Larry had said that, she'd have dismissed the idea immediately. She was too buSy-knew too many people-to permit any one persons to assume that he had right to make plans for her.
 But Larry wasn't any one per- son. "WeIl have to discover what plays you want to see. And how you feel about winter sportsE"
 What she wanted! Later Daphne would wrap her. self in the warm comfort of what that meant, his complete regard for the things that would make her happy. Now she was content to listen. W And what about hockey2 And the six-day bicycle races7"
 "Love them both," she respond ed promptly. But if he had said, Do you like to stand for hours watching men. excavating?" shed have said it was her favOrite pas time.
 "We1l do them all. Let's begin with new show on Saturday Sunday, if it's clear, we might try skating and later we'll go-"
 Wait a minute" Daphne im- plored, laughing. Its Thursday now and Saturday and Sunday are so nearly here. Aren't you rushing me2" 4
 Certainly" he said, but I'm twenty-eight years old and up to now my life has been misspent. I've got to make up for those years"
 There was wonder in Daphne's eyes that looked back into his = and into the years ahead.
 
 This has never happened to me before, Daphne thought. I must be careful because anything that can open such doors to my heart-thiS new feeling of coming home-can hurt me.
 The years ahead unfolded be- fore her and tempted her to gaze on what they could mean. Not just the early happy laughing years, but those good, quiet years rolling on and weaving a lasting tapestry of the lives of a man and woman and their children.
 It frightened her that she dared to think of them, That she who had been framed to responsibility, to clear, conservative thinking, to guarding herself against thinking of her own future, should sud- denly admit their temptation. That this was her first time alone with Larry Smith and she could rush headlong into such conjecture, was little Tighten ing. , Later she would straighten it out with herself. Now, she could sip her drink and give herself to the moment.
 Saturday, it is," she said. She thought of Jennifer's method of keeping 'em dangling" Jennifer!
 Daphne looked at the watch on Larry's wrist. It was 10 minutes past 2.
 Larry, I must call Jennifer. I told her I'd be home by midnight and she might worry about me. Do you mind? I'll only be mo- ment."
 The telephone booth was out beyond the lounge at the entrance. Threading her way through the tables that crowded the edge of the dance floor, Daphne was con- trite because she had neglected to telephone Jenifer. Because she was herself so happy she re- pented her severity toward Jen- infer. She might have told Jen- infer that she could go to the party with Tuck if she had prom ised to return early.
 At first when her number didn't answer, Daphne thought that Jen- infer was sleeping but when the buzz had been prolonged and repeat ed, she knew that Jennifer had de- liberately disobeyed her orders. Why hadn't Jenifer defied her and said she was going anyway Daphne would have preferred that to Jen- nifer's doing it under cover.
 The floor show was on when she came out of the booth. The lights were dimmed save for the flood light on the dancing chorus The white light threw greenish shadows on the faces of the guests, distorted them, yet at once Daphne saw Tuck AinSley. t.a
 She withdrew into the shadows
