denly and stared amazedly into her brothers face christopher pursed his lips thoughtfully i you have yoar sisters word for it and you have mine mr ohara chris presently said in his poised leisurely

done her a terrible injustice she has been engaged to mr keating here my dear mr ohara chi is said airily all the man of the world you are taking all this far too seriously of course we took a chance your-sis- ter and i but just because appear ances were against us doesnt mean that you have to treat the girl as if shes outraged all the laws of god and man no honestly martin hes right cass added you musnt make too much of it he came to martins side and held out his hand to mary kate and she got to her feet and went over to take the chair he had vacated cass sat on the arm of it with his arm about her she told me about it he said i was all a mistake mary kate leaned her head against his arm and closed her eyes he was being so generous so kind and it mattered o little when she says that everything was straight and aboveboard why that means everything was straight and aboveboard cass said cheer fully martin looked from one man to the i other gloomily hes not afraid of what people think of her reputation cass mar tin presently said with a glance at chris it doesnt costhim anything to hush it up buy me off pay my ho pital bills thats nothing to him but if id gotten him that night 2s 1 wish i had the boy went on levelling a sudden look of hate at the late comer if id gotten him that night then he would have paid then he would have paid and you would have paid too and mary would have paid chris remind ed him unperturbedly she pays anyway martin return ed sharply i was a fool mary kate whisper ed her head still resting wearily against cass arm her eyes still clos ed but that was the worst i was there was a moment of silence when she could feel like tangible cur rents throuhfj the air the hostility of the glances the men exchanged then there was a stir and she opened her eyes and started to her feet as her mothers voice struck suddenly across the other voices well what is all this whats poing on here mrs ohara rosy and breathless from walking her widows veil dang ling from her dingy bonnet her cot ton gloves her hand was standing amazed in the hall doorway she had come in from the front of the house tom was peering sleepily cur iously over her shoulder christopher rose pclitely to his feet extinguishing his cigarette with a quick motion of wng brown fingers against tre little ashtray on the sink martin trapped locked desperately about him brought hie eyes back to his mothers face mary kate ier face tearstained her hair dishevelled her breati coming shallow and quick went to her mother she took off he widows veil with her cwn loving ex perienced hands and earried it as she had carried it many times before into her mothers room she came back to smile gallarly at the older woman nothings the natter mother she said dont toil me that mrs ohara rebuked her sharply she crossed to the char mary kale had just vacated and sat down staring bewilderedy from face to face whatevers hap pened mart she asked for a full minute there was the sil ence of utter confusion christopher and cass sat down again and mary kate took the chair she had first occu pied at the table and rested her chin in her hand again youve met mr steynes mrs ohara

with its wiped shabby table oilcloth and its brushed linoleum that was worn into brown circles the clock ticked and the hot water faucet dropped an occasional pearl upon the dry zinc surface of the sink only one lamp was lighted the greenshaded light on the table where the children did their evening lessons the drop light over the sink was dark mother weve been in sort of trouble the inst few days martin then began haltingly and perhaps we ought to tell you about it i couldnt go out he added as in sheer stupefaction mrs ohara was still and none of the others spoke so 1 had to ask mr christopher sleyncs the syllables were so many threats 1 had to ask mr christopher steynes to come here martin repeated with a glance at him i thought youd be at uncle roberts until at least eleven your uncle robert is very bad and i promised id get into a was dress and go back and set with him mrs ohar said automatically lv mind not upon her words her anxious eyes upon his children i dont know why you had to keep anything from me mart she added her look moving from one member of the silent self- conscious circle to another in this case mrs ohara cass said there was no reason why yoi should ever have been bothered by it mary kates mother gave him a glance of superb scorn a look express ing all the resentment of the reticent proud woman whose private affairs are indecently and unfairly
