Henry Barbour comes up to the house from his garden, where he has spent the afternoon puttering in his flowers. Once at the door, he looks back with pride at the neat beds, well-trimmed bushes, and the ordered pathways leading down to the sea walls. He smiles with satisfaction and goes into the house, where he hears Fanny talking on the telephone to Claudia, who wants them to join them at the Sky Ranch this weekend. Everything has gone well with Joan, and the two of them reconciled after a satisfying talk together.
