CHAPTER KILN
Honey Lou went away from the
house feeling that in some way
Angela had tricked her. She just
couldn't believe that Angela had
forgotten how she had begged her
to go to Crescentvilie with her or
Donegal on that dreadful day in
March.
How could she?" she asked her
self. dragging herself heavily up the
stairs of the flat.
She was sitting before the mir
ror OF her dressing table, staring
at her white unhappy face in the
glass. when Mary opened the door
Of the room.
Miss Aliens here to see you"
she said, and Honey Lou jumped.
Angela was in the sunroorl, hold
ing up her sweet pure face to the
lovebirds in the cage. DO you hate
to be shut UP in that cage, poor lit
tie things?" she was asking them in
her cooling voice when Honey Lou
came into the room.
Her eyes were big and soft and
shining with tears as she turned
them to Honey Lou. MY dear" she
said. and laid one of her white
hands on Honey Louis shoulder.
why should we quarrel like this?
You know I'm awfully fond OF you,
my dear. I'd do anything in the
world for you except to tell a lie,

Angela looked down at the toe Of
her black velvet slipper. What good
would 1t do If l did take all the
blame on my own shoulders?" she
asked. 1T wouldn't make him feel
any more loving toward you, Honey
Lou. If he hasn't spoken to you for
two months. l should think it would
dawn on you that he's through with

here. where he plainly doesn't want
you"
OOH" Honey Louis hands
went 70 her throat that seemed to
be tight and hot, all at once She
felt as IL her heart were going that
very minute to break with the bur
den 1t had been carrying for so
many weeks.

room" AnGela's low silky voice
went on, "and he didn't seem at all
worried or sad. Honey Lou. Has
not like you arc-you're crushed by
this whole thing. and if I were you
I'd get away from it all. Id go back
to my mother"
When she had gone, Honey Lou
sat very still, thinking over the
things she had said. She sat there
while the sunlight faded from the
little room and the windows turned
to big square sapphires in the dusk

phone. Mrs. Wallack." Mary's cheer
