And then her attention was rude- ly switched trom her own personal feelings to concern over her chief. “It happened .his way.” Cilia set- ted into @ deep chair and lighted a elgarette with a deliberation which Judith recognized as a forerunner of something important. “Letty Canfield decided to take a Post graduate course in matrimony, nd ! was sent over to the court house to check on her first mistake.
