`` Caroline Lea , that is your organdie ! And you 've gone and made it up for me ! Carry Lea , what are you going to wear to the wedding ? '' `` Nothing . I 'm not going . '' `` You are -- you must -- you shall . I wo n't take the organdie . '' `` You 'll have to now , because it 's made to fit you . Come , Patty dear , I 've set my heart on your going to that party . You must n't disappoint me -- you ca n't , for what good would it do ? I can never wear the dress now . '' Patty realized that . She knew she might as well go to the party , but she did not feel much pleasure in the prospect . Nevertheless , when she was ready for it the next evening , she could n't help a little thrill of delight . The dress was so pretty , and dainty , and becoming . `` You look sweet , '' exclaimed Carry admiringly . `` There , I hear the Browns ' carriage . Patty , I want you to promise me this -- that you 'll not let any thought of me , or my not going to the wedding , spoil your enjoyment this evening . I gave you the dress that you might have a good time , so do n't make my gift of no effect . '' `` I 'll try , '' promised Patty , flying downstairs , where her next-door neighbours were waiting for her .
At two o'clock that night XXXXX was awakened to see Patty bending over her , flushed and radiant .
