who heard him last evening.
Refr shments consisting of ice

She stamped her foot. "I won't go

Morton made a gesture at her.

The girl. who had been speaking
in a high key. dropped her voice. but
repeated stubbornly: "I won't go up-
stairs until she goes out of herei"
Morton’s face set sternly. He took
Audrey by the elbow. and turning
her. led her to the stairway. At the
