She noticed that her fingers were trembling
and she tossed her cigarette end into the fire.
Then she clasped her hands in her lap
Mine is true story" she reminded him.
And true stories are sometimes sad"
And sometimes happy" he amended with a
quiet smile.
His calm voice steadied her Here is my
story" she said slowly
ut is about a, Huguenot woman who at the
time OF the revocation of the Edict of Nantes
tried to escape from France with her two little
children She took refuge in small vessel
'The captain sorry for her There was
no place TO hide her except in the shallow space
under the deck. She was crouching there with
her children when the kings officers came on
board to search the ship for refugees"
Inc NARRATOR paused LOT minute. Her
companions eyes fixed on her and she
glanced away.
Go on!" he said. please go on!"
This woman" she continued, heard the
men come on board. She heard their heavy
tread directly over her head, heard also the
questions asked of the captain apd his replies.
1t was evident from the tone Of one of the
officers that he doubted the captains word
"Well,' this officer said roughly there's only
one place On this contemplate craft where any
one could be hidden-and that is right down
below this deck. Well soon see if there's any
one therep
In the silence that followed, the woman
heard him draw his sword from the scabbard.
An instant later he thrust it to the hilt through
a crack between two planks of the deck.
'"The woman was directly beneath these
planks. The sword went right through her
breast. She did not utter word. But, as the
man drew the sword out she wiped it clean
with the shawl she wore about her shoulders
when the officer looked at it there was not
. trace of blood on it. That is ALL"
But that is not al!' Hale exclaimed.
"Lord-what story What is the rest of it?"
iiTHERE is no more of it," Antoinette said
softly, except that the woman escaped
That is rather like an anti-climax, isn't it?
1t seems to matter much less than her silence
and her wiping her blood from the sword"
Hale nodded Yes" he affirmed THAT un-
stained blade is the climax"
There long silence. Then Hale spoke
musingly:

his winning smile, "is just the kind of an
ancestor you would have had, my dear"
She smiled back at him happily "If I
could have had the choosing of my forbears.

IF you were mere girl you would not have
these. / have heard you regret that you are
not young. Has it occurred to you that, had
you been younger We could not have been just
the kind of friends we have been?"
1T had not occurred to me-" she managed
to say.
1T is true, nevertheless. And because We
are both mature and wise I going to tell
you now the story I promised-the happy
story-if you ready to hear it,
Il am ready" she said softly.
During the early weeks of their friendship
this storytelling had become a sort of game
between them. Hale declared that she was a
delightful raconteuse and that her imagination
was marvellous Sometimes she would make
up story. She had enjoyed making up stories
from the time she was child.
But as the relations between this man and
woman became more intimate, the story telling
game was played less often. They talked of
other matters, of their wonderful friendship of
the fact that the world would not understand
it-but that their lives theirs to do as they
pleased with.
II have always believed that a man and
woman could be as close companions we are
and yet not care so deeply that they are not
free-not so deeply as to be dependent upon
each other" Robert said once
Il have always believed that" Antoinette had
affirmed.

pectant. 1t was his turn now
He drew his chair closer to hers. She did
not look at him, but fixed her eyes on the
dancing flames.
MY story only became happy story three
days ago." he began, and the thrill in his voice
made her catch her breath. Until then it was
an unhappy story.
Il had loved a dear woman for five years.
She was married to brute. Her parents made
the marriage. She might have divorced him,
for he was shamelessly unfsithful to her But
her parents begged her not to drag their name
into the divorce courts.
