Daws nodded. "Caddy'll be back in town tomorrow night -- so it'll be Monday night or Tuesday, I think."
Hubert flushed faintly beneath the lavender ridges of his skin. "Really, you needn't feel obligated to trouble yourselves on my account -- not any more than you have already."

Miriam smiled at Hubert. "Really, I'd like to. Besides," and her grin turned slightly devious, "Caddy is a very interesting character to be around."
She patted Hubert on the shoulder. "Take care of yourself--and don't let Major Vance bother you too much."

Hubert nodded. "I'll do my best on both counts. Thank you for everything."
Daws smiled and squeezed Miriam's hand. "You two be careful out there -- and tell Sid . . ." she paused. "Tell Sid I'm thinkin' of him."

"I'm sure he'll come with us next time," Miriam replied. "He's got to see the new Hubert." Her smile faded slightly. "You take care of yourself, too, Daws--with Tiernan, and with everything."
With that, Miriam drew up her scarf over her hair again. Alex took her hand, and together the two of them made their way out of the gym.
Handy shrugged to Daws and Hubert. "You wanna be gettin' back now?"

"Sure." Daws retrieved her fedora and rose, stretching.
Hubert stood as well, shaking his head slightly. "I'll admit to being just a bit apprehensive about this Caddy character of yours. Particularly if she," he nodded after the departed Miriam, "Also shares your twisted definition of 'interesting'."
Daws grinned as the three of them headed for the door of the gymnasium. "Trust me, Hubert -- after meeting Caddy, you'll start usin' that same definition yourself."
