Elizabeth woke up the next morning hoping the previous evening had all been a bad dream. Helen had been waiting up, her head drooping over the latest issue of Vogue, when Elizabeth got home. Elizabeth had claimed extreme fatigue and hurried off to bed before Helen had been able to ask any questions.

There was no chance of avoiding her mother’s questions at breakfast, however.

“Did you have a nice time at the party last night?” Helen said, sectioning off a piece of her grapefruit.

“Yes,” Elizabeth said.

“Did Phillips have a good time?” Helen said, glancing slyly at Elizabeth.

“I suppose so.”

Helen sighed in frustration.

Elizabeth scraped the last spoonful of boiled egg from the shell, gobbled down the last bit of crust from her toast and pushed her plate away.

“Where are you off to in such a hurry, dear?” Helen said.

“I’m going to the office. I have some pictures to develop.”

“Must you? On a Sunday?” Helen made a face. “If you insist on working, can’t you find something less demanding? Minnie said her daughter had her coming-out picture taken by a woman photographer. You could do something like that if you must take pictures.”

“I suppose I could,” Elizabeth said, kissing her mother’s cheek. “I’ll see you later.”
