Do you know her?"
"Kitty who? Where is she?"
"I don't know, I'm sure. But he told Adele his whole heart and life
were bound up in this Kitty Somebody. So I'm sure I don't see any
reason why I should be running after him."
"I can't imagine you running after anybody, Patty. You don't need
to, for the boys all run after you. But it's very queer I never
heard of this Kitty. I've known Bill for years. Let me see; there
was Kate Morton,--but I never thought Bill cared especially for her.
And anyway, I can't imagine calling HER Kitty! She's as tall and
straight as an Indian!"
"Well, Bill calls her Kitty; Adele said so."
"Oh, is it Kate Morton, then? Did Adele say that?"
"No, Adele said she couldn't remember the girl's last name. And I
don't care if it's Kate Morton or Kathleen Mavourneen! It's nothing
to me what kind of a girl Bill Farnsworth likes."
"Of course it isn't. I know you never liked Bill."
"I did SO! I DO like him, but just the same as I like all the other
boys."
"Then what makes you turn pink every time Bill's name is mentioned,
and never when you speak of anybody else?"
"I don't! And if I did, it wouldn't mean anything. I'm not specially
interested in anybody, Daisy, but if I were, I wouldn't sit up and
blush about it.
