with all my faults I'm not a. snob.
/ Whether girl is Junior league,
or FOllies graduate, treat her
exactly the same. You believe me
when say that. don't you. sweet
ness?"
There was note of sincerity In
Breck's voice. and Gay nodded.
II guess So"
"And you'll excuse me for being
such rOughneck that other night,
If 1 swear it won't happen again ?
You'll go out with me, If / treat
you with great respect, and sit
way off from you, like this ?" AZ
Breck finished the question, he
moved far off. to the extreme edge
of the seat.
Cay couldn't help laughing.
Don't be so silly! You won't have
to keep quite that far away from
mel"
That's the way Ne sit, and
that's the way we dance, from now
on" he assured her. Honey, you're
dynamite. When I get any closer,
go haywire. Look!" He drew
a trifle nearer. "You can see for
yourself: 1 culver in every limb,
as they say in the movies. And
when put my arm around you.
like this, I lose all control-like
a 1917 DeHaviland in an air
pocket"
Gay removed his arm. you're
nice enough" she re m ark e d.
when you want to be-"
Nice yours elf" Breck re-
sponded. He leaned toward her.
"Silly. don't you realize I'm COM
pletely goofy over you? That it's
hard as the devil to make myself
behave when I'm near you? IfI
had a brain in my head, I'd run
when I see you coming. instead Of
chasing after you! I was all set
with Peggy, until you came along.
Liked her fine. She's not such q
bad kid, you know. But now I've
got you on my mind, I can't see
Peg for dust"
He looked into Gays eyes. "Girl,
what is this strange power you
have over menu"
my fatal beauty" Gay
mourned, and they laughed to-
gether.
Then Gay noticed the clock on
the dashboard, and gave a cry of
dismay.
"Three minutes Of eight! Breck.
hurry, or I'll be late for my ap-
pointment"
Darn your appointments" he
complained disgustedly, but at
IGay's insistence he pressed the
star er, and the car purred
smoothly up the street again to-
ward the bright haze of lights
that was Woodward avenue.
Honey. I'd rather spend an eve
ming with you, than with any other
girl in the world. You've got 'em
all stopped"
His free hand met and held
Gays. but nothing more was said
till they drew up before the studio
building. Then, as he helped her
out, II reckon I'll be seeing you
tomorrow night at Ads party. But
I won't be able to dance with you
often. Peggy'n be there: and
when 1 say that child's jealous,
mean! You understand how I'm
placed, don't you, precious ?"
Gay nodded. That's quite ala
right" she assured him, coolly.
tits not all right. I hate it.
But business is business, honey.
lamb, and can't afford to get in
wrong with the Pencils"
AS he spoke, Gay remembered
what Mark Vance had said:
l"Charlie Pennell can't make up
his mind, whether or not to come
in on the DEAL"
OF course, Brock had to play
safe. A breakup with Peggy at
this time would undoubtedly spoil
everything. She couldn't exactly
blame Breck for the careful game
he and Wayne Adams were play
ing. But still
We'll have little private date
next week, just you and T." Breck
was saying, as he got bacl. into
the car. Good night, Beautiful"
And before Gay could answer, he
was gone.
