I tried to get back to the station at Bancroft in time to catch the train but I could n't , and it was just as well , for Mr. Keefe was suddenly summoned home this afternoon , and when the three-thirty train from town stopped at Bancroft he was on it . I found that out and I got on , going to the next station with him and getting my interview after all . It 's here in my notebook , and I must hurry up to the office and hand it in . I suppose Mr. Harmer will be very much vexed until he finds that I have it . '' `` Oh , no . Mr. Harmer is in a very good humour , '' said Patty with dancing eyes . Then she told her story . The interview with Mr. Reefer came out with glaring headlines , and the Chronicle had its hour of fame and glory . The next day Mr. Harmer sent word to Patty that he wanted to see her . `` So Clifford is leaving , '' he said abruptly when she entered the office . `` Well , do you want his place ? '' `` Mr. Harmer , are you joking ? '' demanded Patty in amazement . `` Not I . That stuff you handed in was splendidly written -- I did n't have to use the pencil more than once or twice . You have the proper journalist instinct all right . We need a lady on the staff anyhow , and if you 'll take the place it 's yours for saying so , and the permanency next month . '' `` I 'll take it , '' said Patty promptly and joyfully . `` Good . Go down to the Symphony Club rehearsal this afternoon and report it .
You 've just ten minutes XXXXX get there , '' and Patty joyfully and promptly departed .
