It was Arline , not she , who was in the wrong , she mused resentfully . She was rather glad , after all , that Arline had not been at home . Glancing undecidedly toward Wayne Hall , then at her watch , Grace set off in the opposite direction at a rapid walk . It was five o'clock .

She hurried toward the nearest dry goods store , so intent upon reaching there that she paid little or no attention to the people she passed in the street . Shopping at this late hour proved a comparatively easy matter .
