Helen expected her baby in
March. It was a particularly bit
ter March, a March Of constant
rain and high wind. She couldn't
venture out very often, but she
loved the house. Everything in
1t gave her pleasure. The lamp
that Dirk and she admired once
in q shop and which later came
as a wedding gift from Irene and
Dirk. The chintz-covered couch,
the open bookShelveS, the brass
fire set, the cleaning silver on
the buffet, the deepseated fire
side chair. She'd move a table,
then sit for hours studying the
effect.
She sat on the cushioned
window seat and looked out Of
the window at the bleak country
side. How blighted and dead it
looked, as if it would never
come to life again. The garden,
once a dear and coy retreat,
was now as bleak as the barren
fields. Brown burlap bags
covered the hydrangea bushes
and shrubs. The swimming pool
was an ugly bare opening in the
ground, with its exposed pipes
and sewer holes. The naked
weeping willows shivered and
wept in the Slanting rain.
She turned from the window
seat to contemplate her living
room. Anton brought in a
basketful Of logs and started a
fresh fire. Marie, in the dining
room, sang Justify as she laid
the table. Helen turned on the
lamps and the room sprang into
life. The pungent smell of food
escaped from the kitchen each
time. that Marie kicked the
door open in her trips between
kitchen and dining"room.
Light the fireplace in the
dining-room, Anton"
'1t's pretty warm in here.
Mrs. Riley"
Turn down the heat then.
The open fires are so lovely"
GAS you say, Mrs. Riley. It
does look nice at that, eh?"
AS the days grew closer and
closer to her confinement, Helen
grew more and more uncomfort-
able. Twice she telephoned
Walter.
II think I'm ready" she
quavered. Her bag was packed
and Miss FrederickS, the nurse
who had been engaged a month
in advance, was ready to take
her to the hospital. Twice Wal
ter dropped everything and
rushed home, but each time it
was a false alarm.
''I'll cry wolf, wolf so often
that after a while you won't be-
lieve me, Walter" Helen said
Shamefacedly.
He kissed her. He was as
nervou7ly expectant as she. IT'D
better stay home these next few
days to be here in emergency"
Evenings they played three
handed bridge. Miss FrederickS
was a card shark. She knew
card tricks and all sorts of card
games. She had a breezy, re-
assuring manner and it was
comforting having her about in
her crisp uniform even though,
as Helen in bed with Walter
giggled later in the evening,
"She was an awful bore!"
The approximate date the
doctor had named passed and
now it was due just any day.
On Wednesday there was a
furry Of snow and q bleak
wind. Walter decided to stay
at home with Helen. The day
passed agreeably. Helen felt
better than she had for days.
They played cards and listened
to Miss FrederickS' rather fren.
lied piano playing.
At dinner the phone rang and
Anton called Walter.
