wanted to wander out under the
stars. I was drunk with dreams.
But it was not a bad substitute
to sit in the Turkish Retreat" and
talk about Mimi. 1t was CHASTITY

and gold brocade making a sump-

I flushed, do 1 wear it on my
sleeve like that? Everybody
seems to know it and talk about
it."
"Oh, well, reticence is old-fash-
toned. Frankness is the fashion,
especially if it is unpleasant.
That's why hate them ALL
She said it without particle Of
vindictiveness- calmly stating a
fact.
"They haven't held thing back
from me-" she went on. I'm an
interloper. And they seem to
think there's no reason why they
shouldn't tell me So"
I did not know what to- say. I
was uncomfortable. Then sudden
ly she flung bomb at my feet. II
want you to marry Mimi"
I sat there staring at her. IT
mean it," she went on. "I like her
better than any Of the rest. And
like you. And I hate Mrs. LIE
Brun. She's set on having Mimi
marry Andy. And-I'd like to dis
appoint her. Perhaps can help
you little.''
There was, it seemed to me, a
touch Of treason in her suggestion
of an alliance between us.
II haven't any right to hope" 1
told her.
"Yes,"> she said, "you have"
She leaned forward, sort Of pink
and ponderous fairy godmother.
"She's in love with you, Jerry"
The next morning reviewed my
experiences of the past "a hours.
I had intensified Andy's feeling Of
animosity. I had gained a some
what unwelcone ally in Olga, and
the kiss waited from Minis
fingers seemed to me the sign and
seal of her surrender.
I felt that I must see her. And
after breakfast I tried to telephone.
Her mothers voice answered.
Mimi was still in bed. And she
had busy day before her. Would
I call up later?
l called up later. Mimi was out.
This time a maid answered. She
did not know when Miss lie Brun
would be in.
Being thus thwarted, 1 tried to
write on the play. But my
thoughts fled to Mimi. l was rest
less, unable to keep my mind on
words and words and

I gave it up and took a walk.
