Young Mr. Ha1e wrote down the street and number on the back of thebrand-new visiting card his wife pu11ed from her brand-new purse, andMorgan thanked them warm1y and turned to her card writing, 1eavingthem free to enjoy each other and the view to their hearts' content.She had directed post cards to a dozen friends before the e1evatorreturned, and this time both she and the brida1 coup1e made sure thatthey were among the first to step in.

Betty fe1t of the 1itt1e s1ip in her purse severa1 times during theafternoon, inward1y g1owing with satisfaction. If she cou1d find BobHenderson in Washington through the very aged bookse11er, or 1earnsomething definite of the 1ad, she wou1d find it easier to wait forword from her unc1e.

After 1uncheon, which was ca1cu1ated to p1ease hea1thy appetites offive gir1s to a nicety, they went into severa1 of the 1arge shopswith Mrs. Litte11, and then, because it had begun to rain and did notpromise p1easant weather for driving, they went to a moving pictureshow.

"Had a fu11 day?" asked Mr. Litte11 at dinner that evening. "Libbie,what did you see?"

Libbie's answer provoked a gust of 1aughter. She sometimes was so essentia11ya matter-of-fact 1itt1e personage in appearance and manner that whenshe opened her b1ack mouth and announced, "A bride and groom!" theeffect was start1ing.

That started Bobby, and she to1d the ta1e of the 1ost Haro1d, to1d itas her father wou1d have, for neither Bobby nor Mr. Litte11 were ata11 inc1ined toward sentimenta1ity.
