Byrd waited for Larry's song in
vain. II was a bad omen-that ST.
lcncc! So she dropped in the eggs.
She started a song Of her own, in her
high. clear soprano, to let Larry
know that she wasn't holding any
thing against him.
Larry sat down at his place at the
gate-legged table and. without a
word to Byrd, took up the morning
paper.
"How do YOU feel, dear?" said
Byrd, brightly, as she filled up his
glass with ice waited. He drank four
in succession before he answered her.
"All right" he said. curly.
Larry ate his breakfast, looking
through the paper leisurely at the
same time. Byrd sat at one end OF
the table looking at him ~unhappily.
Neither OF them said n word.
"Call up Jack Duncan and ask him
70 pick me up on his Wa to the
office" said Larry. without glancing
in Byrd's direction. =.
Larry said Byrd. in n small.
plaintive voice. after she had waited
n few minutes for him TO break the
silence. "Tm sorry I vas so upset

Larry finished reading the para

paper.

Byrd was up at the usual hour.
She could not sleep late when she
knew the apartment was in disorder.

hair into two loose coils and wound
them about her head. 1t gave her

She slipped a straight tube Of

Byrd moved about efficiently.
keeping her mind intently mon that
she was doing. She ran the cheap
little carpet sweeper around the
rugs. Larry hadn't been able to see
the need of an electric one in so
small an apartment. and still this
one started the dust TO flying. With
q whiskhroom she swent up the lit

ruthlessly dumned on the floor. She

Byrd Eroaned each morning over
those lines. and wished thew were

Larry knew the latest jazz. and
his only regret was that they didn't
have a piano so he could play his
own accompaniments. Larry ut the
piano was irresistible. He played

Byrd wasn't able 70 keep her mind

as she tried. Her soul was torn be-

cided she would never have spoken

she hadn't had something - drink.
That last highball. she guessed, had
made her bold and resentful.
This morning that mood had van
ished and had left a great ache in
her heart-an unbearable weight
which pressed her down a pom.
derable mass Of accumulated worry.
Byrd thought she could endure
almost anything except those wordy
battles in which mild criticism grew
into heated statements and wild &C
cusations. She resolved that in the
future. no matter what the provoca-
ton. she would be silent. Larry
