/. which she had sat almost without
moving, trying to look ahead into
the future and make some sort of
plans.
For the moment she knew that
she had succeeded in her desperate
attempt to deceive the man she had
married and save her own pride;
but as yet only two hours of their
lives had passed, and the remain
ing years of II lay before them
both, dark and without hope. She
had not shed another tear. and her
heart felt like a stone. She changed
her frock mechanically and brushed
her hair.
II did not seem to matter in the
least how she looked. She remem-
bered how she had longed for him
TO notice her .frock that night at
the Highway House, and how dis
appointed she had been because he
had made no comment. She smiled
family at her wan reflection. She
felt an impersonal sort of SYM
pathy and sorrow with the white
faced girl there in the mirror.
She turned out the light and
opened the door. Philip had taken
a suite; she wished now that he
had not; things would have been so
much easier and more possible with
other people all around them.
The living room was just opposite
her own. AMI its door stood ajar.
She could see an edge OF white
tablecloth and glow of pink light
from a shaded lamp.
Just for a second her courage
failed her; her feet seemed chained
to the ground. Then she went on
and pushed the door wider.
Philip was standing by the win
dow, his hands clasped loosely he
hind his back. looking out into the
busy street He turned sharply as
he heard the soft sound OF her en-
trance, and for a moment their eyes
met across the room; his. hard and
