"
Come
,
Gloria
,
"
called
Mrs.
Weston
.
"
I
've
saved
you
a
seat
near
the
window
so
you
can
watch
the
scenery
.
"
192
Gloria
trotted
down
the
aisle
cheerily
,
flattened
her
nose
into
a
white
oval
against
the
thick
clear
glass
,
and
watched
with
an
intentness
that
increased
as
the
sudden
coughing
of
the
motor
drifted
backward
into
the
interior
.
She
was
too
young
to
be
frightened
when
the
ground
dropped
away
as
if
let
through
a
trap-door
and
she
herself
suddenly
became
twice
her
usual
weight
,
but
not
too
young
to
be
mightily
interested
.
It
was
n't
until
the
ground
had
changed
into
a
tiny
patch-work
quilt
that
she
withdrew
her
nose
,
and
faced
her
mother
again
.
193
"
Will
we
soon
be
in
the
city
,
Mamma
?
"
she
asked
,
rubbing
her
chilled
nose
,
and
watching
with
interest
as
the
patch
of
moisture
which
her
breath
had
formed
on
the
pane
shrank
slowly
and
vanished
.

"
In
about
half
an
hour
,
dear
.
"
Then
,
with
just
the
faintest
trace
of
anxiety
,
"
Are
n't
you
glad
we
're
going
?
Do
n't
you
think
you
'll
be
very
happy
in
the
city
with
all
the
buildings
and
people
and
things
to
see
?
We
'll
go
to
the
visivox
every
day
and
see
shows
and
go
to
the
circus
and
the
beach
and
-
"

"
Yes
,
Mamma
,
"
was
Gloria
's
unenthusiastic
rejoinder
.
The
liner
passed
over
a
bank
of
clouds
at
the
moment
,
and
Gloria
was
instantly
absorbed
in
the
usual
spectacle
of
clouds
underneath
one
.
Then
they
were
over
clear
sky
again
,
and
she
turned
to
her
mother
with
a
sudden
mysterious
air
of
secret
knowledge
.
196
"
I
know
why
we
're
going
to
the
city
,
Mamma
.
"
197
"
Do
you
?
"
Mrs.
Weston
was
puzzled
.
"
Why
,
dear
?
"

"
You
did
n't
tell
me
because
you
wanted
it
to
be
a
surprise
,
but
I
know
.
"
For
a
moment
,
she
was
lost
in
admiration
at
her
own
acute
penetration
,
and
then
she
laughed
gaily
.
"
We
're
going
to
New
York
so
we
can
find
Robbie
,
are
n't
we
?
-
With
detectives
.
"

The
statement
caught
George
Weston
in
the
middle
of
a
drink
of
water
,
with
disastrous
results
.
There
was
a
sort
of
strangled
gasp
,
a
geyser
of
water
,
and
then
a
bout
of
choking
coughs
.
When
all
was
over
,
he
stood
there
,
a
red-faced
,
water-drenched
and
very
,
very
annoyed
person
.

Mrs.
Weston
maintained
her
composure
,
but
when
Gloria
repeated
her
question
in
a
more
anxious
tone
of
voice
,
she
found
her
temper
rather
bent
.
