Shirley to be very cheeky
Brennaway could get busy and re-
mind himself that q bit of cheek
from Shirley was all he ever
would get from her.
Alan, tn nght.reading, remained
Indifferent. 1t didn't matter. Moth
ing mattered save to be near Shir-
lev, to watch her smile, TO know
that she had married man she
loved.
They had finished the coffee
and Shirley still fingered. Roger
got up.
Fade away, Shirley" he said
and opened the door, laughing.
His laughter, too, Alan could
read. 1t was pleasant to Roger to
send Shirley away in Brennaway's
presence. It gave a glimpse Of
their intimacy. Still Alan
refused to let himself care
Roger had shut the door and re-
turned to the table. He was GO
ing to talk about Macedonia, so
Alan guessed. - = lie was right.
DO You think it's any good
your having a serious talk with
Shirley about Macedonia" asked
