And she hung up the receiver
before the creature in her moth

more.
Pat was still hidden behind the
paper when she went back to
the flat.
He did not stir when she passed
him. carrying her heavy bags.
He did not look at her. He did
not speak. If he knew she was
there, in the room with him, he
gave no sign Of it.
Outside, In the quiet street,
sounded the sQuawk of a taxicab
horn. and the screaming Of brakes.
The doorbell rang.
Lily went down the stairs and
sent the man up for her luggage.
She sat in the cab while he went
upstairs for them. wondering If,
even then, Pat would not come
down and try to take her back
upstairs with him.

But he did not give her that

Lily drove up to 1t that Christ

Her eyes were watery and her

Lily was exasperated. "Have
you any money? she asked.
IF you have, go and get it
and don't stand here talking!
She turned and beckoned to the
driver to bring her bags up to
the porch.
"All right" the maid decided,
as If she saw that there was
no use in trying to keep Lily and
the bags out OF the house any
longer. She trotted out to the
back OF the house and came
back with two silver dollars.
Here you are, MON. I hope
