The late fall afternoon was gorgeous and clear, and Miss Cable had shown up in her trap to pick up her daddy from his office in one of Chicago's tallest structures. She waited patiently at the curb, taking in the sights and sounds of the dynamic city. The sun shone vibrantly, and the air was crisp and cool. Miss Cable was thrilled to see her father, and she was filled with anticipation as she waited for him to come out of the building. She made sure that he would be pleased to see her, and she was eagerly anticipating investing some quality time with him. The late fall afternoon was the perfect time for a household reunion, and Miss Cable was eager to take advantage of it.
