Patty seemed a little quiet as she and Roger drove to the station, for she was thinking how foolish Elise was, and what a lot of trouble she could stir up, if she chose to indulge in that stupid jealousy of Christine. If Christine had been more able to resent it, and take her own part, it would not have been so bad, but she was so sensitive to the slightest coldness, and so afraid of seeming to impose on Patty's friendship, that it made the situation a little difficult.
But Roger's gay banter revived Patty's drooping spirits, and, when they reached the station, they were in a gale of laughter over some joking nonsense.
