Polly leaned against a wall and observed her surroundings thoughtfully. The house, whose owner she was only slightly acquainted with, was occupied by an energetic party. Everywhere she looked, a different social interaction seemed to be occurring. Two girl friends were engaging in a ditzy dance to the swing music playing, couples were kissing or whispering in each other’s ears and alcoholic drinks were being exchanged amongst every party attendant. The odor of cigarettes and alcohol would have been overpowering to anybody not used to the scent, but it was just a familiar aroma to Polly.
