CHAPTER 4

NOW THAT she had less than
81 left, following the theft on the
park bench, Noel knew she would
have to get a job IF some kind at
once. The money she had would
probably last day or so with
careful managing. After that,
she'd be penniless.
Noel was thankful that she had
eaten a good breakfast. She might
be able to go without her lunch
and not miss it so much. And per-
haps Julian would ask her to have
dinner with him at the De Luxe.
It seemed very queer, almost
laughable, in fact, that she. Noel
Shayne, should be counting her
nickels and hoping that a man
would invite her to dinner, so she
wouldn't have TO spend part Of the
little money she had left. But
then, of course, she wanted to
have dinner with Julian, with or
without IN excuse. Just = be
near him, to be within sound of
his voice, was as near heaven as
she could ever know on earth, she
told herself.
One thing was certain, in order
to save what she could. she'd have
to walk all the way out to Beiye-
dere place to see about the COVER
ness position. She knew exactly
where it was for Belvedere place
ran into Belvedere drive, long
and pretty boulevard, which was
only a short distance from her own
home. Then if she succeeded in
getting the place, she could afford
bus fare back. Noel had ridden on
a bus only once in her life.
That had been when she was re-
turning from party in the coun-
try in her little coupe, and had car
trouble, several years ago. She
had telephoned for a service car,
and had ridden an interurban bus
into town.
But Noel was accustomed to
walking, for she had played golf
and tennis a lot. However, long
before she reached her destination,
she was thankful that she was
wearing the oxfords. She'd never
have managed this long distance
in high heels.
AS it was, it was past noon when
she reached the number on Belve-
dere place. The house was an
enormous structure of gray stone.
For a moment, Noel stood at the
big stone entrance gates conscious
Of feeling of panic. She was
afraid her inexperience in applying
for position might cause her to
do the wrong thing.
And this is what happened. She
walked up to the imposing front
door, with it's beautiful fanlight
and touched the bell.
The door was opened by :. stiff
looking butler in mauve livery who
held his head so high he had to
look down his nose to see her.
'I've come to answer the adver-
tisement for a governess," Noel
tried to say in a steady, confident
voice.
"All applicants for jobs go to the
side door," the butler said without
moving a muscle of his face. He
closed the door with little bang.
For a moment Noel stood there
looking angrily at the closed door.
Then with a philosophical shrug,
she walked around a tagged path
to what she supposed would be the
side door. She hadn't known that
a governess was classed with all
other domestic help. But she't re-
member it next time. -
When she reached the side door.
it was thrown Instantly open I'h&,

 There appears to us to be considerable logic to Marshall's conclusion.
