In silence Sylvia watched the headlights
pick out the white posts along the state road.
She shot quick glance at her mother behind
the wheel of the little coupe, then looked

deceiving and foolish Sylvia was darned if
she was going to speak first. She was darned
if she was. And Lucinda didn't seem to have
anything to say.

looked at her mother coldly. Il suppose
you're doing this to discipline me?"

''See here, Mother, you haven't let that
man get around you. have you?"
Get around me? l don't see what you
mean, dear. Mr.. Roy has certainly meant to
be nothing except polite and friendly"
