included on programs.
Perhaps this sounds as though Kind

symphonic performances the world over
but such Is not the case. More fire.

TONY wanted to tell Tom Stewart

his Lee safe he should take her
with him where flowers grew in fields,
not in miasmic indoor jungles behind
curtained glass. He had no money, Lee
had said. Was only beginning his
career as a civil engineer and the pay
was small. Yet-if they cared enough
they could manage. Later we'll
later it might be too late.
Should she suggest to Tom Stewart
that Lee was in a mind to mutiny, that
she had threatened TO run up a black
flag against the existing order? That
would be the honest, the truthful thing
to do. Suppose Lee didn't mean her
chatter of the morning seriously. Sup
pose she had Just been talking it out.
she might very well resent idle nom
sense being repeated and to Tom OF all
persons She might conclude Tony
wanted to get rid of her.
But Tony did not want Lee to go,
unless she really loved Tom and would
be happy with him. Lee was a good
companion, an understanding one. Be-
solitude that bred morbidity, despair.
Beside, truth, especially unwelcome
truth, was more likely to incur resent
ment than to inspire gratitude. 1t had
lost Tony her place at Nine Simone's.
This time she would hold her tongue.

there, her back to the shop, examining
the contents of counter and shelf with
out seeing them. She had not yet

had no concrete idea what it was like.
Only surmise Why was she so hesitant
to embody this mans voice, his laugh.

was as though she stood at an open
gate knowing if she passed through,

package Now she would have to turn
to allow the imprint of his picture to
be hung in the gallery of consciousness.
Pshaw. She was being ridiculous. A
stranger.
