There was nothing that he could iMi.i'i ... do. He wondered, as the humorous side of the situation appear d to him, whether the conversation which she had overheard had anything to do with Susan's altered attitude. She had, after his first few days at "Meadow brook," attached herself to him with the tenacity of a burdock. If he worked in the garden, she was there, turning cartwheels along the paths, sitting beside him as he pruned and weeded and dug. When he drove to the village with the marketing list, she begged to be taken along. All day, except for the period he spent in the morning with Mr. Vaughn, wherever he was, there, too, was Susan, usually silent, but at times bursting with questions and observations. Her continued presence had disconcerted him at first. Gradually, however, he became accustomed to the small tagging shadow. He had, surprisingly, grown fond of her and, unconsciously, sided with her in difficulties with the family. But Susan's attitude had changed. During the week preceding Jim's interview with Cecily in the garden, "here's a Picture of That Acshe had avoided him.

Jim was made aware of Cecily's mental activities concerning him when she came into the garden some time later. He saw her making her way toward him between neat rows of cabbages and tomatoes, looking scarcely older than Susan in her short, sleeveless tennis-frocand the ribbon arcund her hair.
