She
was
all
but
speechless
and
merely
stared
,
bethinking
her
at
once
that
she
had
explained
to
Grace
that
she
was
at
her
sister
's
all
day
.
And
opposite
sat
Grace
,
looking
directly
at
her
,
her
lips
slightly
parted
as
though
she
would
exclaim
:
"
Well
,
of
all
things
!
And
dancing
!
A
man
!
"
And
at
the
head
of
the
table
,
George
Newton
,
thin
and
meticulous
and
curious
,
his
sharp
eyes
and
nose
and
pointed
chin
now
turned
in
her
direction
.
But
on
the
instant
,
realizing
that
she
must
say
something
,
Roberta
replied
:
"
Oh
,
yes
,
that
's
so
.
I
did
go
over
there
for
a
little
while
.
Some
friends
of
my
sister
's
were
coming
over
and
I
went
with
them
.
"
She
was
about
to
add
,
"
We
did
n't
stay
very
long
,
"
but
stopped
herself
.
For
at
that
moment
a
certain
fighting
quality
which
she
had
inherited
from
her
mother
,
and
which
had
asserted
itself
in
the
case
of
Grace
before
this
,
now
came
to
her
rescue
.
After
all
,
why
should
n't
she
be
at
Starlight
Park
if
she
chose
?
And
what
right
had
the
Newtons
or
Grace
or
anyone
else
to
question
her
for
that
matter
?
She
was
paying
her
way
.
Nevertheless
,
as
she
realized
,
she
had
been
caught
in
a
deliberate
lie
and
all
because
she
lived
here
and
was
constantly
being
questioned
and
looked
after
in
regard
to
her
very
least
move
.
Miss
Pope
added
curiously
,
"
I
do
n't
suppose
he
's
a
Lycurgus
boy
.
I
do
n't
remember
ever
seeing
him
around
here
.
"
"
No
,
he
is
n't
from
here
,
"
returned
Roberta
shortly
and
coldly
,
for
by
now
she
was
fairly
quivering
with
the
realization
that
she
had
been
caught
in
a
falsehood
before
Grace
.
Also
that
Grace
would
resent
intensely
this
social
secrecy
and
desertion
of
her
.
At
once
she
felt
as
though
she
would
like
to
get
up
from
the
table
and
leave
and
never
return
.
But
instead
she
did
her
best
to
compose
herself
,
and
now
gave
the
two
girls
with
whom
she
had
never
been
familiar
,
a
steady
look
.
At
the
same
time
she
looked
at
Grace
and
Mr.
Newton
with
defiance
.
If
anything
more
were
said
she
proposed
to
give
a
fictitious
name
or
two
--
friends
of
her
brother-in-law
in
Homer
,
or
better
yet
to
refuse
to
give
any
information
whatsoever
.
Why
should
she
?
Nevertheless
,
as
she
learned
later
that
evening
,
she
was
not
to
be
spared
the
refusing
of
it
.
Grace
,
coming
to
their
room
immediately
afterward
,
reproached
her
with
:
"
I
thought
you
said
you
stayed
out
at
your
sister
's
all
the
time
you
were
gone
?
"
"
Well
,
what
if
I
did
say
it
?
"
replied
Roberta
defiantly
and
even
bitterly
,
but
without
a
word
in
extenuation
,
for
her
thought
was
now
that
unquestionably
Grace
was
pretending
to
catechize
her
on
moral
grounds
,
whereas
in
reality
the
real
source
of
her
anger
and
pique
was
that
Roberta
was
slipping
away
from
and
hence
neglecting
her
.
"
Well
,
you
do
n't
have
to
lie
to
me
in
order
to
go
anywhere
or
see
anybody
without
me
in
the
future
.
I
do
n't
want
to
go
with
you
.
And
what
's
more
I
do
n't
want
to
know
where
you
go
or
who
you
go
with
.
But
I
do
wish
you
would
n't
tell
me
one
thing
and
then
have
George
and
Mary
find
out
that
it
ai
n't
so
,
and
that
you
're
just
trying
to
slip
away
from
me
or
that
I
'm
lying
to
them
in
order
to
protect
myself
.
I
do
n't
want
you
to
put
me
in
that
position
.
"
She
was
very
hurt
and
sad
and
contentious
and
Roberta
could
see
for
herself
that
there
was
no
way
out
of
this
trying
situation
other
than
to
move
.
Grace
was
a
leech
--
a
hanger-on
.
She
had
no
life
of
her
own
and
could
contrive
none
.
As
long
as
she
was
anywhere
near
her
she
would
want
to
devote
herself
to
her
--
to
share
her
every
thought
and
mood
with
her
.
And
yet
if
she
told
her
about
Clyde
she
would
be
shocked
and
critical
and
would
unquestionably
eventually
turn
on
her
or
even
expose
her
.
So
she
merely
replied
:
"
Oh
,
well
,
have
it
that
way
if
you
want
to
.
I
do
n't
care
.
I
do
n't
propose
to
tell
anything
unless
I
choose
to
.
"
And
at
once
Grace
conceived
the
notion
that
Roberta
did
not
like
her
any
more
and
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
her
.
She
arose
immediately
and
walked
out
of
the
room
--
her
head
very
high
and
her
spine
very
stiff
.
And
Roberta
,
realizing
that
she
had
made
an
enemy
of
her
,
now
wished
that
she
was
out
of
here
.
They
were
all
too
narrow
here
anyway
.
They
would
never
understand
or
tolerate
this
clandestine
relationship
with
Clyde
--
so
necessary
to
him
apparently
,
as
he
had
explained
--
so
troublesome
and
even
disgraceful
to
her
from
one
point
of
view
,
and
yet
so
precious
.
She
did
love
him
,
so
very
,
very
much
.
