CHAPTER THREE
That evening Margot found her-
self in the very situation to which
she had looked forward for the
longest time. She was home, alone,
with nothing to do but read and
enjoy a blissful but well-earned
rest. Her father and sister \rickey
were out. Even Bul'I:on. the family
butler, had talten the evening oft.
The house was beautifully quiet.
Somehow, it was too quiet. Atter
a half }lour of solitude. Margot
realized she was bored. She sat
back o)1 her chaise longue and.
frowned into space. Suddenly, she
put down her book and reached
for the phone'. In another moment
she hall put through a call to the
Sherry Plaza and asked for Jeff's
suite.
"Hello?" .lett answered.
"Hello?" she said gayly. "This is
Margot Sherwood, — remember me?
1 just got in and there was a mess-
age for me to call a 'Mr. Rombliu
--or' Tonner•--Thomas—i couldn't
quite make out the butler's writing
and the only person I know whose
name it alight fit was Tbonmpson."
"Well — it wtesti t. me," he said
shortly. ':Sorry.'
She }lung up, terribly annoyed
at herself and him. immediately phone ran,,
afterward, it was Ji4f. He meant
to phone her, he lied. Would she
please spend the evening with him?
That was rhe first. of a series of
dates.
Last Evening Together
Jeff kept putting off the date for
his return to Ohio as long as he
possibly could. But, the day finally
came which found. them spending
their last evening together.
He chose a night elub tor the
occasion. Frankly, he hated them;

slowly. "When we ni.et I could have

Moon mi. Does Nothing
To, Affect Weather
:Boon and weather: Besides
believing that the moon affects
one when sleeping in its light,
('aurin(; insanity and perhaps
other things, many feel that the
m0011 affects the weather. There
are rules for planting
crops in .•elation to the moon's
phases, which are rigidly observ-
ed. One moonweather supersti-
tion is the belief in a wet and
a dry moon. R wet moon is one
with the horns of its crescent
pointing nearly up. for then it
holds water; the dry Moon has its
horns pointing down. The fact
that many believe just the oppo-
site, that is a wet moon is one
with its horns pointing down (for
then it empties its water en the
earth) should be enough to dis-
credit all teachings of the moon's
affecting the weather.
