Henry Thorne was waiting for them when they reached home.
“All done?” he asked.
Helen nodded wearily. “The picture is and we may be too.”
“Why?”
“Won’t it depend on how our work shows up whether we get any more rôles?”
“Yes, I suppose so,” said her father, “but I could push you into some minor parts in other films.”
“Now you’re wrong, Dad. We don’t want that any more than you would want to do it.”
“I guess you’re right, dear. I did give you a boost with Billy and if you didn’t make good on ‘Broad Valley’ there’s little more that I can do.”
They were silent for a time. Helen’s mother, who had been to a neighborhood picture house, came home and they went into the dining room where a cold lunch was ready for them.
“I hear you had some unusual experiences,” said Helen’s father.
