And presently Geraldine asked again where Duane was.
"Rosalie Dysart is canoeing on the Gray Water, and she hailed him and he left us and went down to the river," said Kathleen carelessly.
"Did Duane join her ?" "I think so--" She hesitated, watching Geraldine's sombre eyes.

"I really don't know," she added.

And, in a lower voice: "I wish either Duane or Rosalie would go.

They certainly are behaving unwisely." Geraldine turned and looked through the woods toward the Gray Water.
"It's their affair," she said curtly.
