"Yes! With that Cameron man dangling at your heels!"
"Well, Philip, if I have to stay here, you ought to be glad I have some one here to amuse me."
"I'm not! I'd rather you were there alone! Patty, I won't stand it! I'm coming up myself, to dig you out!"
"Don't talk foolishness! If you come up here, you'll have to stay! They don't let any one leave the house."
"All right, then, I'll stay! That wouldn't be half bad."
"Philip, behave yourself! Mrs. Perry has all the company she can take care of."
"I'll help her take care of her company. One of 'em, anyway!"
"I won't talk to you, if you're so silly. Now listen. You go ahead with your party to-night, and ask some other pretty girl to take my place."
"Take your place!" Philip's growl of disgust nearly broke the telephone.
"Yes," went on Patty, severely, "to take my place. And then, when we get let out, you could have another party for me. Don't you see, it will be a sort of celebration of my release from captivity."
