Chapter VI
ANICE went to see Liz. Perhaps if the truth were told, she went to see Joan more than to visit Joan's _protégée_ though her interest extended from the one to the other. But she did not see Joan, she only heard of her. Liz met her visitor without any manifestations of enthusiasm. She was grateful, but gratitude was not often a powerful emotion with her.
