Kay lifted her head with a quick, restless movement. Her hands were clasped tightly | about her knees. She did not look at Larry. A little while before—that was when he had come for her before this last dance—she had been able to say. “Darling, if just once tonight I act as if it weren't simply any other | night, bop me right here, hard!” | He had taken away the small fist | she had pressed against the point of | her chin and kissed her. “Come on, little idjit, let's skip this dance.” Now she did not trust herself to | #poak at all.

I'm cold, that's all. This wind isn't like Summer. It's turned colder all at once.” “You've been such a good sport. Don't spoil things now, Kay.” “Spoil things!" Her voice was quick, bitter. She bit her lip. That was wrong. All wrong. Not what she meant to say. It was the chill wind that made her say that—the wind gentleness till they were sheeted with ice.
