At
five-thirty
when
the
orchestrelle
was
silenced
for
lack
of
customers
and
a
sign
reading
"
Next
Concert
7.30
"
hung
up
,
they
were
still
dancing
.
After
that
they
went
for
an
ice-cream
soda
,
then
for
something
to
eat
,
and
by
then
,
so
swiftly
had
sped
the
time
,
it
was
necessary
to
take
the
very
next
car
for
the
depot
at
Fonda
.
As
they
neared
this
terminal
,
both
Clyde
and
Roberta
were
full
of
schemes
as
to
how
they
were
to
arrange
for
to-morrow
.
For
Roberta
would
be
coming
back
then
and
if
she
could
arrange
to
leave
her
sister
's
a
little
early
Sunday
he
could
come
over
from
Lycurgus
to
meet
her
.
They
could
linger
around
Fonda
until
eleven
at
least
,
when
the
last
train
south
from
Homer
was
due
And
pretending
she
had
arrived
on
that
they
could
then
,
assuming
there
was
no
one
whom
they
knew
on
the
Lycurgus
car
,
journey
to
that
city
.
And
as
arranged
so
they
met
.
And
in
the
dark
outlying
streets
of
that
city
,
walked
and
talked
and
planned
,
and
Roberta
told
Clyde
something
--
though
not
much
--
of
her
home
life
at
Biltz
.
But
the
great
thing
,
apart
from
their
love
for
each
other
and
its
immediate
expression
in
kisses
and
embraces
,
was
the
how
and
where
of
further
contacts
.
They
must
find
some
way
,
only
,
really
,
as
Roberta
saw
it
,
she
must
be
the
one
to
find
the
way
,
and
that
soon
.
For
while
Clyde
was
obviously
very
impatient
and
eager
to
be
with
her
as
much
as
possible
,
still
he
did
not
appear
to
be
very
ready
with
suggestions
--
available
ones
.
But
that
,
as
she
also
saw
,
was
not
easy
.
For
the
possibility
of
another
visit
to
her
sister
in
Homer
or
her
parents
in
Biltz
was
not
even
to
be
considered
under
a
month
.
And
apart
from
them
what
other
excuses
were
there
?
New
friends
at
the
factory
--
the
post
-
office
--
the
library
--
the
Y.
W.
C.
A.
--
all
suggestions
of
Clyde
's
at
the
moment
.
But
these
spelled
but
an
hour
or
two
together
at
best
,
and
Clyde
was
thinking
of
other
week-ends
like
this
.
And
there
were
so
few
remaining
summer
week-ends
.
The
return
of
Roberta
and
Clyde
,
as
well
as
their
outing
together
,
was
quite
unobserved
,
as
they
thought
.
On
the
car
from
Fonda
they
recognized
no
one
.
And
at
the
Newtons
'
Grace
was
already
in
bed
.
She
merely
awakened
sufficiently
to
ask
a
few
questions
about
the
trip
--
and
those
were
casual
and
indifferent
.
How
was
Roberta
's
sister
?
Had
she
stayed
all
day
in
Homer
or
had
she
gone
to
Biltz
or
Trippetts
Mills
?
(
Roberta
explained
that
she
had
remained
at
her
sister
's
.
)
She
herself
must
be
going
up
pretty
soon
to
see
her
parents
at
Trippetts
Mills
.
Then
she
fell
asleep
.
But
at
dinner
the
next
night
the
Misses
Opal
Feliss
and
Olive
Pope
,
who
had
been
kept
from
the
breakfast
table
by
a
too
late
return
from
Fonda
and
the
very
region
in
which
Roberta
had
spent
Saturday
afternoon
,
now
seated
themselves
and
at
once
,
as
Roberta
entered
,
interjected
a
few
genial
and
well-meant
but
,
in
so
far
as
Roberta
was
concerned
,
decidedly
troubling
observations
.
"
Oh
,
there
you
are
!
Look
who
's
back
from
Starlight
Park
.
Howja
like
the
dancing
over
there
,
Miss
Alden
?
We
saw
you
,
but
you
did
n't
see
us
.
"
And
before
Roberta
had
time
to
think
what
to
reply
,
Miss
Feliss
had
added
:
"
We
tried
to
get
your
eye
,
but
you
could
n't
see
any
one
but
him
,
I
guess
.
I
'll
say
you
dance
swell
.
"
At
once
Roberta
,
who
had
never
been
on
very
intimate
terms
with
either
of
these
girls
and
who
had
neither
the
effrontery
nor
the
wit
to
extricate
herself
from
so
swift
and
complete
and
so
unexpected
an
exposure
,
flushed
.
