CHAPTER XXI

II is a narrow line that often-times
divided our destinies. II is the care
less word spoken that sometimes
changes the whole scheme oSthings
for us. How slight they are, and yet
how manifestly full Of meaning.
Just a word of affection from Jack
that morning in response 10 her ten
tatiye offering, and Jill Stuart
would have been sobbing out the
yearning of her ~love-hungry heart,
her arms around his neck.
But, instead of that word Of affec-
ton, she was told that she was "still
harping on that old home stuff, and
for Pete's sake to forget it,"
1t was the spoken word that mark
ed the dividing lines in their pri-
vate lives. One line ran to love, har-
mony and contentment. The other
wound its zigzagy way through a
labyrinth Of fault-finding, cocktail
SWELLING jealousy, and finally
tragedy.
Jill, at heart. was the natural
mother, wife and home-maker, willing
always. to do her share-and a little
bit more, if emergency called. But
she was no paragon of domesticated
virtues that yearns to humble her
self in the bosom of her family while
her husband warns his ego in the
bosom Of some other mans family,
Jill was a good wife. But she was
also q woman. and essentially human.
And so IL was on this particular
morning that Jill, denied the love
her woman's heart. as a wife. craved
turned TO the love that her heart
as a mother beat true and brave.
