 She was about to reply decisively in the negative when she stopped herself, remembering that, at all costs, she must keep her end up before the other guests. Her hazel eyes hardened until they seemed like pin points and she called back, with an attempt at gaiety "Of course I'm coming. I'm coming even if you have to carry me downstairs. I'll tell the world I am"
 She heard his footsteps retreat ing along the corridor and then although her features contracted with the pain of her ankle, she forced herself to get up off the bed and limp about the room, as she made a feeble effort to change her clothing.
 Seating herself at the vanity table she muttered under her breath I'll show you. Ray Lowther. You are not going to make a fool out of me a second time and get away with itl Never mind-I'm not going to sit around and nope for youl No, sir, I'll have a celebration I'll have the time of my life.
