But Emily said, "Martha, who was that awful man you were dancing with?"
Her tone surprised Martha.
"Oh," she said, "that was Sandy. You know Sandy Powers. I had to dance with him. He was in my high school——"
"I don't mean him! I know Sandy! I mean that dark person you had this last dance with!"
Martha gave a giggle of amusement.
"Don't you know who that was?" she demanded. She seemed to think it a great joke. "Why, mother, that's Eve's brother-in-law!"
"I didn't know her brother-in-law was here. When did he come?"
"He just came to-day. I thought, of course, she would have introduced him. Oh, mother, he's an interesting man. He's been everywhere. I'll bring him over to you."
"I don't like him!"
Emily ruffled was so rare a sight that Martha seemed to enjoy it.
