undertone. I've no business to be
here with you, Stanley, when I've a
husband of my own"
Wayburn laughed a little. He
pressed her hands, so that 1t seemed
that the little bones in them would
snap.

Don't remember" Stan answered
glibly. You're a jealous little cat,
aren't you, Russell"
Glory frowned.
II am. l admit it," she said. You

Glory nodded. She couldn't trust
her voice.

Glory knew that he didn't mean II.
And yet. somehow, she hoped with
all her soul that he did mean It!
Tl HEY finished their tea and
toast. And the farm woman
- laid the bill on the table.
Glory took out her tiny mirror and
powder box and busted her nose. She
buttoned her fur coat close about
her neck, and drew on her gloves.

Glory laughed to herself.
