Instead of the look of pain and
resignation I feared to find in Car
lotta's eyes, there was a flash of pride
and Joy.
"Real friendship and loyalty are
wonderful things to run across in
this loQ-sided old world of ours" she
| cried. and you two folks would
cheer UP a. cynic. First Tony does a
gorgeous big thing for Anne. Then
I'm hauled into the celebration
Finally Anne hands out a lot of
credit to both of US for having sense
enough to love about the squarest
little dear who ever tried to fight
her own battles Betwixt gratitude
for having her come to live with a
lonely old maid and joy at knowing
the both of you, my dears, I'm ready

Carlotta's voice rang out with a
tone like a cello. 1t was tender and
sad and hauntingly sweet. To me it
seemed that it told the whole story
of the love she aches to lavish on
Tony. I wanted to hide my eyes and
to take on a mantle of invisibility at
the same time. I'd have given worlds
to have eliminated myself at once.
