She looked at the check again,
and suddenly, surprisingly, she

He stopped and put his arms
around her exactly as he might
have put his arms around a hurt

her hair.
In his arms she was very sweet

And then she pulled herself
away from him and. still crying,
ran out of the office.
On the floor at his feet lay the
check he had given her. 1t was
in two pieces. She had torn it
up!
He stood looking at the two
bits of pale-blue paper for a full
minute. Then he stopped, picked
them up. and put them both in his

her expenses for the week on it
so much for groceries, so much
for milk, so much for lunches
and so much left over for the
rent. She was always trying to
get together the money for the
rent it seemed to her.
She laid her hand over the paper
now and turned to look up at
John.
Something in his face told her
that he had seen the pathetic little
list.
Here's Miles check. Perhaps
she'd like to have it." he said

Her voice rambled on, telling
Sally the plot of the book called
when Love Is Kind" She took
all her views of life from the
books she read-and in most of
them rich men did not marry
girls like Millie.

Every day John Nye called at
the hospital and every night
when Sally went there there were
fresh flowers in the tall glass
vases. and baskets of dainties
that the special nurse ate and
passed around to the other nurses.
For Millie would eat nothing.
She drank little milk three
times a day and refused all other
food. She said she wasn't hungry
and DR.. Ambleside began to
worry about her.

Sally worried not only about
her, but about the money that
John Nye was paying out for
the room and the special nurse
and all the rest of it.
On Saturday noon John Nye
came and stood beside her desk.
She could see him out Of the
corner of her eye, but she did
not look up until he spoke to her.

Without a word Sally left him.

Then a despair seized her that

She was not thinking. and yet she

Everything was as mechanical as
the episodes of a dream. She
felt as if she were in a trance.
