OF course, as q business woman, I
had travelled the streets at all hours
of the night, but Jin's protecting at
titude gave me a tiny shrill of Joy.
After he was gone I got cold comfort
from wondering If he had been afraid
I would make fuss at the station.
Jin's arms were strong as he held
me elese-his lips throbbed against
mine.
s1'1l be back to you in a day or
two, dear - I'll want you all the
more because can't have even a
kiss for a WHILE"
But I knew he was eager to be or
for Washington. Ahead lay the short
separation - and then what7 ten
days married and the war was calling
Jim. Even before he had been my
lover, he had loved his cor ntry -
he had been a soldieri
Could I give him back to his coun-
try - to my country? Could be
brave as were other woman all over
our. land? I made a little prayet
for strength - strength to give him
gladly, strength to forget the ugly,
storming fear thu after ten days of
marriage my husband was glad to
leave me.
Don't let me be jealous of my
country. Don't let me fail America"
