Are you going cack to Amerlca?" "No."
 Where then?" she persisted.
 God alone knows" | There was short silence. Georgie could feel a little pulse hammering in her temple as if it were trying to drive her to say the things that were in her heart; the things which sure ly no nice" girl would ever dare to 1 say, then she heard her own voice, l a little breathless with daring. Well, wherever it is, shall go with you."
 Nicholasslaughed. -You most cer- tainly will not" he said emphatical- Fly. 'e waf F v e Why not?"
 "Becaause I-because -" Then he broke off and walked away from her to the window. Such an ugly window Geo-gie thought, hung with drab' curtains which nobody had troubled to draw.
 Why pot?" she asked again as he did not speak. '''7N tafs 4 He answered her then, in voice that was a little hard. Because in the first place you don't know what you are talking about. In the second place 1 am a married man. and even if were not, our lives run along roads that are miles apart. roads that can never meet. and anyway r." he broke off once more.
 And anyway you don't want me" Georgie said biuntly laN ca;e fssss
 What want is beside the point, I'm fond of you of course. l don't know why; probably because you in- sist that l sha', be-"
 "I suppose ought to be offended at that.v as
 "lt was not intended offonsively." CHE felt the tears wet on her h' checks again.
 If what you want is beside the point. doesn't what I want matter ct all?"
 'You don't know what you want; you're just child. romantic child, but let me tell you that there is no romance. or there would not be if you had to live with me. I'm bad tempered, selfsh-buty you've proved that already. hate being out of the lime-light. l cant make the best of it. Pm bitterly resentful"
 "You wouldn't be if you had some thing to take it's place"
 What something? 2" faa
 Me- ia Eje She saw a sudden movement of his broad shoulders, but he made no comment. and she went on: "I may not be very much. not so attractive as the girls you have been used to, but know could make you happy" She caugh. her breath before she added: "I love you so much"
 You little fool" he said again hoarsely. There are so many men in the world. young. strong, the kind you must marry.p n,bef
 If I don't marry you shall never marry anyone" Georgie said.
 You seem to forget that am married already"
 "Weli-I" Georgie struggled with her tears. Evelyn says that di. vorce is very easy in America"

 "You mean-you wouldn't be will ingg" eag aa i,4
 At the moment | am thinking of my wife"
 That she wouldn't be willing?"

 He picked up her gloves and It. tie handbag which she had laid down on the table. "Pll get you taxi. Robin"
 Georgie stood her ground. s;' '"When shall 1 see you again"
 "I hope for your own sake, you will not try to see me again."
 Something seemed to snap in Georgie's brain. She clenched her trembling hands into tight little fists.

Its just yourself. suppose you think Pm a nuisance coming here; suppose you think no decent girl would do such a thing. and 1 suppose you're right. What differ- ence does it make if you're married or nots l want you to be happy. can't be happy nyselfsif you're not" She was sobbing now, her eyes raised to his face appealingly. i've never had anybody of my own, not really.
