Elise retrieved her ermine coat
slipping her bare arms into it,
and trailing her black velvet to
where Mark stood, the center of
a small knot of girls.
Thanks, Mark darling, for
everything" She put her hand in
his, managing to suggest delic-
ious, unspoken possibilities. Mark
held her hand for a second, and
put it gently down, looking a
trifle confused. "Could you-like

But she looked anything but
sweet later, wedged in between
two bright young things with Rex
and riotous boy on the fold-up
seats before her and shrill re-
miniscences of the night filling
the car.
Valerie burst into Lucy's bed
room late the next morning to
find Lucy pale and listless over a
practically untouched breakfast
tray. Mark had insisted on holt
days, so lessons were off for a
week.
"When you didn't come down
for breakfast, I thought some
thing must be wrong" cried Val
erie. II ran up as soon as I had
finished. I was going to swim in
the Kenwood's indoor pool, but
won't go now. It won't take me a
minute to telephone"
Lucy drew her down and kis-

She was almost frightened at the

"Why-you belong here. You be-

Crying? Certainly not! Would

Valerie kissed her and went
out. Lucy was glad to see that the

She sat until lunchtime trying
to think the think through. She
had known since her first night

plain enough. Elise wanted Mark.
