mumbled thickly, "There's someone
else?"
For a moment Maris was silent.
Maybe it was just as we'll to let Rod
think that. Maybe if he thought
there was someone else he would
get a new car. Burt before she could
deny it, he said, "All right. Now
l understand" and without another
word, hurried to the curb.
Aren't you coming in?" asked
Maris.
Rod laughed. "Not where I'm
not wanted" he said, his blue eyes
flashing.
"Oh, we'll, if that's how you
feel" answered Maris, suddenly
angry.
She entered the house then and
stepped into the elevator. Her
cheeks were flaming. Evidently Rod
didn't love her very much if he
could let her go like that. Web,
she would show him. She had her
pride. Maybe it was a good thing
after all. He'd been so sure Of her.
Swiftly in her mind rose the pic
ture of another man-dark-eyed,
debonnair, with swell clothes, a
Pierce-Arrow roadster, coolies of
money, everything a girl would
like. His reputation-well, it was
MT just like Rods -. But then,
this man moved in a different
strata of society.
Her thoughts were swiftly end
ed. The door of their apartment
had opened and Patsy stood there.
isn't Rod coming up? I've made
the loveliest dinner for him." Patsy
announced. A spot of chocolate
icing orna1nented her flushed
cheeks, while the heat from the
kitchen had twisted her blue black
hair into tiny cork-screw curls
about her heart-shaped face.
NO." answered Maris shortly,
brushing past her.
We had a scrap?' she asked.
"Oh, honey, didn't I-warn you not
to rouse his Irish? He's one of us
and you must handle him with kid
gloves. I'm going down to get
him." and, suiting her action to her
words, she darted down the hall.
Hell be gone by now"
"Not if Dulcie's cutting up her
usual capers."
