Upstairs at the back of the house
was a long room that faced the west.
1t was papered in a Kate Greena-
way pattern that showed little boys.
and girls in old-fashioned clothes
rolling their hoops along fiowery
paths.
And on the floor IN one corner lay
a chlid's forgotten toy-a white
woolly lamb with bell and a little
ribbon around it's neck.
Whoever lived here last must
have used this room for the chill
dren's nursery Tom said, his eyes
on the toy. Dearest"
He came and stood beside Mary
Rose. his face close to hers - not
touching her, but very close. He laid
his hands on her shoulders and she
could feel that they trembled a little.
His face flushed with the somber
wave of longing that passed over 1t.
Mary Rose looked away from him
at the line of green hills in the hay
sunny distance. She knew that he
was thinking how wonderful life in
that little house could be for a man
and woman who loved each other
and for the little children they
would have.
For when a. man truly cares for a
woman, that is how he thinks Of
her-not only as his sweetheart and
his comrade, but as the mother Of
his children, too. And Mary Rose
knew it-as every girl knows it.
She shook her head helplessly. She
drew herself very gently out of the
ring that Toms arms made around
her and went down the stairs of the
little house and out into the sun
shine. She waited there for him,
looking up at the house.
With it's sun-soaked red roof, It's
white walls and green shutters, it
would make wonderful background
for happiness. But was it background
that made people happy?
No, indeed, thought Mary Rose,
not any more than beautiful seem

And she knew that all the hand
carved furniture and silk lampshades
and solid silver in the world couldn't
make her happy, Ewing in that
house with Tom Fitzroy.
But I could keep house in a gar
ret with John Manners and be happy
as a Princess" she said to herself,
as Tom followed her modify out to
his car that. stood under misty
willow tree.
AS she climbed into the car, she
turned and looked up at him, her
eyes big and shining with unshed
tears Tom she said to him, IF

good and so fine, but-somehow,
