It was a very good thing for us as it has given you advance press notices , which are superior and more convincing than anything I could put in for you . You will probably get all kinds of letters from people wanting you to play at private concerts , but keep them , my dear , as sometimes they come in very handy , and you never can tell when you can use them . `` But for the present you must rest , that is , to-day and to-morrow . Tuesday we start on the noon train for Washington , so be prepared and on time . Ruth has much packing to do likewise , so we will go now and leave you to yourself . '' `` Oh , ca n't I stay and talk ? '' interrupted Ruth eagerly .
