 CHAPTER M
 Dana repeated Scott's words, hel eyes widening. This is where you live? But how-?"
 q was looking out of the window, he told her, land cursing my luck to have storm like this come ur while my cars in the shop. And then saw you. There wasn't any thing to do but go after you"
 Dana was looking about the room. It was wide and cozy, with easy chairs, 8 fireplace and book shelves filled with books. An old room, Dana saw, but it had escaped shabbiness. It even had distinc- tion of sort, with its mellow wood paneling. The rugs were old but they had once been good. A lamp glowed cheerfully on the table where books and magazines were scattered.
 She nodded appreciatively, "It's 8 nice room."
 Scott said, T wanted you to like it. And now we'll have to find you something dry and get you out of those wet things. I'll build a fire to dry your dress and shoes. Then I'll call 8 taxi"
 "Oh, mo-" Dana protested. "It you have 8 coat you can lend me I'll just slip it over my dress"
 Listen" Scott said firmly, I'm B doctor, but I don't want you as 8 pneumonia patient" He flung open the door of the adjoining room. "Youll find a dressing robe in the closet"
 Dana found herse1f oDeying. She stepped into the next room, caught 8 glimpse of herself in the mirror. Her wet hair struggling across her white cheeks, and her beret was a scdden ball atop her head. Her dress chung to her body. Water ws0 oozing from her soaked white sandals. Scott was probably right; she might be ill if she didn't change. And besides it was mighty uncomfortable being wringing wet.
 Dana emerged a few minutes lassr in a gayly striped dressing robe, wrapped about her slim body and securely tied. On her feet were Scott's bedroom slippers.
 q thought" she explained, "that as long as I was ordered to change ! might as well put on these, too. '
 A grin spread over Scott's face.
 Dana said, 8 little ruefully, T know I'm funny-looking."
 "Yes, you are," Scott agreed, s,But, even in that outfit you're quite adorable. I'm going now to change my suit. Lucky I have an- other one!"
 While Scott was dressing Dana spread her wet dress on the brass fender and placed her shoes near the fire.
 Scott returned quickly, having contrived, somehow to look inn maculate without appearing stiffly groomed. He went to the telephone and called number.
 Dana heard his voice protesting, sBut this is an emergency. I've rot to have a taxi. Get one out here and I'll make it worth your while."
 He hung up and called another number, with no greater success. Then he came to the door, and stood there, frowning a little.
 Dana sat on 8 footstool near the lire, the light bringing out the bronze gleams in her hair. She looked very slight and boyish with the mans rope belted about her, her feet lost in Scott's leather bed- yoom slippers.
 "All the taxi places say they have Q waiting list @ mile long. It means an hours wait, at least"
 Dana said cheerfully, "Well, that's all right-now that I'm good and dry"
 T was all kinds of an idiot to bring you here," Scott said slowly. Regardless of the fact that you ere an ornament to my hearthstone I'm going to have to get you home in . hurry. While we're waiting for your dress to dry and the cab list to shrink I'll stir up some eggs and make coffee. Sorry there's not much else to offer. The only meal ! have here is breakfast, and didn't foresee that my car would be in the shop at the same time the clements would choose to play 1he devil"
 ] The clements were still playing Che devil, Dana thought. Rain was pouring against the window panes as though giant hand were dashing buckets of water from above. Now and then there was 8 roar of thunder, followed by vivid . .Sy0l1 YoO'lL eErA
