"All right,"? Angela said, in displeasure, ‘‘if you want to lie." "I didn't lie!"' "You practically did,'' Angela persisted. Sheila's expression grew suddenly disarming and young. "Listen, Angie.

"There's worse things than death, if the truth were known," the older woman observed solemnly. "Sheila!" Angela called sharply. "Mr. Me Cann really is here!" "What!" they could hear Sheila gasp in a sharp whisper. She came to the door of the sun porch; she saw him, tall and dark and smiling . "Well, really, Angela,"' she said, in the last stage of horror and exasperation. ‘‘Really!'' "Well, what else could I do?" Angela retorted, aggrieved. "I don't know what you'll think-I never dreamed-I wish I could remember what I said-how are you?'"' Sheila said, looking so lovely in her confusion and pleasure and anger that Frank gave an embarrassed laugh, and stammered on his own account as he greeted her. "You didn't say anything, except that your sister was to dance and sing for me, which she hasn't done." Mrs. Carscadden now majestically adding herself to the group, Frank addressed himself to her in tones not quite loud enough to drown out her scathing observation to Sheila to the effect that perhaps now, she, Sheila, wouldn't feel it necessary to wake the dead when anyone called her a message, F "I did say Sunday in my wire,'' Frank admitted, ‘but today was such a heavenly day, and I was free-'' "There was nothing said to me of | a telegram," Mrs. Carscadden assured him. ‘‘That's the manners of today,'' she continued. "They'd niver tell you annything, the lot of them.
