JOAN MANAGED TO HOLD BACK HER TEARS UNTIL THE CHARtered twin took off from Teterboro Airport. Then, in the air, she broke down.

Anne hugged her. “The operation is easy, Joni,” she whispered. “It’ll be over in five minutes.”

“I believed it couldn’t happen,” Joan wept. “I didn’t want it to happen! I was afraid.”

She was very careful not to stare at John, who sat opposite her. The passenger cabin was configured as a sort of little living room.

“The big point,” said Jack, “is that we keep a family secret. I’m not going to press you about who it was. But could it have happened when you were visiting us in Greenwich?”

“It happened then,” Joan wept. “And that’s all I’m going to say about it. Don’t try to figure it out.”

“We’re not going to say we don’t care who it was,” Anne whispered to her. “But you don’t have to say. What difference would it make?”

Joan sobbed and nodded. “A whole lot of difference!”

“But you don’t want to tell us?” asked Jack.

“I’ll never tell!” Joan shrieked. “I’ll never tell!”

“Well, answer one question,” Jack said grimly. “Was it Dodge Hallowell?”

“No!

Anne hugged the girl tighter. “When we fly back, you’ll feel better.”

“But I’ll have killed my baby!” Joan screamed.

Anne nodded. “Just remember, there’s nobody with you on this trip who doesn’t love you.”
