CHAPTER NINE

T was a memorable honeymoon, in a way. But then, few honeymoons are ever ordinary or humdrum. Only to Bart, it looked so silly, so phony. They drove 200 miles that first day and put up at a smart resort shore hotel. There was an orchestra playing to a crowded dance floor of ) smartly garbed resorters. Every a : woman present wore evening clothes, 2 : i and the men wore smart sports out- ? Lil us nl Ps hl g 5 There were flowers, too, while they | leds sci : dined.

In the morning, Iris wanted to play golf. They rented clubs, and hired a caddy. until Iris saw the pro. Then there was nothing to it. She had to have a few lessons. She was terrible.
