 Hubby glanced at Jo apprehen- sively. "Who was that? Peter Fra gonet?"
 "Yes we're having break fast with him."
 "So I heard" said Hubby. But you can count me out
 "Nonsense, Hubby! l want you to come"

 "Oh, that was Silas Dram" laughed. Jo "Peter Fragonet's not like that"

 Fragonet looked relieved. "That's fine! I was afraid you might say you'd made up your mind not O return to Hollywood with me. But if you've made no decision, then I've still hope"
 "But you see, T."
