If the boss isnt here by seven-thirtwe'U sit down without him, she promised. It's getting cold, Dick, will you light the fire? "Sure will."

Nothing had happened this afternoon. Nothing had happened except within herself. Everything that had made her feel so strong and happy as she drove home through the canyon was still there.

He went first to the door Okay. and called the others. Want to come in here? Fire going." "In a minute. Cherry called back. Got to wash our hands first those magazines were so awfully dusty. Is the boss in?" "Not yet, but mother says we can have dinner at seven-thirt- y anyw4y. So hurry up." The gas flame sparkled up to ignite the logs piled in the grate. Dick swished the gin and vermouth. Though he was not allowed to drink cocktails himself, he enjoyed the feeling of adulthood it gave him to play bartender. What a nice boy he she was, Elizabeth thought a watched him. Dick asked, Like a drink now? I believe I would. Tm a bit tired. He poured It out for her, and watched while she tasted it How's that?" "Very good. You could get a Job. TU be needing one If that physics guy gets much tougher. Oh heUo he said as Cherry and the there, two others came in. They greeted Elizabeth, and Julia said.

It was a relief to turn her attention to her ordinary affairs, to observe her children as normal healthy youngsters hungry for their dinner, to reach for a cigarette and have both Dick and Pudge strike matches for her. She accepted the light from Pudge, and smiled across it at Dick as ha blew out tha match he had struck. Dick, our guest tomorrow night is a Mr. .Kessler, from Germany.

The Architect who planned to Jellaby Home, had not counted on taking care of 200 Guests at one time, consequently when the big Doings were pulled off, about half of toe Ringside Spectators were parked in HaUways or Closets or on the Stairway.
