an apologize glance, 'if you don't

in their silence bewildered her and she
turned sharply to Ariel Aren't you
going to announce it even now?" she
demanded.
Immediately" Ariel agreed briefly.
"Well, then! Surely Dick ought to stay
here!' Gail argued. Her keen look
moved from face to face There isn't
