"Yes, you can," and Patty stared at it. "You wouldn't notice the
difference, if you weren't looking for it, but it IS ST. I see it
all, Nan! You know Bee didn't want this luncheon, and to get out of
it, she changed that date before the invitations were sent! And you
see, by the eighth, she'll be back in school!"
"Are both dates Tuesday?" said Nan, thinking.
"Yes, of course, they are. Isn't it clever? Oh, Bee never got this
up all by herself,--that Kit helped her."
"But, Patty, then nobody will go on the first, and the Homers will
be all prepared--"
"That's just what Bee wants! One of her practical jokes! Oh, Nan, I
do detest practical jokes."
"So do I! I think they're ill-bred."
"But the Homers don't think that, and Kit Cameron doesn't, either.
We've discussed that matter lots of times, and we never agree. And,
besides, Nan," and Patty had a new inspiration, "don't you see, this
party was planned for the first of April, and Bee and Kit will call
this thing an April Fool joke, and therefore entirely permissible.
April Fool's Day is their Happy Hunting Ground. But I'm going to
foil this thing, and don't you forget it! Seems to me it would be a
pretty good joke if I'd turn the tables on those two smarties.
