INJURED. THAT was kind of tough
on Sloan when Sylvia got married
right after his wife divorced him."
But Maris nodded her head and
said wisely: 81 don't think Garry

aren't you?" she said, and she made
a face.
And she insisted: But Garry

glanced, as he spoke, at Anne Win

N Henry'S. On the way home with
Anne, Dan said something about
seeing her Sunday, but she told him
that Eva was to return that day
from the hospital and she thought
she and Mona ought to spend the
day with her.
He began to hum a song, and
he looked expectantly at Anne, hop
ing that she would sing; but she
was not in the mood. When he
asked her, she explained that she
was tired.
And still a little nervous, DAN"
He knew that she still had Eva
on her mind.
Paul Collier had been invited to
spend the weekend out OF town at
one of the beaches. On an impulse
Dan telephoned Maris Farrell, and
on Sunday he played tennis with
her.
Later in the afternoon they went
for a drive among the hills and
they had tea at a little roadside inn.
Marie was an agreeable COM

called her up. She made him tell
her about his work, and when he
became d~eprecating and peSSimistic

Collins. Do you know what he said
about you?"

On the way back she said, You
know. you're the strangest person,
Dan Rorimer."
He had been driving along in
silence for some minutes, the wind
ruffling his hair and whipping his
tie about his neck, and now as he
turned to look at her curiously he
sensed that she had been studying
him.
"How's taRt?" he asked.
You're ESSdy. aren't you?"
Maris laughed and gestured with
her hand. up Ike this one min
