like black -browed hater! It made him nervous.
 But Pamela didn't allow anyone to tell her when it was time to 10. stephen knew by experience.
 We owe 90 much Of this to you, v Pamela was running on. having seat ed herself on the edge of chair she had pulled up close to Mildred's.
 Fl must send you something from Africa. Perhaps q real leopard skin for a coat. q genuine Somali. You could have it made up plain and wear it with wide brown leather belt suede, think. You'd look aw- fully smart in it. Mildred. I'm so- ing to ask dad to buy me a chin chllla wrap for my trousseau. There aren't half q dozen in the shops but won't want it for sev- eral months. Dad can send it to Paris. We're goinE there after We leave Africa and then we're going up to Norway for the ski jumping.
 "Oh. you just ought to see Nor way in winter. Mildred. I know some English people who have q place on the coast near a little town called Mandel. I was there two years ago. It's the loveliest spot can't think Of a more idyllic place for honeymoon. We can walk for miles through the park--all the land between tho village and the beach is a park. if you please with moss foot deep and the most intriguing and unexpected little glens and dells and glades and .'' she paused, breathlesA.
 "valley and wales and dales ana ding!es," Connie carried on. Why don't you get thesaurus
 Pamela lifted an eyebrow. "Eeally. they do teach everything but manners in the public schools. don't they?"
 Mildred reached up trembling hand to Comics. Don't mind her. she said to Pamela. She's just a freshie." But the pressure Of her fingers told Connie of her gratitude for having put an end to Pamela'a ravinE.
 Only it wasn't an end. A fur ther remark Of Connte's started Pamela going again. Perhaps she'd have started anyway.
 What are you going to do with. out jazz" Connie asked.
 Jazz" Pamela repeated. Re. lieve 1t or not stephen and l ar. both just too glad to get away from i.. We want a chance to commune with nature and find our deeper selves. You know. l think half the married couples don't know each other really. Life's too hectic here in America. We want to find a place where We can be all the world to each other. Where we will get to know the meaning of every little word the other speaks. You know. I'm sure that two people can grow 10 he just like one when they love each other as stephen and l do."
 She beamed at Stephen, who look cd at that moment like the living embodiment of what love can do to make a man uncom fortablc Pam<l:. smiled with satisfaction. He would leave her to pay | call on another girl.e would he?
 She guessed more of Stephens mind than he knew himself. Shed know from the beginning that Mildred was the girl he wanted; that if she hadn't thrown the Elam- orous veil of hsr own personality and cultivated loveliness before him he'd have homed straight 10 Mil- dred long before this
 But it wasn't what stephen wanted that mattereh to her: it was what she wanted. And she wanted Stephen.
 She knew he wouldn't break their engagement. For all his modern ism he had an old fashioned sense of honor. His obligation to her father for securing his release from jaii would help to hold him. too.
 But she didn't want him telling her he didn't love her: making any last minute confessions. One sim ply had to think of the future. Ii certainly wouldn't be nice to live with a sacrifice.
