Anne Is Proud That Anthony NOrreys
Should Consider Her Friendship

gaze OF his keen. kind eyes and an
impulsive phrase swept TO my lips.
Il can't tell you how grateful
amor how much like being your
partner was miserable when
you came into the room-all over
something stupid I'd DONE" l eX-
clsimed with spontaneous honesty.
And now I forgive myself, because
I've been lucky enough to interest
you in my work"
I'm always be interested in your
work, Mrs. Harrison" said Anthony
NorreYs, in his deep, kind voice.
You will always be finding good
work to do in the world. And
want you TO feel that Til always
believe in it-snd stand ready to
aid. That seems to establish us
as friends. doesn't it?'
There was a quick catch as OF
pain in his voice. 1 felt a sudden
sense of pity-and then the ludi-
crousness OF Il came over me. Why
should 1 pity Anthony Norreys-
rich, prominent and powerful?
A Friend Deemed.
He didn't pity himself. he didn't
mourn the loss OF his right hand
nor regret his shattered health. He
made the most Of what he had
saved from the holocaust OF war
! and gave and took help with the
same unself- conscious generosity.
He seemed to sense my thoughts.
Are you-pitying me- he asked
gently, Il don't want you to. /
don't want you to be my friend be-
cause you're sorry for me. The
privilege 1 had of fighting-for the
Cause was worth-two arms, and
leg, too, for good measured What
it did to my body. doesn't matter.
1t gave me my soul. And now the
after-war work is giving you to me
AS a friend, isn't it, Mrs. HarrI-
son.
I'm so proud. So proud?" I said
happily and cOntentedly. ITO think
that you should be asking for my
friendship! Why-rm only an un-
tried, improved girI-and you're a
big man. Having you believe in me
makes me believe in Barbara
Anne"
Have you ever doubted herr"
asked Mr.. Norreys. 81 never have
never from the day Terry brought
me to meet her. Barbara Anne
Harrison is a real person"
You make me believe in myself
There's nothing finer and kinder a
man can do for a woman than that,
said.
All the pain Of the ugly friend
ship Tom Mason had forced upon
me-Rll the disappointment rising
from Jim's failure to understand
and protect me-seemed suddenly to
become unreal. TO waver away out
Of existence.
I had q friend at IaSt. A fine.
loyal friend who would expect
who would demand, even-that 1 be
the best Barbara Anne Harrison /
was capable Of being.
Across the room came Jim-and
he stood close to me with an air OF
possession-With the first show of
jealousy I'D ever seen from him.
'Well-Boss, don't you think
you've monopolized my little girl
for a pretty long timer" he asked.
His words were bantering, but
there wasn't a flicker of laughter
in his voice.
