One Good Turn
“Sybil drawled.
Jenny turned and acknowledged her roommate with a fleeting smile. She had known Sybil only two weeks; they’d met the day they had moved into their summer sublet, a two-bedroom flat on 36th Street NW that housed a quartet of Georgetown students during the school year. Like Sybil and her other two apartment-mates, Jenny had learned about the sublet from an ad in her college newspaper. The luck of the draw had placed her in the same bedroom as Sybil, a theater arts major from Em...ory University. Sybil was clever, cynical, witty, and extremely Southern—everything Jenny was not. Despite their differences, or perhaps because of them, they’d become friends.
It was thanks to Sybil that Jenny was at this party. Unlike the staid summer interns and G.S.-5 typists Jenny had gotten to know at the State Department, the folks over at H.U.D., where Sybil worked, were always throwing bashes. This party—the third Sybil had brought Jenny to—was being hosted by a group of guys from Dartmouth who were renting a town house from a Dartmouth alumnus who had packed up his family and moved to Maryland’s Eastern Shore for the summer.MoreLess
