In Seacliff, San Francisco on a pleasant September afternoon, the Barbour family are gathering to greet Teddy, Paul's daughter, who arrives home today from her four year stay in Germany. Half an hour ago, driving Henry's car, Elwood Giddings, the retired army dentist whom Teddy knew in Europe, went alone to the air terminal to meet her - thus missing the arrival of Claudia, Nicky and their family who drove down from the Sky ranch for the great occasion.
