Patty sang her parody, in a high, clear voice, and then returned to her depths of collar.

“The snow is falling all around,

We’ll soon arrive where we are bound,

And you’ll get warm,—you bet!”

“Lovely, Phil!” murmured Patty, “you do sing like a cherub!”

“Oh, well, I suppose my coloratura is a little off, but every time I open my mouth the snow snows in!”

“Ought to make liquid notes,” said Patty.
