Gerald stared at his friend.
MYRTLE? Who the devil Why,

MYRTLE came flying to the door.
Christopher saw her eyes travel over
his shoulder, he saw the sudden cloud
upon her face. A queer little stab Of
pain startled him by its very poignancy.
Monsieur Gerald, he is not with

"Do you still feel that you don't want

She leaned a little towards him and
Christopher patted her encouragingly.
Her lips were very close to his, fresh
