The noon day meal is almost over as we join our friends at the small house, halfway up on the next block. Here in the kitchen we find Victor and young Rush briskly attacking dessert. Sade had quit the table a little while ago in response to the telephone's ring. She needs to get a list together of wildflowers, and she was relying on Vic to provide them, since he was brought up on a farm - but he's not a reliable as she'd hoped.
