"You can't fight for your country then.

pleading for him, Dave. but for you,

He took her hands in his and raised

slowly, and with each word by itself,
"Do you really carer? he said.
"Oh, Dave!"
"Then come to my roo and talk

She followed him. Inside the room
he had himself under control again.

When he had finished she arose and
walked to one of the windows and
stood looking with unseeing eyes upon

bare to her, and again after all these

shamefacedly. II should have buried

She trembled until she thought he

her voice, but she could delay a reply
no longer.
