Dolly tried to speak lightly, but the words nearly choked her. "I dunno. Maybe you'll know about it to-morrow." "Oh, Alicia " Dolly meant to speak a word of warning or of pleading, indeed she didn't quite know what she WAS going to say, but just then, Dotty and Bernice came down stairs, and proposed they all go for a motor ride, and a last visit to the pretty tearoom.
