Phil looked puzzled. When ne
smiled at her, Marcia thought his
grin half-weary and half-w'SttuI
Whom will you rescue tomor-
row." she asked finally to break
long silence. you were out,
both of you, in very good cause
today. What do you want for re-
wards?"
"Oh. we're generous members
of the Round Table" Phil retort-
ed. 1--WE go around rescuing fair
ladies and their pocketbookS for
the virtuous feeling it brings.
Maybe I'll help in several tourna-
ments next week. Pm going to
take a bicycle trip through the
south of France"
when did you make up your
mind?" Camilla asked.
Just now. I'm getting rest
less. I'll be gonn a week or two.
Remember, young lady, | belong
in the open. There are one or
two ideas for that structural stunt
of the boss's I'd like to get smooth
ed out in my mind.
They went to the cathedral M
the evening and sat very still
while the candles shone far, far
down the aiSlcs. and Marcia Won
dered what Paris would be like
without Phil. No one spoke very
much on the ride home and when
Phil said good night at the eleva-
tor he added goodby to the phrase.
"Goodby?" Marcia repeated;
"I'n be off in the morning be-
fore you are up. want to get a
good start. Don't let anything
happen to you"
In her room, Marcia sat by the
window for a while. Don't let
anything happen to you" He
might not come back to Paris from
this trip. He might return to
America from some port along the
way. He could catch boat at
Havre and escape Paris. Or he
might come back and she would
be gone. She must go home some
time. Her parents were sweet
about letting her stay. but after
all. they wouldn't let her live in
Paris! Since she wasn't going to
marry Bob-funny to put it in
words she had no reason for
lettering.
Phil was in love with a girl
whom he had followed just as Bob
had followed her, she reasoned.
Whether Camilla would marry
him or not, did not alter the fact;
She. Marcia Cunningham, had
made a mess of everything and
now she ought to get some sleep.
But she couldn't. She put her
wrap on, instead, and went down
to the lobby. There was q restau-
rant across the street where she
could get some hot milk. That
would be soothing. There were
a few loiterers in the lobby. She
passed them quickly and was
nearing the exit when a familiar
voice caught her attention.
Running out on us again!
She glanced up into the quzZlcal,
smiling face of the man of whom
she had been thinking when She
couldn't go to sleep. III
"Just to get some milk. could
not sleep" =
"You need a protector. May l
90 along? I've been looking up
routes to the south" |
They stepped out of the hotel
door into a soft, warm night,
where a yellow moon swung low
above the chimney pots and the
stars were brighter because they
had no competition with the
maudli nsigns of the earlier eve
ming.
Phil was gay, impersonal defer,
entail. Marcia took the cue and
laughed at trifl@. At the door OF
the restaurant she paused. So did
Phil. Camilla and Bob were sit
ting together at a corner table.
