Standing beside Dick in the quiet street, Sheila said none of these things. It was he who final- ly broke the silence.

"Would you like a taxi," he asked, "or shall we take the bus? I don't think it will be crowded at this hour. Wonderful car Dorothy has, don't you think so?" "It's marvelous," Sheila agreed. "Foreign, isn't it! I've never seen one like it."...

"There's always Mandrake," Dick suggested thoughtfully.

"I doubt if he'd give me any thing now."

She and Dick parted without making any definite arrangements to meet again. Somehow this hurt Sheila. She knew that she had treated Dick badly. Still to have him appear neglectful was a blow..
