Chapter 11

There was a fall on Wall Street, which left most people feeling poorer than usual, most everyone except Rosedale and Bry. Because Rosedale is still rich, he is getting more popular, but he still likes having Lily with him. Now that the holidays are over, it is time for the real social season. Mrs Peniston invites Jack and Gwen over for dinner, now that they are back from their honey moon. She also invites Grace, one of her friends who is normally socially ignored. However, Lily convinces her to change her mind and retracts the invitation. Grace is enraged and begins to want revenge. She goes to Mrs Peniston and starts spreading the rumors about Lily and Gus. Mrs Peniston didn't believe it because she paid Lily's expenses, until Grace mentioned Lily's gambling debts. This made Mrs Peniston very uncomfortable, and while she still didn't believe the rumors, she still didn't like the implications.
