...lolls in bed turning a hangover into a case of overwork. Rosamond dreams, as far as her knowledge will permit, of violent love at the hands of Wesley, the chauffeur. Only Isabel, the youngest, is up & about, playing in the pools that have unaccountably appeared in the San Andreas canyon's dry streambed. Old Pryor, Ethel's father, is also up-stealing down the back stairs to beg a cup of coffee from Hertha, the German girl, before Ethel, who favors Postum and orange juice for the aged, can intervene...

Centre Hawkins had had to allow his home to be searched for "papers," had allowed himself to be held in custody by two private detectives in a cottage at Topango Canyon while the search was made. Finding the suspicions unjustified, Coach Howard Jones apologized to Centre Hawkins in the presence of the Southern California football team.
