant! Well, if you will have it so,--yes." "Oh, Patty, then you do like Phil better than Mr.Farnsworth!" "Do I ?" "You must! or you never would have sent one away because of the other.
And, Patty, you did just right.

Phil Van Reypen is worth a dozen of that Western giant.
