She laid down the little worn book just as the soft notes of the gong floated up from the lower hall. Elinor looked at them with a little quick sigh of excited envy. "I'll remember," laughed Judith, her anticipation of the delights of lunching at the Academy with grown-up artists shining in her starry eyes. "I'm perfectly crazy over it. I'm going to write all about it in my diary.".
