Many of Carley's friends had neither the leisure nor the means to go away from the city during the summer.

Some there were who might have afforded that if they had seen fit to live in less showy apartments, or to dispense with cars.

Other of her best friends were on their summer outings in the Adirondacks.

Carley decided to go with her aunt to Lake Placid about the first of August.

Meanwhile she would keep going and doing.
She had been a week in town before Morrison telephoned her and added his welcome.
