Question

“Paper weights,” observed Patty, sucking an injured thumb, “were evidently not made
for driving in tacks. I wish I had a hammer.” This remark called forth no response ,
and Patty peered down from the top of the step-ladder at her room-mate, who was
sitting on the floor dragging sofa-pillows and curtains from a dry-goods box.
“Priscilla,” she begged, “you aren’t doing anything useful. Go down and ask Peters for a
hammer.” Priscilla rose reluctantly. “I dare say fifty girls have already been after a
hammer.” “Oh, he has a private one in his back pocket. Borrow that. And, Pris, “Patty
called after her, “Just tell him to send up a man to take that closet door off its
hinges.”
Patty, in the interval, sat down on the top step and surveyed the chaos beneath her.
An Oriental rush chair, very much out at the elbows, several miscellaneous chairs, two
desks, a divan, a table, and two dry-goods boxes radiated from the centre of the
room. The floor, as it showed through the interstices, was covered with a grass-green
carpet, while the curtains and hangings were of a not very subdued crimson.
“One would scarcely,” Patty remarked to the furniture in general, “call it a symphony in
colour.” Priscilla reappeared at this point with the announcement, “Peters is the most
suspicious man I ever knew!”
“Priscilla, “ said Patty, severely, “ I hope you didn’t divulge the fact that we are
hanging the walls with tapestry”- this with a wave of her hand toward the printed
cotton cloth dangling from the molding
