 Why do you have need of me, just now % Stan asked when the car was under way again slow ly, this time.
 Glory laughed gaily.
 "Oh I don't know" she answered, 'unIess it's that you're always sort of mental cocktail to me .. you pick me up."
 You picked me up, just now" Stan parried.
 q did. l never was so glad 10 see anybody in my life. I was feeling 1 blue . But tell me, what were you doing. rambling around the country all by yourself?" the girl asked.
 Stan's hand in its suede glove came down on the wheel over hers.
 q was thinking of someone whom l loved ... and lost" he said.
 Tt was your own fault that you lost her that is. if you mean me-" Glory answered. She could feel her heart humping in her breast.
 You knew I was mad about you year ago, and that I'd have mar ried you like shot .. if you'd asked me-" she went on with diffi- cuty. But you didn't ask me-"

 The plump blond woman who kept the tea-house hustled about in the Kitchen that could be seen through the open doorway. Present Iy there was a smell of browning toast, and Of fragrant tea.
