The scene with Marion came one Sunday in the Spencer house, with
Natalie asleep up-stairs after luncheon, and Clayton walking off
a sense of irritation in the park. He did not like the Hayden
girl. He could not fathom Natalie's change of front with regard
to Graham and the girl. He had gone out, leaving them together,
and Marion had launched her attack fiercely.
"Now!" she cried.
"I couldn't come last night. That's all, Marion."
"It is certainly not all. Why couldn't you come?"
"I worked late."
"Where?"
"At the plant."
"That's a lie, Graham. I called the plant. I'll tell you where
you were. You were out with a girl. You were seen, if you want
to know it."
"Oh, if you are going to believe everything you hear about me?"
"Don't act like a child. Who was the girl?"
"It isn't like you to be jealous, Marion. I let you run around all
the time with other fellows, but the minute I take a girl out for a
little spin, you're jealous."
"Jealous!" She laughed nastily.
