So she went home.
On her chair near the fireplace
was the little woolly dog. Here
it had landed.
She went again and picked It
up.
There in the corner was the low
bench She suddenly remembered
how the baby had led her to It
yesterday. How he had climbed
up and pressed his moist, open
mouth against her throat.
She felt him clinging to her, his
hands clawing her dress; clinging
to her in plea and terror.
She touched her shoulders
where these little hands had
clasped..
And she told herself blindIy: 81

saying eagerly: '.Roen, dear, let

The pallor of her lips; the
cavernous dark, OF her eyes-afl
empty cavernous look filled him
with rage and pity. Pity because
this anguish stole the lovely,
blooming ardor of her face: rage
because her hurt was desperate
and incurable.
He wanted to see her eyes
warm and passionate; wanted the
strength and sweetness in her fea-

Adrian Martin looked at her

lighted upon a screen Of Spanish
leather in the far corner.
IL don't want him to see
me here!" she explained. One
impulse had led to another. She
slipped over to the corner, and
hid. Then she wished she hadn't.
She should have stayed where
she was. But there were things
you couldn't explain. And this
joke would look like grim earnest
to any one else-to Jerry. She
wished a thousand times over
she hadn't done this thing. She
was trying hard not to breathe
