Fortune's Lead

by Barbara Perkins

  I knew he’d never believe me—and besides, I wasn’t at all sure myself that tonight hadn’t sent me right off my head. Still, if I was out of my mind, it was a very good place to be out of, at that moment. With Kevin’s arm round me as we went to find Mr. Hetherley’s car a few minutes later, I felt so happy that I ought to have been dreaming. But I wasn’t, I was awake; and the things Kevin said to me as we drove back to Thurlanger House made it seem likely that I was going to be happy for a very long time.
