The door opened and Eileen came in. “Okay if I join you?” she asked.
“Come on in,” Sally answered. “We’re having a time roasting Dr. Benson. Lucy went out with him last night.”
“So that’s what was behind the remark you made in class,” Eileen said. “Well, how was it?”
“We went to a movie,” Lucy continued. “Then the dear doctor started to make a play for poor little me....”
“Oh, goodness, Lucy!” Eileen interrupted. “You aren’t actually telling them all about your date!”
“She went out with him on a sort of a dare,” Sally explained.
Eileen shook her head. “Even so,” she said, “it doesn’t seem right to talk about it. It’s sort of unkind, don’t you think?”
Sally grinned. “He has it coming. You know perfectly well he’s been chasing everyone in sight ever since he got here. The perfect redhead, disposition and all.”
Jean shook her head. “I think Eileen’s right,” she said.
“Oh, for heaven’s sake!” Sally cried. “Now all at once Dr. Benson is perfectly okay, and we aren’t to betray his confidences.”
