Wild rush of rain, beating,
pounding, rafting the windows and
the chimneys. Swift sweep Of wind
that knocked over q lamp and a
vase and flung a white curtain into
the rainy madness. And then the
yellow, yellow glare Of lightning.
Jack! Jack! Jack, where are
you?"
Sues voice was beaten back by
the storm. She felt the rain on
her thin silk pajamas as she ran
to the balcony door. There was
no one there. She snapped on a
light. The living room was COM
pletely empty. She ran to the bed
room again and looked for Jacks
clothes. They were gone.
So he had left her. Not openly.
But in the night. Stealthily. May
be he was afraid that she would
cry and call to him to come back
IL he said goodbye in daylight.
She wouldn't have, she reflect

have been bugles playing in her
voice, gay, lifting ones. He would
never know
She moved away from the
stream Of ar that came through
the windows. She was afraid that
lightning would follow a draught.
She wanted to telephone to some-
one for help.
"No, that's out" she told her
self. "You are fighting this out
alone! You can't tell anyone that
your husband has gone off In the
night and you don't like staying
alone. And anyway" She threw
her head higher. She was going
to cry. And she wouldn't.
"Only weak people cry" she
whispered defiantly. "I'll laugh!
People can't get hurt unless they
let themselves! I'll pretend that

bravew
But when there was lull In the
storm she found herself listening
for steps on the stairway. Young
steps, eager and vibrant, that
would come hurrying. She would
MT admit that she hoped that the
memory of her fright in storms
would bring Jack back to her.
She told herself that she didn't
want him II he came from a sense
of chivalry.
But her lips curved into a
crooked smile as she realized that
she listened just the same.
Tho rain began again. Faster.
Nader. Darker. The lightning
was gone. The thunder was dying
Only the darkness and the rain
remained now.
She sat down on the woody
couch. 1t scratched. Through the
