A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her
36 hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew
37 , there was no
38 to feel shy.
39she had made up her mind to
40 people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its
41 — she had left so many other
42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.

43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her
44. She had put on her
45 black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of
46 for one evening, but now they had
47 old Miss Hutton of all people to give the
48 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting

55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.
