Her car was parked almost i'm

came out of the door looking for
it, and was about to open the door
when a woman came up silently be-
hind her and caught her arm.
She turned to face a blond girl,
extensively dressed, but with
face so haggard it was shocking.
There was something in the swollen
features and tear-streaked cheeks
that was vaguely familiar to Fa-
bienne, but she couldn't remember
who this strange woman was,
clinging to her desperately.
"Fabienne" she said hoarsely,
I've got to talk to you. Don't you
remember me? I'm Chris"

bienne remembered that little bell

Parsons mother! This sick, desper-

Wonderfully. If the kids don't

Fabienne looked at her wrist

Eyes, it is important"
Fabiennc came back and sat
down, wishing she had said nothing
to indicate she knew Ellen was out
with Nicky the night before. Ellen
was so plainly embarrassed.
Il was out with Nicky," she said.
Camilla Morse mentioned she'd
seen you, She thought you were

ut doesn't matter in the least,
Ellen. Didn't you once tell me that
there was no need of explanations
between us? Why shouldn't you be
out with Nicky? I have no strings
on him. He doesn't belong to me.
Ellen bit her lip nervously. She
didn't know whether Fabienne was
piqued or not. Her voice was so
level.
Nevertheless, want to tell you
about it. He rang up about nine
and I said you-you wouldn't be

"Oh, for heavens sake, Ellen
what difference does it make? she
asked irritably. And, aware of the
irritation, she added hastily, did
you enjoy yourself?"
Ellen nodded.
Then that's all that's neces-

The exchange did not make Ellen
feel any better about it but, obvi-
ouSly, there was nothing more to
say. To cover her embarrassment,
she said, "Have you heard Bills
news ?"
Fabienne had got up a second
time to go back to her rehearsal.
She paused at the door to turn
quickly when Ellen asked that
question.
She shook her head, asking for
news with her eyes.

Again Fabienne shook her head
negatively
