 She glanced at my Nidened eyes and gave mirtrless little laugh.
 Exactly that" she said. This thing was amusing before, with only q vague idea Of menace in it, enough 10 give a fillip 10 our proximity to it. But now"
 Her voice trailed away and as l saw her bend over, her elbows rest ing on her knees, her chin cupped in her palms. her eyes looking out toward the distant ocean, l knew that she was nondering something concerning which I had no knowi- edge, but which gave me a sinister sense of hidden menace.

 Lily climbed back into the rear seat. "Yes, and I'd do it now. too." she declared firmly. But I'm not going to be scolded and questioned and lecturcd about you around the house. Either l marry you and get away or stay here and behave my self, from now on."

 The skies darkened for Lily as he spoke. He was going away on Saturday, and there would be noth- ing ahead of her but Staley Drum mond and marriage for years and years on top of years.
 They turned into the driveway and she left him. without a word. at the front sters, and went into the house.
 From the rear window of the up- stairs hall she watched him put the car into the garage, come out and sit down in the hammock couch on the grass in the back yard. He took out his little pipe and filled it again. She watched his fingers as they moved. She loved his strong, capable hands. with their blunt. straight fingers. She loved the way hls shoulders curved under his coat. and the way his head was set on them. She knew that she loved everything about him as she never was going 10 love anyone again. no matter how long she lived.

irregularities in the collection of

I'm for anything that will take
the sex out of law" says Miss
