"Yes, I liked her," said Philip, deserting policy for a relative truth. "But she does answer your description: she's one of those people who want to govern others for their own good."

"I don't like her," said Sophia flatly. Philip changed the subject. They spoke now of the expedition to El Farhar.

"Another reason? What?"

"I'm not sure I should tell you yet. I'm not sure myself what it is or, rather, if the rumor I've heard is true or not true. We'll find out soon enough."

Then she said that she was tired, that the sun had been very hot that day, that perhaps they should go in.

Neither Mr Willys nor Mrs Peabody heard Philip's good-night.
