Then they were whisked off to Bettina's little home for an informal afternoon, and Harry and Bob, feeling that they had indeed been model husbands, departed for their respective offices.
"The girl from Kentucky has volunteered to sing," whispered Alice to Ruth. "She's a dear. Do you suppose we can keep Aunt Jenny from talking for half an hour?"
