feeling down my spine. Was Deb
orah Burns, the finest girl l ever
knew in my life, going to act accord
ing to her very proper inhibitions,
or was she going to discard them
like a typical Greenwich villager. and
follow only the law of her own tenn
permanent? Deb's ext words were
more astounding than her last: -.
Jane, I actually reason to myself,
that IL / took jim. as I can. l
wouldn't be robbing his wife of any
thing she ever hadl The sympathies
he and / share-the tastes-perhaps
the entire scale of our emotions are
quite outside anything h is capable
of experiencing. She can never arouse
the best in Jim-never "a share his
ambitions-his emotions. IL / can"
Pardon me. Deb, but isn't that the
usual patter in irregular love affairs?
I've read the same defense in a dozen
novels. But Debbe dear, you DOM
mean to tell me that you share"
Deb collapsed weakly upon the
divan.
"Of course not" she said duly.
1--WE only been telling you my own
feelings. I'm not a coward. I've
thought this over by day and night.
And / know that the modern patter
about love Is pretty hollow. 1 know
this-that ! can't help Jim to cheat
his wife! And IL he cheated her
I couldn't love him!"
We were silent for a long time.
Modern eroticism dwindled to in
significance before the one great fact
which 1 had, at last, to tell Deborah
Burns. Finally ] summoned all my
courage:
would it make 1t any easier for
you, Deb. to know that Ann-that
the senior Lorimer heir is destined
to come to AIMS house?"
