The last little word was spoken
unconsciously but it warmed her
heart. She perched herself on his
knee and put her arms round his
neck.
"TIave you missed me?"
"You baby! What do you want me

"Does Barbara ever do anything
besides talk?"
Pauline laughed. "Not often. !
wish / could talk the way she does
she's so awfully clever"
Clever! Rubbish! She talks like
a cheap novelette,"
'Dennisp
so she does. All this stuff about
love and marriage and twin souls"
"She doesn't mean half she says"
Pauline declared.
Lets hope she doesn't" Dennis
answered drily. He set Pauline on
her feet, his arm still round her. Run
up to bed, you'll take cold. T.
He broke off, as there was slight
sound in the doorway, and looking
up he saw Barbara there.

directly at him. Il came down for
a book. l had no idea you were in.
So sorry!' she. added again, little
smile curving her lips. Good night,
and she went away. Dennis looked
angry. Goodnight" said Pauline.
"She knew good and we'll we were
here" he said. Damn the woman"
he added under his breath.
Il told you | knew Barbara wasn't
