At Encino Scott waited impatiently for her. “Well?” he asked. Frances smiled. “They’re there, Mr. Fitzgerald,” she reported. “I saw them in a lovely vase on her desk.”

Scott’s face lit up. “I’ve got her!” he said triumphantly. He had, too, although I did not know it.

I had not seen or talked to him for five weeks. He had apologized to John Wheeler in a telegram which my employer forwarded to me:

I SENT YOU THAT WIRE WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 102 DEGREES AND A GOOD DEAL OF LIQUOR ON BOARD. THERE IS NO REASON TO WORRY ABOUT SHEILAH IN CONNECTION WITH THE STUDIOS. WE HAD SOME PERSONAL TROUBLE IN WHICH I BEHAVED VERY VERY BADLY PLEA
