CHAPTER XIV
Desperation

MICK had never taken Carol TO a
~ rehearsal since that first evening.
1t wasn't that he did not want TO 60.
but Nick was proud. He had no wish
to play the spying husband. and he
was almost certain now that Carol cared
for .rervis Rritton. She never mem
toned his name, but she seemed to have
new interest in life and she was more
than ordinarily attracted by the play.
Perhaps If Nick had taken her in
hand. II he had asserted his rights over
her. If he had been anything but hum
to him. But she was used to his ado.
ration. and it had never awakened any.
thing in her. while she was quite con-
scious now that something in her,
something that until now she had been
unaware Of. had stirred into life through
her friendship with Jervis Britton.
Since that day at tea he had been
merely friendly. Even during their
intimate scene together. he took no
advantage Of her. He was doing this
purposely; he wanted to pique her; he
wanted her not to be frightened when
he declared himself again.
Velma Craven watched Brit:on play
the scene with Carol from the sidelines.
and although she watched closely she
could detect nothing that would give
her reason to believe that Britton cared
for Carol. Carol, too, was improving
in her part. She was letter perfect in
her lines. and she was able to throw
herself into the role with more nban-
don now that she was not go conscious
of Britton's nearness.
Velma felt exultantly that the change
In Britton was due to the talk they had
had together. and she was more than
ever glad that she had said what she
had about Carol. As for Carol, she
was at first relieved because of Britton's $
aloofness; it gave her a chance to re.
gain her balance, to think more clearly.
But soon, just as Britton had known it
would, it troubled her. She began to
wonder If she no longer interested him,
and for the first time she faced the fact
that she loved him.
She admitted the truth agonizingly.
her pride humbled to the ground. and
she tried by every means to tear this
feeling out of her heart. But the
glamour of Britton was all about her:
he spelled romance: to be with him was
the one Joy she had In life, and to feel
that he had lost Interest IN hel while It
was staggering blow to her pride. did
