He wore a
long white robe with red hearts dotted all over it, and carried a gilt bow
and arrow.
He carried also a pack or pouch full of valentines which he distributed to
the guests.
Of course they were very handsome affairs, and in each was hidden some
dainty trifle, handkerchief, fan or bonbons.
Besides those at the party, Patty received numerous other valentines, some
of which came by mail, and others in the good old-fashioned way, under the
front door.
Many of these were from the Elmbridge young people, while several from
Richmond included a beauty from her father, and a pretty one from Clara
Hayden.
Although the cousins had varying tastes, they had become very good friends,
and both felt sad when the day came for Patty to leave Villa Rosa.
Indeed, the whole family felt sad, for Patty was a very lovable little
girl, and had endeared herself to them all. Uncle Robert was to take her to
New York and put her on the boat, where Mr. Tom Fleming would meet her and
take her to his mother's house in Boston.
Aunt Isabel said she, too, would go to New York with Patty, and of course
Ethelyn announced her intention of going.
