"How about Patty's being Spirit of the Sea?" he asked.
"Oh," Daisy said, "you'd better not say anything to her about
that. I asked her, and she gave me this note to give you. It isn't
signed, nor addressed, but you see it's her handwriting. She wrote
it hastily, but she said she didn't want to talk about the
matter."
Guy looked a little surprised, but took the note and read it.
"H'm," he said, "rather NOT be Spirit of the Sea. Get some one
else. And--as a personal favour, don't speak of the matter to her!
Well, Pretty Patty must have a miff of some sort. Most unlike her!
However, her word is law. I'll never mention the subject to her,
since she asks me not to. But our time is getting short, and most
of the girls have their parts. Miss Dow, won't you be Spirit of
the Sea?"
"Why, yes, if you want me to," said Daisy, looking modest and
demure. "I can make the costume easily, because I know just how.
It requires fishnet draperies over green chiffon, and lots of
seaweed decorations and that sort of thing."
"Yes; you have just the right idea. Then I'll put you down for
that. You and Mr. Farnsworth will make a fine pair. I wonder what
Patty WOULD like to be."
"I'll ask her," volunteered Daisy.
