bit the attention Maris had de-
manded OF him.
He would have known a savage
Joy if she had resented 1t and had
intimated as much. Then he could
say the things that he wanted SO
badly to tell her. But they were
things that could not Be spoken
without some scrt OF encourage
ment; they were not easily said.
The trouble with Anne Winter was,
she was 50 difficult. Always. when
he tried 10 steer their CONVERSE
ton into very serious channels. he
reached a point sooner or later
where she matter-of-factly manIpu-
lated ii back again. or wrecked II
on a Shoal. II was a little mad
deninE.
Rorimer had never known a girl
like her. He sometimes suspected
th,t her matter-of-factnsss was a
shield beneath which she hid emo
tons as strong and as turmoiled
as his own; but II was a barrier
he had been unable 10 penetrate.
Sometimes when she talked about
the work she had chosen to do.
there was a breathleSs parting Of
her lips and a dreamy light In her
wide dark eyes and a rush OF color
70 her cheeks. and Dan knew a
feeling that was akin 70 jealousy.
Anne was driven by ambition: 1t
logged her on; nothing else
seemed 10 matter.
He was reminded now. with Anne
sitting beside him as they drove
toward the dawn, Of the night that
he had gone to meet her IN compli-
ance with Ziggy Young's request.
That seemed like a long time ago,
! and il seemed like yesterday. She
had persuaded her father-against
his better judgment, Anne admit
ted-t0 let her come 10 Hollywood.
She had had her own way. Ziggy
Young said she was bull headed.
Maybe Ziggy knew what he was
talking about: the expression was
%inelegant. but it was applicable TO
people who insisted on having their
own way and were not TO be
swerved from IL.
He watched her from the corner
Of his eve, saw her yawn. Anne
glanced quickly his way. caught his
look. and smiled. Sleepy" she
said. and Dan nodded. Just a
couple Of minutes now"
There was something so delicious
about her. he thought-even when
she had yawned.
A few minutes later they were at
her door. The sky was much lighter
now. and Anne observed that il was
nothing less than a scandal to be
returning from a party at such an
hour.
But I had a wonderful time.
Dan. II was glorious"
You'll be the first n home.
Most of the others will swim until
breakfast and 90 home full OF ham
and eggs. ! hated 10 leave the pool
myself, didn't you?'
Yes ... Good night. Dan"
N Paul Golfers movements aroused
Dan some hours later. Collier was
cooking breakfast - Sunday morn
ing breakfast being the one meal
they reliciously ate at home - and
\ Collier was making a great fuss with
frying pans.
What's the big idea?" Rorimer
demanded from bed. and Paul APP
peared in the doorway. a dressing
gown thrown ver his pajamas.
FITS IL o'clock. my boy. Going 70
sleep all day? What time did you
get imp
None Of your business" Dan
told him. I'll have my orange juice
in bed
.Oh. yeah?r Collier came into
the room and grabbed Rorimer by
the foot and began to haul him out
OF bed. Come on, now, get out OF
there
Have a hearth" Dan cried. but
Collier was heartless.
The toast Il burning. I smell it,
he said. dePositing Dan on the
floor. And he ran back TO the kit
chen. wanting 10 know Il Rorimer
wanted his eggs sunny side up.
Scrambled said Dan, tlingine
out OF hts pajamas and dashing un-
der the shower.
Collier made some sarcastic com
ment that Dan could not hear Tor
the noise Of the shower. and when
he finally emerged from the bath
room. looking presentable once more
and with his appetite sharpened by
the tempting aroma OF frying bacon
and eggs. Paul demanded some goS-
sip.
How was the party. anyways
Anybody get cocked?"
Dan Wolfed his orange juice and
chuckled. In a mild way ne
said. Your friend Frank Maury
was there, by the way. He had q
fine edge. 7 had q little -un-in with
him."
And he recounted ID TO Collier
where's Maury from2" he asked
and Paul answered that-Maury had
been an extra. He hung around
