Half way down the street, Pauline was overtaken by her younger sister.
"Are you going to get the new things now, Paul?" she asked eagerly.
"Of course not, just get some samples."
"There's always such a lot of getting ready first," Patience sighed.
"Paul, mother says I may go with you to-morrow afternoon."
"All right," Pauline agreed. "Only, you've got to promise not to 'hi yi' at Fanny all the way."
"I won't—all the way."
"And—Impatience?"
"Yes?"
"You needn't say what we want the new paper for, or anything about what we are planning to do—in the store I mean."
"Mr. Ward would be mighty interested."
"I dare say."
