Joan laughed: Mother would never understand!

"I thought you despised adven- turers, dear."

"Some of them," Joan said. Nevertheless she was lonely. And when Dick called that night she accepted his invitation to din- ner almost eagerly. It wasn't bad to have someone to go about with who was as nice as Dick and as devoted. It would be safe to marry Dick.

They saw Jean Harlow in her latest picture and then drove by the Green Grill for sandwiches. It was almost one o'clock when they returned. Joan told Dick goodnight at the door and pared to turn the key.
