She was going back to work at the button counter and she felt so much better than when she had left for her vacation that she was almost thrilled at the prospect of returning. c.]Ending c.]Ending: Jane went into the room where she had stayed when she was a little girl visiting in that house so long ago, and changed to her new lovely green suit. Then she and Kent slipped down the back stairs and out through a basement door to Kent’s car, which was hidden in a back street. The wedding guests, waiting to see them off with old shoes and rice in the decked-up car that stood before the door, were unaware that they were gone.
