But you see the photograph that
came to me was so charming that the temptation was irresistible."
"If you'd known it was only me, you wouldn't have come, would you?"
asked Patty.
Kit regarded her solemnly. Then he waved his hand, as if dismissing
a question of no moment. "It doesn't matter," he said, "all young
ladies in pink and white look alike to me."
"Then I'm glad I'm not in pink and white," said Daisy, who was
looking very pretty in a blue linen frock, with wide black ribbons.
"So am I," and Kit smiled at her approvingly. "You look so
different, it's a pleasure to observe you."
Cameron had a charming way of talking nonsense, and before they
reached home both Daisy and Adele had taken a decided liking to the
gay young man.
They had tea on the glass-paned veranda, and it was not until they
were all comfortably seated, with their teacups in hand, that
Cameron said, casually: "Oh, by the way, Patty, I have a note for
you from Mrs. Fairfield, and a parcel."
He took from his pocket a letter and a little box.
"Oh, thank you," said Patty, taking them "May I?" she added, as she
opened the note.
As Patty read, her face grew longer and her eyes grew bigger. As she
finished, she looked at Cameron, who was gazing at her with his eyes
full of laughter.
