I don't know when I'll get home.”
Florence got in, Uncle Joseph
closed the door, and the car slowly
bumped onward.
“You know where Herbert 18?” Un-

“No,” said Florence,

“I do,” he said, “Herbert and your
friend Henry Rooter came to our house

just inside that door, In the hall with
one of his great-aunts, one of his
aunts, two aunts-by-marriage, and an
