Toned and frightened. There!
The decision was made.
But five minutes later, she
was as much in doubt as ever.
Then she decided that since she
hesitated like this, she probably
wasn't actally in love with Ernest
at all. Her mind turned in the
opposite direction. She would
never see him again.
And then she began thinking
about him, wondering, repeating
everything she had thought be-
fore
So in the end she was just as
far from knowing her mind as
ahe had been at the start. She
gave up trying to settle the thing
one way or the other. Shed
go to Rivard's anyway. but she
wouldn't really make up her
mind. not until she could he sure.
And all at once she thought OF
all the stories she had read, the
romantic stories in which every.
thing was so clear, and there
were never two courses to choose
between. When she realized how
she was hesitating. she felt cold
. hlooded, even harsh.
She stayed in the office late,
promising to lock up, and explain.

long leases that she had still to

But when everyone was gone,
she put the leases away. Going
to the windows, she looked out

told the Sally in the mirror above
her dresser. And look at yourself

She was starry.eyed and deeply
pink. and there was a smile that
lifted the corners of her soft mouth
and brought out the dimples in her
cheeks. She had that miraculously
happy look that a woman has
when she is going to meet her
lover and al no other time. A very
special kind of look it is.
But the girl who sat at the cor.

later was an altogether different

to say goodby.
He opened his door, and lighted
the lamps in the studio. The pale
yellow glow softened everything
now, but did not penetrate far.
She could scarcely make out the
ceilings in the hlackness. The
easel in the corner had assumed
fantastic outlines.
Wait here a minute. I'll get
something TO drink"
He moved away, and she heard
him in the kitchennette. heard
him cracking ice, collecting glasses.
He came back presently with a
tray and two tall hlghballs.
George didn't care for liquor.
She hated the taste, but she liked
to pretend she was modern and
easy and natural. She liked too
the confidence that alcohol gave
her. She slipped hers and made
a face. 1t seemed to her stronger
than anything he had offered her
before. 1t burned her throat
little.
She was sitting on the broad
couch that was heaped with pill
lows. her legs stretched straight
before her. her back against the
wall. He would of course come
over and sit next to her, take her
hand, touch her hair, kiss her
throat. And she would tell him
calmly, with quietly sophistica
ted smile. that it was all quite
useless.
But Ernest Brooks did nothing
of the sort. He sat down in a
battered Morris chair. resting his
highball on the arm of it. He
seemed to have no inclination to
bother her, make love to her. He
gave her no chance to show him
she didn't care bit.
He was talking quietly, talking
about Italy. about old world cities,
about olive trees and blue water
and bluer skies.

But he was studying her with

instinct was guiding him. He felt

her as if she had been a mere
acquaintance.
There were awkard nauses in
