 Did you think you'd been kid- naped, Normal" he asked. 1T just dropped in to assure you that you haven't. Well--I should say you're going to bs very comfortable here!"
 His glance took in the pleasantly furnished living room.
 Mrs Everett held forward an open box of cigarets. "Oh, think we'll be comfortable" she said. Norma and I've been discovering that we have several interests in common. We both like Kathleen Norris books and have her new est enc. I'm going to send down for some more books tomorrow so we'll have plenty of reading ma terial. Then Norma's offered to help 4ne with some curtains"
 Her voice trailed on. Mrs Ever ett evidently enjoyed talking. A cheerful, comfortable person her. self. she was anxious that others should feel the same. She stayed with the young couple for 15 min- utes, suddenly remembered some task and disappeared.
 Norma sat on the davenport, the glow of the lamp light turning her hair to pure gold. Her face was in shadow and the care-worn look, the lines that had appeared in that young face during recent months seemed to disappear al- most by magic.
 Bob watched her for a moment, crossed the room and dropped to Q seat beside her. When he spoke the young mans eyes were leveled directly ahead.
 Norma" he said, there's some- thing I've been wanting to talk to you about. don't know just how to begin"
 The girl gave him quick glance. "If there's anything at all I can do she said. T hope you'll tell me. I'll never be able to repay the kind things you've done for me-"
 Nonsense. haven't done any,
