It was the way she did ft that counted. she took in the situation at @ glance, and that glance left nothing to be said. Unfortunately, the author let the hus bard talk too much in the next breath. A neglected husband jan't the most sym- pathetic object in the world, especially the tennis court. And thin one aired his grievances very bad- ly. Kate didn't play with him any more She gave all her time to the children. Sh was & nurse, not a pal. In short, she wasn't the girt he had merried.
