Then her instinctive. unreasoning desire to protect. her parents from knowledge of Cherry's foolish phil- andering with a. married man and to shield Cherry-greedy. selfish. lovely little Cherry—from the consequences of her escapade. no matter how far it had gone. forced an artificial smile of welcome to her lips. honeyed her voice with a false sweetness.
