that way? I am sold on you. think you're
so fine so WISE"
ooh, Connie. Yes. I'll have you that way.
Only hurry up and love me lot-pleasel"
Then she did weep And because Eddie
understood her tears, she knew at last that
though this strange boy might, and would, fool
her nine times out of ten, the tenth time he
would be there miraculous and sure refuge,
and that one time out of 10 would be enough
for her.

Tanners Woods" he grunted.
"A woods? In this weather." she inquired.
He turned brief, cold look at her. Sure.
Why not?" And seemed offended when she
laughed
Tanners Woods was a strip of beaches and
oaks 40 miles from Blue Valley. BY noon they
had actually reached Tanners Woods. Eddie
drove valiantly right into the woods between
dense, dripping rows OF trees, and stopped the
car Connie stared
II always liked this place. he grunted in
explanation. Thought we'd eat here" He
leaned over into the back of the car paved
around vaguely, brought out a limp little
package. Got some sandwiches and things"
"Oh good. Shall open emp" Connie did
so hope she sounded friendly.
She took of the paper. There, pressed to-
gether were several thick hunks of bread, and
between them blobs Of yellow cheese. Connie
had never seen such sandwiches; they had come
from Sixth avenue lunchwagon. There were
also two hard-boiled eggs, two dill pickles, and
a paper of salt for the eggs.
They ate. Connie tried to talk, but Eddie
merely worked away at his sandwiches. scat
tering egg shells all over the floor Of the car,
spilled most Of the salt, grunted that he wished
he had some coffee and scowled through the
windshield at the rain.
But she made an observation; under his old
greasy raincoat there was new, cheap suit
of pin-striped blue serge, and on his feet he
wore new brown shoes Of Shoddy leather. And
he had shaved Often he didn't shave. He
forgot it he told her. But today, in honor of
the occasion, he had shaved and he had bought
new raiment.
1t touched her profoundly. She didn't want
to be touched, but she felt the old flood of pity
and loyalty rising up in her again. Suddenly,
for the hundredth time that Summer, she
wanted to make his life smooth and agreeable,
she wanted to protect him against scorn and
ridicule-this queer, harsh, raw boy who stood
alone against the jbing world.
And then he began to talk. Il looked at that
apartment again, Connie. It's really swell.
Two rooms, kinda dinky but cute-you'd like
'em-and a bath and kitchenette and every
thing, and it's on court with grass and stuff.
It's only ffty-fiye. We could be married in a
year."
and what about your books? You couldn't
stop your newspaper work if you had wife ON
your hands"
Il could some time. We'd save for that" He
pulled out his eternal cigarette package, lighted
up, leaned his head against the seat. Il kind OF
like this rain, don't you? And you and me to-
gether here, sort Of alone in the world? Maybe
it's the last time, the last ride together'-I'm
facing that, but anyway I've got this moment,
