that he'll do the decent, generous
thing. I'm quite sure!"
Gail cringed a little at the
thought, but she said nothing. Aft
er a little, when LISA was quite
sure that Gail had committed her
self irrevocably to the summer
plans she had made for her, she
went away and left the girl free
to dress for dinner.
Gail was worried and upset. She
would miss her mother. They had
always been close, and she adored
LISA for her beauty and her
gaity and her audacity. But OF
course, if LISA wanted her to 60
and stay at Twin Oaks Gail lift
ed her head and squared ner
shoulders. Poor LISA, with all the
burden of their lives on her Shout
ders. Worrying, planning, schem-
ing, managing as best she could
on the wholly inadequate income!
Gail felt a little surge of anger
at her unknown father. What right
had he to be rolling in money
while LISA had to plan so care
fully, to swallow snubs and humil-
iations, in order to keep her pref
ty head above water?
I'll see to it that he increases
her allowance, she promised her
self resolutely. I'll make it so
darned uncomfortable for him
he'll be glad to be generous and
decent!
Whereupon she felt a little bet
ter about the whole thing and
went to dinner, arriving. the pre-
scribed five minutes before cock
tails, which she knew was consid-
cred proper by her hostess.

IS my father" said Gail, half un-
der her breath, and tried to re-
member what he was like. But
since she hadn't seer him since
she was three years old, that took
a bit of doing. There were some
things she could remember, but
she knew nov that she remem-
bered them because LISA had
told her about them.
Hes terribly anxious to have
you, and I know you'll love being
there LISA rushed on eagerly.
''It's a gorgeous old place, an
ante-bellum place, and of course
the Prentices always had scads of
money so they could keep it up.
The house is superb-red brick,
with wide galleries and floor
length windows, ard vast rooms
with priceless old furniture. And
there are hundreds and hundreds
of acres of land, the most gor-
geous woods and fields and
streams-though I don't suppose
1t is tended by slaves any more"
she broke off thoughtfully.
Despite her confusion and
shock, Gail grinned at her mother
and answered, mo, I don't sup
pose SO. I seem to have heard
that the slaves were freed some
time ago."
LISA shrugged. "Oh, of course
I know that - but when l was
there, the old slave quarters were
still occupied by the descendants
of the original slaves, and still
worked the land and did things"
There was a brief silence. and
then Gail asked quietly, 'Just
why do you want me to go to my
father, Lissa?"
LISA raised her eyebrows.
well, after all, my dear, he is
your father"
"And has ben married again
for the past ten years Or so and
has never shown the slightest de-
sire to see me-" Gail pointed out.
LISA looked slightly uncomfort-
able.
But he has, darling! well, l
didn't tell you, but since the court
awarded sole custody to me, l
saw no reason why l should let
him have you during your more
formative years. l wanted you to
grow up as you have, properly
educated, trained to take your
place ins the world as the wife of
some man who could give you the
proper background-the right set
ting. You'd never have met any
body but country OATS and yokels
down there; your father is so mad
about Twin Oaks that he is I'm
happy if he has to spend a night
away from it. So when he wrote
asking that you visit, l refused
and just didn't mention it to you,"
explained LISA earnestly.
And now?' Gail asked quietly.
LISA hesitated and then she
leaned forward and spoke frankly.
"Gail, you're old enough for me
to be able to talk straight to you,
and that's what I'm going to do.
I intend to marry Martin Kincald,
il I can. And given the proper OPP
portunity, I feel sure I can"
Gail caught her breath, but be-

she protested, "But Mother, he's
twice your age! He's-he's old"

SYNOPSIS

Gal Prentice, whose parents
had divorced when she "a a
child. knew nothing of her father,
Charles, except what her gay, ex-
travagant mother, LISA, had told
her - that he was the wealthy
owner of Twin Oaks, a fine old
southern estate. and that the
inadequate income he had settled
on them forced them to become
what LISA termed "professional
house guests" among her many
wealthy friends. Gail is surprised
when, one day, LISA ask if she
would like to spend the coming
summer with her father.
