CHAPTER vi.

The meeting Of Daphne and her new
s~ister-in-law was not what either would
have expected or selected. Daphne
was tired in body and soul, ~tiscour.
aged, footsore and dismayed about her
love and her lover. She had reached
the door of the apartment in the mood
of a wa%ve-buffeted, outswum castaway,
eager for nothing but to lie down in
the sand and sleep.
Daphne could imagine the feelings
Of her brothers. wife when she
reached her home after a long ocean
voyage, a night landing, the custom
house ordeal, and the cab ride among
the luggage, and found a mother-in-
law asleep in her bed and a sister-in-
law yet to arrive!
Bayard and Leila, serene in the be-
lief that Daphne and her mother had
gone back to Cleveland, entered the
apartment without formality and went
about switching on lights, recovering
their little home from the night with
magic instantaneity.
Mother Kip's awakening came from
the light that Bayard flashed in his
bedroom. Leila had a lovable dispo-
sition, but she was tired, and all the
way up in the overloaded cab she had
thought longingly of the beautiful bed
in her own new home, and had prom
Used herself a quick plunge into it for
a long stay. How could she rejoice to
find a strange woman there-even
though she bore the sacred name of
mother-in-law?
Mother Kip ordered Bayard and
Leila out of their own room and when
she was ready to be seen she had so
many apologies to make and accept
that the meeting entirely lacked the
rapture it should have expressed. Even
a mother could hardly be glad to see
her son in such d~iscouraging circum-
stances. All three exchanged ques-
tons more and more p%erfunctorily, and
kept repeating themselves. The most
popular question was, II wonder where
Daphne is?"
They could not know that she was
hobbling down the wilderness of Riv-
erside drive. She, to9, was thinking
longingly of her bed. But long before
she reached it her mother had moved
in and established herself across q
good deal more than half Of it. 1t was
a smallish bed in a smallish bedroom.
Leila fell asleep in her tub and
might have drowned without noticing
the difference if her yawning husband
hau not saved her life-and very clev-
erly: he was too tired to lift her from
the water, so he lifted the stopper and
let the water escape from her. She al
most resented the rescue, but event
ually got herself to bed in Il prettiy
sullen stupOr.
From some infinite depth of peace
she a dragged up protesting. Bayard
