 CHAPTER lrr SSW1ELI, we'll" said Q deep bass
 W voice with pleased common. dalton, ESQ this is Kittyl Welcome Co Dofemus the Beautiful We're the welcoming committee Mrs. Bishop. the name ls Mac0reFor, and [ have with me our Mir Sea ton.n
 'llow do you do,n said Kitty to both of them. The Macuregor per. son took up 50 much room with his large frame and his noise that for a minute the tall, quiet man bee hind him hadn't registered on her atentlon.
 T." went on Macoregor, "am the Grahams' dark horse. Some morning I expect to wake up with a start about five and find they've taken me out to clock my time around the course"
 Not me, you won't" said Peg. Randall, won't you sit downp Didn't you and Mag go on with the party idea after all9"
 Yes" said Randall Seaton, that is, it isn't party but Q few people came over for while"
 What about me?" interrupted Mac, ''can't I sit down2"
 Peg told him in a resigned tone that she knew 1t wasn't necessary to ask him to sit down, and turned back to Randall Randall was lock- ing at Kitty with the pleased, in- credulous expression of a man who has found a spring in the desert.
 "oh dear" thought Pag. "oh dearI"
 Mag" said Mac cheerfuny, sent us over"
 Peg looked so skeptical that he admitted he'd thought of 1t first but Nag agreed.
 we all decided" he said per- suasively, that you'd better change your minds and come on back with us and bring your gorgeous relative along"
 TrTTY reused herself from the N pleasure that overwhelmed her at seeing in Randall's eyes the ex- precision she had missed most keeI1- ly for the past three months: the look that assured her her hap piness and well-being was prin- cipal concern to someone.
 Peg" she said accusingly, with 6 new relaxed warmth in her voice, Peg, did you stay home and miss something because of me?"
 Ben insisted that the only plan of Pegs her coming had changed had been his wife's plan for him to clean the cellar
 And that" Peg promised him, 'can be done just as well tomor- row"
 "rI helpl" said Mac, meanwhile examining Kitty at his leisure I'm wonderful in a cellar"
 T don't doubt it." said Peg. And I know you'd rather do anything than write, but"
 Writer" said Kitty interroga- lively.
 Mac" explained Peg, ''is doing a book that our Ben's company's going to publish. When it comes out, our Ben is going to retire and the Grahams will live the rest of their lives on the income from the sales bonus. Randall, it's lovely of Mag to want us, but tell her I think Kitty's little tired and any, way Ben and sort of wanted Kitty to ourselves for a."
 Of course" said Randall. "1 can understand how you would. And so did Mag. It's just that Mac"
 T thought so." said Peg.
 Ben looked at Peg reproachfully and made nasty amends for what he clearly considered his wife's breach of hospitality. Come on, Mac," he said, give me hand. We were just going to have a drink all around"
