Cousin Edgar had benevolently consented to be in Paris during the week before Fan's sailing, and the four boys were due from Germany on the same day they came up from Grenoble. Fanning and Diantha had one or two days to renew their lyric state, while Amy bought enameled powder- boxes and hat-pins in the Rue de Rivoli. Late one afternoon they drifted back to the hotel after a boat trip down the Seine, in their customary happy-go-lucky frame of mind, regardless of past and future, to be met by an... unpredicted shock. Throughout the summer Amy had been the most in- conspicuous of the party. While she could not be called vivacious, she had shown flashes of gayety and continued periods of quiet happiness. It was her first vacation since her marriage from manual labor and harassing anxieties, and she had signalized it by putting on weight. Her eyes had not quite the tragic-Muse look which had given her face its distinction, but neither had her mouth the line of long-suffering. When one thought of her at 216 THE MARRIOTTS AND THE POWELLS 217 all, one was conscious that she must have been a rather charming young girl; but for the most part she held no one's active attention.
