the distance, dying down sickly
when it turned out to be some
other dark-haired girl. When
finally she was really there he
was too eIated for pretense, swoop-
ing down on her. his hat in his
hand, grinning-he knew it-llke
an idiot. He saw people in the
street turn and look after him
meaningly and smile to each other
and what did he care how big a
fool he looked to them!
They fostered, for these queer,
unprivate. intimate moments, a
little tradition Of their own, a tacit
understanding that they would
save up for them the things they
specially wanted to talk about, the
questions they wanted to ask each

other people. They talked as fast
as they could, sometimes Marise.
sometimes Neale, as though they
could never get caught up on
what they had to tell each other.
Neale was astounded to hear him.

They talked a good deal about
Ashley, great deal about their
personal likes and dislikes, good
deal about what Neale was trying
to get out Of Europe. This seemed
to interest Marise, curiously to i'll
terest her. She was always bring
ing him back to it. He was, she
told him, new in her experience Of
Americans in Europe. She had
seen so many, all her life, and
thought she had them all sorted
and labeled 90" the kind,
like my father, who find them
selves just in their element at last
in the religious seriousness of Eu.
Sometimes 1 think they're the
ones who get the most out Of it.
No. oh, no, there's another sort,
the ones I specially love. The
middle-aged school teacher, who
saves up her money and comes
just once at forty-five with ripe
mind and fresh, fresh eyes, such
as no European can have. I'll
never forget what heard one of
them say in Paris. I was tearing
along, trying to get to the market
and back before I had to go to
class, my mind full of nothing but
the price Of new potatoes and n
terribly hard set Of velocity exer-
cises I'd just begun. 1 came up

minded enough to label it, but
he recognized and was quick to

in a group gave the most in

the brief, snatched occasions when
he did manage to see her alone;
even though q good many Of
these few precious moments were,
as a matter of actual fact, passed
on q noisy street-corner, waiting
for a tram-car to come and carry
her off, or on a narrow Roman
sidewalk, trying to keep abreast
of her as she stepped quickly
through the dense, sauntering
italian crowd, stopping five deep
to stare at something in a window,
or holding noisy and affection

The noise. the clatter Of tongues,
the pressing and showing Of the

it was directed DIT keeping him

quacity, because today, walk
ing on the Rue Macelli. hap
pened to see a case of his tools,
and outside, just glued to the
window, young Italian me-
chanic, gazing in at them, his
face on fire with his admiration
and appreciation. Quite a long
way, isn't it, for Yankee creator
to reach out a helpful and stimu-
lating hand? But he's a first
rater, of course, a genius. The rest
of us can't hope to do that"
Later, as they all went down
the stairs together, Marise asked
him, But there isn't anything
is there? that
the rest of us, not creative
geniuses, can hope to do that's
creative?"
She had not the faintest idea
what he could find to answer.
She herself could conceive OF no
answer possible. With all the
intelligent people she had ever
known, it had been anxiomatic
that there was no answer.
He did not speak at once. she
had noticed that he often took
time to reflect seriously on what
you had said before he replied.
Marise had never seen any one
before who seemed to give so
much more care to understanding
what you said than to concocting
something that would sound well
to say in answer. There were
times when. incredible as 1t
seemed, Mr.. Crittenden seemed
really to use language to express
what he meant rather than to
attain his ends. She waited now,
and as she waited she was aware
of the erectness and vigor of the
tall body stepping beside her. In
the corridor he halted for a
moment, facing her, his head bent

He had given her question a

CHAPTER XLVIII.

Neale was in despair at his
dumb helplessness before the inert
resistance Of social relations. A
man with any adroitness would
not submit passively to this
sprung -up-from-nowhere tradition
that he and Livingstone and
Marise Allen and Eugenia Mills
formed an indissoluble foursome,
never to advance or retreat save
in a solid bloc, like French
family, with all the uncIes and
cousins and aunts. How had it
started? He certainly had had
nothing to do with 1t. That's
what you got for being stiff
jointed and literal as he was
about personal relations. The
practiced old hands ran circles
around you, and had things all
their own way.
Such at least was the color Of
Neale's meditat!ons when he was
alone in his own room. When, as
one Of the quartet, he set off on
a new expedition, he could think
OF nothing but his light-headed
pleasure at being there at all,
walking beside her, catching side
long glimpses of her when he was
supposed to be looking at a statue
or a fresco, talking to her over
the others heads, trying to say
something to her, through the
Internally general" conversation
which Livingstone kept up as
though his tongue were hung in
the middle.
And there was a certain ad.

with a full assumption Of her self

Her words had relaxed from
the fornality of business. But
her manner was still encased in
sheathings of steel. The old
Mabel who used to antagonize
me as she gazed up in starched
formality from behind Jim's
desk, was out again in full
strength. But the more Mabel
held to her manner Of icy formal
ity, the more convinced I was
that she needed nothing in the
world so much as the warmth
that would make her thaw. It
seemed strangely enough, that
Mabel needed help more than I.
My troubles were financial.

No bride has a right to act as she

that if I let Mabel go now I could
only stand by for all future time
