while inspector connolly and asst district attorney ltarclay questioned martha about tacks murder lie had met mar tha at emmas night club with tack and was in love with it before he real ised ii the morning after lelir had declared his love he faced the faels and still knew uiat he would not lake manilas attitude as final nonchalance chapter x yees martha answered and for once peter was pretty sure it was he who had waked her up al though she denied it just as she al ways did how do 1 feel terrible you sound annoyingly cheerful i am he said 1 dont believe kodis any good at breakfasts howv you like me to send manuel up to teaeh him something about the art of making an omelet stop it said martha she laugh ed but there was a puzzled note in her voice all right but my mind seems to dwell on food going to have lunch with me she waited a long time before sh3 answered if you like she said then peter do you know what youd do if you had any sense cress me off your list right now go away and stay away till dont be silly he said cheerfully roniis orits a decent sort of jay suppose 1 pick you up and we go somewhere in the country oh id love to she said that thats different somehow i couldnt bear a speakeasy today so a little after noon he turned up in his long gray car that in city traffic could always be identified blocks away because it couldnt be driven in high until it got across the bridge as a rule and martha came down in a fur coat and he made a great ceremony of wrapping her up she nestled down beside him and they didnt talk at all as he drove out through the endless drab outskirts of q icon and came to open country at last with last weeks snow still white in the fields and in the shady ditches along the road he was headed for a place they both knew though theyd never been there together thirty miles out and he was extremely firm when she wanted to stop at a dog wagon peter im starving she said you dont know what the word means yet he assured her wait till youve had ten miles more of this sir talk about a cocktail if you do ill scream she said steak he suggested later and hashed brown potatoes and whatever hcyve got in the way of vegetables except spinach of course i temper firmness with mercy glad you cme she looked at him very glad peter she said yon youre sweet i thought when i woke up this morning that i never wanted to see you again that said peter is so absurd thai it doesnt deserve to be answered only you had about as much chance of never seeing me again as 1 have tf not getting pinched if i let that tar do its stuff on the way home 1 suppose so said martha only i am such a selfish beast and she looked at him very straight with her dear eyes why he said look here lets both be sensible im in love with you and you well you say youre in love because i want you myself arid well because i think its not so good anyway leaving me out of it but 1 cant see why you should call yourself names because ive just made use of you she said i started in the first lime i ever saw you ive been doing it ever since if youre fool enough to let me ill probably keep on doing it all right he said evenly you cant say fairer than that cards on the table if 1 keep on its my look out it seems to me if 1 get hurt its my own fault oh thats so easy to say said martha it sounds like sense but it isnt you dont know and i do i dont want you to be hurt peter im much too fond of you thats something to go on with you know he said it its rather a lot martha she shook her head no she said it really you dont know youdo but you dont thats to be seen said teter 5mi im taking a chance ive got tense enough to know its n big chance the odds arc against me tic comes first said martha it its a relief to say that somehow tack knows it of course and he loathes it but ive never actually told liim right said peter wll then why dont you divorce pick and marry him i mean that scms to be the obvious thing its brfng done all the lime i should think- i cant she said fc lots of isnt not you think uasens for one thing evan hasnt ary money and 1 havent enough to go very far i cost a lot peter and then it would be a rotten trick to play on tack divorcing him i mean his motherd never stand for it hes put it uji ta her i wouldnt matter that it wasnt his fault shed make him suffer for it just the same i see said peter scowling that seems to settle that then incident ally it lets me out too of course as long as old lady thiyer hangs oi well then theres another thin youre not happy martha happy she said happy no 1 dont think you could call me happy why not he asked the question bluntly after all she looked at him puzzled my dear peter she said its net a situation that makes for happi ness is it im in love with a malt i cant marry and she shrugged her shoulders and theres a little more toe said peter youre in a jam a bad jam youre in love with this chap you cant marry him but thats not all theres more to it than that its tied up with that business about the man at emmas i dont know how and im not asking you unless you want to tell me i cant said martha thats one of the things that would drag other people in peter dear right thats up to you well anyway here it is im in love with you as far as i can tell im going to keep on being in love with you for quite a while were in the same boat i cant have you and you cant have ross theres a chance that thingsll break im not so sure you could marry ross if tack were out of the way i think thats part of your jam and i think yo 1 like me pretty well 1 do peter im not in love with you but i like you better than any- one i know good ill take a chance on that that if this thing with ross finally goes sour ill have a lookin and i have a hunch i can be useful may be 1 dont know how or when but im going to be on deck if im needed thats about all you youre rather surprising peter said martha i hadnt thought of you as being a discerning person particularly im not not as a rule youre a special case you see am i i dont deserve to be 1 dont want to whine peter but ive had a bad time theres only been one person i could talk to at all zahn said peter she jumped how did you know she said sharply i havent told any one at all thats simple my dear said pe ter how many times have you chased me after lunch and turned down his block i see said martha thoughtfullq yes ive been going to him i think id have gone mad if it hadnt been for him ive been going to him for ages she stopped sat still thinking i started before i even met evan ross she said when things were beginning to get so im possible with tack and me i was terribly young and bewildered and stupid then peter i lost my temper and kicked and screamed and just made things worse dr zahn calmed me he still docs hes uterly impersonal you see i go there and lie down and 1 dont even see him theres just his voice behind me asking me questions occasionally i think it must be ra ther like going to confession for a catholic you say anything that comes into your head ami he well he sort of helps you to make sense of the things that dont fit he makes you see that theres a sort of pattern in life after all no matter how mad and unfair and confused it seems i can see how that might work out said retctl but he was frown ing to himself an old atavistic strea of puritanism which is more closely related to medieval mysticism than most people of puritan descent would ever readily admit even in the face of the flowering of transcendent alism in the stony soil of new eng land in the middle of the nineteenth century came out strongly from time to time in peter he accepted as a scientist the value of the psycho analytic technique in psychiatric medicine but there remained in him an innate distrust of what he regard ed as mental short cuts of every sort he was as has been said before and he remained a very simple and direct and rather hardminded sort of per son wei he said weve got some where by the way why havent you been able to talk more to ross she started again youre rather disturbing peter she said slowly i didnt expect that youd start putting your finger on things that way she reached oved and turned his hand so that she could sec the watch on his wrist ill have to be getting back peter she said im glad you made me conw i really am i feel better than i have for weeks so do i said peter cheerfully william gray of hillsburgh ont doesnt mind the odd bee and to show how completely he knows his bees he lets them hock over his beard surprise of the show its a silly mess all around but its something to know what ones up against all right lets go to be continued the longest day there is a sadness in the longest day we feel somehow the year has seen his best lie seems to look around then make his way with shortening breath down to his snowwrapt rest but tis not so his best is yet to be when his child autumn shall with gifts abound and when at happy yuletide we shall see his snowwhite head with wreaths or holly crowned then tell me not that lifes best part is gone because the high noon of the day is here there is a beauty in the twilight deep one has not felt at

vue there was a lot of dancing and there were at least two hundred pretty legs there were some quite good jokes the prettiest legs belonged to one of the chief dancers she had red hair and an entrancing smile and a pleas ant and effective voice warner ap plauded her in his hearty way his wife saitl she was very good and such a good dancer she added shouldnt applaud her so much though whenever shes this way on the stage she keeps on smiling at you warner nonsense laughed warner you are imagining that my dear but he was curiously puzzled he continued to study the little dancer lie looked at her name on the program vera wayne his mind went grop ing it was as if there were some sort of a dream relation between him self and her he struggled hard to find the secret of it suddenly he knew and was shocked he looked round as though the door of the box had opened and let in a draught feel cold his wife asked ive got cramped ill go for a walk round i warner stood at the back of the j house arid the stage now distant i seemed to he less menacing but be cause he had recognized vera wayne at last it was incredible he thought that he had forgotten her name he was afraid vera and he had been lovers fifteen years ago she was very sweet and j kind and he had been very fond of her he was studying in london for his examinations and to the young man there is romance in having a i chorus girl for a friend they made all manner of promises to each other of course they would i meet again would go into the country together would laugh together again but life often laughs at young

exclaimed in a way that made the ither look sharply at him he added quickly shes married then 1 shouldnt have thought that nor should i said vincent she doesnt look much more than a girl now at any rate on the stage yes she was married her husband died and left her stranded a bit of a waster from what i hear 1 think she is a wonder warner tried to frame a question that would tell him more it was not necessary the hearty redfaced man at his side continued to talk enthusias tically at vera wayne if you ask me that womans one in a thousand shed had the devil and all of a struggle to look after those boys of hers and she never lets loose a grumble its a hard lite this stage business and not much money its a pity that cliffsea is a bit on the toney side and dear to live in but it she i can possibly see her way to afford it i she wants one of those little cottages ive got i you mean those behind western square asked warner with a sudden qualm those are the ones shes making up her mind

fur coat she said i couldnt think where youd got to and you missed the best thing at the end something happened that made the whole story different it was the surprise of the show waiting in the dull sittingroom of veras lodgings warner was again afraid he tried to reassure himself that he would be successful he must be successful in his plan of prevent ing her from coming to live in cliff sea when she came in he was relieved she met him with that lovely smile of hers site said that it bail been splen did to see his enjoyment of the show the night before after that frank smile the smile she hail several times given him from the stageshe kept a guarded look warner knew instinctively and thank fully that she was going to say noth ing about their old romance that still look of hers warned him to make no reference to it either im going to be blunt said war ner if it is not absolutely impera tive for you to come lo cliffsea i shall be very glad i beg yon not to take a house in cliffsea please forgive me i she interrupted him and told him about the cottage she had almost ar ranged to take it it was saturday early the next morning she was jour neying to the next town where they were showing and the papers were all ready except for her signature she had promised to let vincent know by the next monday listen said warner i know what a hard life youve had vincent told me it yon can find what you want on the south coast anil promise me to give up the idea of living at cliffsea i will give you live hundred 1 pounds towards the expenses and an- other live hundred pounds next year if you want it vera wayne was astonished then she told him that she wouldnt think of taking the money from him it was impossible he began to aigue patiently with her ot course she must take it he could afford the money ami it was a pleasure 10 be able to help her vera wayne thought of unpaid school fees of the lime when the re vue would finish of a dressmakers ac count overdue warner was again
