The car started smoothly away
Mary leaned back in the luxurious
seat beside David. and gave herself
up to the enjoyment of the moment.
She would not think Of anything I'M
pleasant; she determinedly thrust all
shadows Of the future behind her.
Are you enjoying it?" asked David
He looked down at her smilingly.

laughed at her.
"You look like a child with a new
toy" he said Turn the wheel a
little more to the left-we're too much

flushed when he turned her back to

Il can't allow you to drive through
the village" he said. Besides, you
haven't got a license. We shall have
the police after us" He leaned across
and tucked the rug warmly round
her; there was something so intimate
and friendly in the little action that
Mary felt suddenly as if she had
known him all her life.
Once again the desire came to her
to speak about the Fishers. She stole
shy glance at him; he was look
ing at her.
"WeT?" he encouraged.
She sat up suddenly.
"I wonder if you would think it
very strange If l were to ask you
something"
She was surprised at her own dar-
ing and the steadiness Of her voice.
TRY me and see" he suggested.
She looked straight ahead of her
down the little quiet road, with its
handful of cottages and tiny shops.
IT'S onIy-only-I wonder if you
would mind very much if I asked
you not TOTO invite Mr.. Fisher down
here just yet?'
She caught her breath. Beneath
the fur rug her hands were elapsed
together tightly.
David did not answer for a mos
ment.
you don't like him?'' he hazarded
then.
She shook her head vigorously.
ooh. mono, it isn't that He has
always been very nice to me. But if
you don't mind very much-just while
l am here. Oh, 1 know it sounds
dreadful of me to ask such a thing"
What do you mean-'just while
you are here'?" he questioned.

There was a little silence. They
had left the village behind them now,
and were out again on the high road,
between broad hedges.
They shall not come if you don't
wish it," said David presently. Il
will tell my aunt"
But now she had got her own way
she was frightened.
"Oh. I don't want you to put them
off because of me. They are your
friends; it can be no concern Of mine If
they come" She was GREATNESS and
agitated. ooh, I hope you are not
offended" she pleaded.
He smiled.
1T takes more than that to offend
me. 1 am glad you asked me to put
them off; If shows that you don't feel
as if 1 am quite a stranger. I am
very gladr'
When he spoke again it was en-
tirely irrelevant.
when will you have your next driv-
