The inner circle closed around
Judy. The young people who be-.

the blue book and the social register
lined up with Judy. The others, not
in it themselves, and closer friends
of Abbey's, made her cohort.

eyes were lazy, amused, a trifie
cynical. He had a small black
mustache, a disarming smile, dark
hair, stubborn chin.

to admit that a paid worker in the

far, far across the Sound. In the
house she felt like a prisoner. IN
der the dark canopy Of the silver
bright stars she was free. This
beauty she knew.
She came back in an hour tired,
sleepy, at peace. The side door was
locked. She rang a bell but no one
answered. There were lots of doors,
she decided. One Of them would
be open. She crossed to the south
side of the house, but there was no
response at the two doors there.
She found another one, and rang
in vain. Apparently the servants
were busy elsewhere, or callers
were using the wide front door.
She had avoided that entrance
purposely, fearing she might run
into the dinner party. Well, there
was no help. She would avert her
face if she met anyone and slip UNI
obtrusively up the stairs.
She knew she had made a mis-

knock sounded on her door. She
expected white-aproned maid to
ask If she might help her unpack.
Instead Abbey Boland herself
stepped into the room.
Abbey was beautiful. Judy grant
ed her that instantly. Her hair
was honey-gold. Her eyes were
dark purple under long, curly,
black lashes. She was taller than
average, and quite slender. Her
dress was a twilight lavender, and
slippers of darker hue were on her
feet. Her slim silver bracelets
were set with amethysts.
The dream lasted until she spoke.
Her voice was too high, too rapid,
as though it hurried to overtake a
phrase which always ran ahead.

Abbey stated instead of asking.
"Are your comfortable ?"
"Oh, yes.- very. It's a delightful
room. like the view Of the Sound

and when she did she looked very
young, almost scared.
