But that could do no good, for there was the marriage recorded in the registers of New York State. Meanwhile, things were not going well with others. There befell a day when matters came to a crisis in the Grier family. Since Fabian's marriage with Junia Shale's sister, Sybil, he had become discontented with his position in his father's firm.
A peculiar smile distorted Miss Shale's full red lips. Without another word she mounted her machine and rode away up the elm avenue. Now Mrs. Rockett had seen this encounter, and heard the words exchanged: she was lost in consternation. 'What do you mean by behaving like that, May? Why, I was running out myself to open, and then I saw you were there, and, of course, I thought you'd do it.
The hostess, who made no personal application of Miss Shale's remark, began to discuss the prices of bicycles, and others chimed in. May fretted under this turn of the conversation.
