CHAPTER TWO

Thinking Of them, Daphne saw
the other side Of the coun terfeit
coin. and . shiyer ran over her.
Too well could she remember the
shabby hotels; the third class
trains, the filthy boat quarters
the gay Bohemians unwashed, liv-
ing like animals -. The smells, the
squalor seemed to steal into the
Pullman car. She heard again the

Now, at last, she was going 10

In the long mirror beside her
chair was evidence that she'd got

the crown Of her small black hat.
Gold CLEANED at the tips Of her
ears, on the lapel of her black suit
jacket, and at her wrists over her

real. Everything she had bought
was the best. There would be no
more limitations for her, no more
make-believe.
Her eyes dropped TO the yellow
orchids pinned to the collar Of her
topcoat- Alan Pembroke had
bought them for her at the hotel
where they lunched before he put
her on the train.
The orchids disturbed and
pleased Daphne. II was really very
sweet Of him to buy them, even
though it was sort of a professional
gesture. 1t hadn't been, she
thought, that he just wanted to see
her again after that first meeting

SYNOPSIS

Daphne Willoughby Abruzzi,
married when II and a widow at
rs, is returning home after an alb
senee of twelve years, eight of
which were spent in Paris, London,
and Naples. After her husbands
death, she worked four years for
Corinne Hollis, a New York deco
rator. As the train Is nearing North
Wintridge, Daphne thinks of the
many letters which she wrote to
her friend, Kate Dennison. These
had described her life with the ro-
mantle Carlo, her musician hus-
band concert tours, villas, gay
bohemian affairs Daphne had
certainly let her fancy soar in those
letters.
