Patty comes out among the flowers
The story opens on the day of Patty's debut. Her drawing room is so full of florist's boxes that she sits on the floor among roses and orchids. One large box of Killarney roses comes from William Farnsworth, a friend far away in Arizona.
Patty jokes about the thank-you notes and about shaking so many hands that she sounds like a trained parrot. She tells her old friend Kenneth that she will never really grow up.
Then Mona's father, a Chicago man who dotes on his daughter, speaks to her privately. He fears a young man named Lansing is courting Mona for her fortune. Patty thinks she may be able to help, so a pleasant party carries a worry inside it.
