Ordinarily, too, nothing could have been so pleasantly diverting as to watch Beth dance even from this distance and with the foreshortened view. But today there existed most unusual, not to say unhappy, circumstances: Beth and Bennie were on the outs. It had all happened out of a clear sky. For almost a year they had gone together with never a quarrel And In the past few months plans for marriage had become a frequent topic between them As soon as Bennie completed his study of wireless, there would be a government position waiting Perhaps he would be sent to some romantic spot and Beth would go with him as bis wife.
