"Now, Patty," said Cousin Tom, as they walked along the saloon, "I am going / to hand you over to the stewardess, who will show you your stateroom. Go / with her, and she will look after you. I think you would better leave off / that heavy coat, as it is too chilly outside to permit of going on deck, / and the atmosphere within is quite warm. Ah, here she is. Stewardess, this / is Miss Fairfield and here is her stateroom key. See to it that she is made / comfortable."
As Mr. Fleming supplemented his request with a pecuniary argument, the / stewardess made Patty her especial charge, and assiduously looked after her / comfort.
