Charlie found himself extraordi-
narily moved either by her unconscious
beauty or by the nerve and control
she had shown in the face of being
considerably upset by his bantering. A
curious possibility filtered through his
brain and effervesced into nothingness.
The possibility Spike had mentioned.
The possibility that, while Irene had
amused him and appealed to him, it
was Margit who had been responsible
for his continued interest in the house
of AgneW. She had a hundred times
as much lingo as Irene. No doubt of
that. Still, girl as deeply set in
elf-righteousness and self-assurance

partner in this capricious world. 1t

Good health and a good game were

who had intended to use the hours on

thinking that perhaps a more friendly

Talking in friendly way about any,

was against Margt's nature and her

nature and principles were difficult to
maintain.

He glanced out of the corner of his
eyes and saw that she was getting mad
again. I'm going to get divorce and
marry her.
MarRit looked away so that he could
not observe her expression. She felt
helpless and foolish. She also felt
like crying. Finally she said, Lets
play. It's your honor"
He stood up gracefully and drove.
At that precise instant Irene awak-
ened. She wondered for little while
where she WAS. Then she remembered.
She shuddered-in spite of the fact
that sunlight WAS painting the whole
room. She looked at the other bed
Margit WAS already dressed and out
She would be.
Irene ordered coffee by telephone
and then strolled unhappily to the
window. She got the shock of her life.
