Just as she had turned her

CHAPTER 25


On a Saturday late in Novem-
Der Diana telephoned Beatrice
that she was coming to spend the
night in the house on the hill.
I'D love it, Di. Drive slowly,
and I'll walk down to meet you.
Haven't been out lately"
Diana dressed in a leisurely
way and was late getting started.
Then, rolling gingerly down the
drive through a sodden, dismal
rain she met Noddy and Toddy
coming to while away a dull aft
ernOon. When they heard she
was bound for the Gregorys they
insisted on going along and
crowded into the seat, beginning
to gossip excitedly about Benny
and Ann.
Diana paid scant attention, for
everybody was talking about the
Blacks-still speculating, wonder
ing. For, contrary to anticipa-
tion, Ann had made no attempt to
step into the crowd. Indeed, she
had appeared only twice at big
parties at the Yacht Club. Diana
had exchanged q few words with
her on one of these occasions.
Benny she had not seen at all.
Things were easier than she had
thought they would be. Still. the
gossip depressed her, and she was
glad when she saw Ann coming
along the street, moving gloomily
without umbrella Or raincoat.
See what I'm bringing your
Diana called, and the boys de-
clared it was about time they
were being invited to the honey
moon home.
Beatrice greeted them hesi-
family, an odd embarrassment in
her manner. "Of course we'd
love to have you come--some time.
You see, we're not quite ready
for guests yet. Not for anyone
but Di"
The two chuckled over that
"a fine old stall! You and Norm
keeping to yourselves-say. that =;

But Diana sent them away.
