SOMEONE LIKE JANE / ELLEN GLADNEY, STARCHED AND jewel-bedecked, swooped suddenly upon DeUa and Katy, who were mopping up spilled "No!" she insisted, "MeIUe will do that. Stop right now!" Mrs. Gladney then paused a long moment to look DeUa up and down. "Now DeUa dear, don't you look pretty? Where's your date?" DeUa's eyes darted to the floor. "And Katy, where is your date?" Katy shrugged. "What sort of boys are these? Who is your date, Katy?" "Billy BerkhaU," Katy responded, too happy to be free of DeUa to be annoyed at Mrs. Gladness intrusion. "Why," Mrs. Gladney said, "there's Billy now." The unsuspecting boy had happened by the French doors to the patio at just the wrong time. "Mister BerkhaU!" Mrs. Gladney caUed. A süght, pale boy with wispy blond hair that had begun to recede, BUIy sauntered over. Cozy under his arm was a teddy bear he'd won knocking "SweU party, Mrs. Gladney." "BiUy, what would your mother say about you leaving your date all alone Uke this? I'm of a mind to teU her. Did you win that bear? Give it to Katy this instant."
