CHAPTER XIX
The shock of that Afternoon set
back JOS recovery several
days, and she developed slight
cold which made Miss Conley
doubly cautious. But the nurse
found 1t unnecessary to recall Doc
tor Seavers to Crest Lake.
"And it's really shame. too"
she told her patient jokingly.
"Doctor Seavers liked the place so
muchv
JOS smile was slow and weak.
Despite Miss Conley's CHEEKY pres
ence and the bright sunlight of
her room, 10 was miserable. She
could only guess what had trans
pired after the Fragonets and
Mrs. Marsh had left her rooms
at the Inn. Suppose the Frago-
nets had separated, planned a
divorce, and Edna Fragonet car
red out her threat to name 10
as correspondent!
And that was only part of
JOS worries, for she could not be
sure that Douglas Marsh didn't
intend to take his mothers advice
and let her go. If that happened,
trouble was indeed ahead. Once
she had paid Doctor Seavers' bill
and returned to town, iobless, she
would be worse off than before.
And If there were unfavorable
publicity in connection with the
difficult to find. 10 tried to tell
herself that Marsh would keep
her - but, after all. this unpleas-
ant old lady was his mother, and
he would listen to her. And even
If Marsh believed that 10 was in
the right, he couldn't employ a
young woman who got herself
into situations. Perhaps he was
only waiting until she got we'll,
and would then break the news.
The astute Miss Conley saw
that 10 was troubled, and knew
that her worries were doing her
patient no good. One morning,
as she brought in JOS breakfast
tray she drew a chair close to
the bed and sat down.
Miss Darien why don't
you just let go and talk? 1t
would do you world of good
and perhaps know more about
what's worrying you than you
suspect"
10 set down her coffee cup and
met the nurses friendly gaze.
%You know how I happened to be
out, there in the hall that day?"
Hiss Conley nodded. i've put
two and two together. Nurses are
good at it, you know"
well, wouldn't you be worried
If you were in my shoes?"
II would not" said Miss Con-
ley.
But I'm sure Mr.. Marsh will
fire me after what's happened"
10 told her.
The nurse shook her head. "If
you could have seen his face when
he brought you in here that day
you wouldn't say that. And you
bhould have heard his voice when
he told me wasn't to let anyone
order me away from attending
you. He may not know it yet
himself, but he's in love with
you"
10 managed a laugh. I'm
