rather intimate way with her, was, as
far as he could see, merely part and
parcel of the manners current here.
Driving home with her that after
noon, after few miles of thoughtful
silence, he told her she needn't, unless
she liked to. go to Cape Cod with Mar
garet-oh, perhaps for week or two
later.
The visit had not produced quite the
sort of step in his acquaintance with
Violet that he'd looked forward to-.
But Joe hadn't felt sighted. Even her
unconcern had suggested certain
friendliness, and, on the terrace after
lunch, she'd openly made an opportu-
nifty for talk with him.
His first sight of her that morning
had affected him powerfully, too, re-
newing the bewildered incredibly, the
discovers excitement, and the strong
sensuous attraction that he'd felt the
morning she appeared at the traps.
She was in the pool when he and Bea-
trice arrived, among the earliest of the

the ladder at the deep end and come
TO greet them, he didn't know her. The
tight blue-rubber bathlng-cap which
confined her hair, and the clinging wet
sheen of the swimming-suit, no more
ample than ore her daughter would
have worn, trlumphantly challenged
youth itself She'd smiled at his stare,
and laughed at his explanation of it.

from the house, said, dispassionately,
to Beatrice, "You see how hopeless

His visic1 of Violet-revealed, d.
ana-like, finer and whittier and silkier
than his Imagination would have dared
pretend, persisted. 1t was not far in
the background of his thoughts while
they talked on the terrace. Yet this
sensuous appeal was not the only, nor,
perhaps, the strongest, she'd made to
him. He'd enjoyed the friendly good
humor of her ready laugh; her sallles
