of thing like this" his gesture
reached up toward the towering
heights, "can look upward once in a
WHILE"
"Then this" Linda said, "is your
building"
She thought: What does Steve
know of it-how can he know it as
Mike and I did, watching it grow,
seeing it from above, as it took shape
and form and substance?
"Not exactly" Steve answered
"May I tell you all about it, Linda.
please? Tonight"
Linda's look brought an answer to
her unspoken question as he added.
"Come to my place for dinner, won't
you? My aunt is there-a perfectly
respectable maiden aunt"
Linda answered quickly: cali right,
Steve, tonight"
At her own desk in DR.. Thorpe's
office, Linda's thought flew back to
the night before. Bill had seemed
moody, distant, for the first time since
their evenings together had started.
Perhaps respite tonight, while she
had dinner with Steve and Steve's
maiden aunt" wuoldn't be such a
bad interruption, at that.
There had been two signal revela-
tions from Bill Blaine last night. First
was hint of trouble in his own office
that things weren't going so smooth
ly between DR.. Blaine and DR.. Rem
quist, the other young protege of DR..
Frank Carter Vance. The other had
been the disclosure about Jack.
In both instances, Linda saw a re-
because it marked the first
time that he had ever spoken to her
about his family. Nor had Bill made
any move, direct, or overt, to take the
blushing Linda home and introduce
her to the folks.
The first had come during their
ride down the peninsula. for dinner
before they returned to go dancing.
Bill, obviously brooding over some
trouble, was uncommunica-
tive and far from his usual engaging
self.
"Grief at the office" he had ex-
planned it. "Sorry if I'm not very
good company"
She hadn't learned much, but she
did find out that the trouble stem
med from his relationship with young
Rennie Renquist and that there had
been quarrel of some sort.
"It would be different" Bill had
said, eff I didn't like the guy so much.
And if he weren't almost one of the
family, SO to speak. He's Merry's-I
that's the kid sister-old faithful.
Always hanging around and hoping
she she gives him a break.
81 don't know what's got into hin"
Bill had added, cor why he should
take himself so heavy, all of a sud-
ien."
The other family circle" revelation
had come while they were dancing at
The hotel. An Immediately gromed
man, heavy about the equator and
white hair smoothly combed
back, had come to their table.
When Bill, with considerable defer
ence, introduced him as Albert Law
son, Linda didn't need to hear his
name second time. AL Lawson was

dining room in Steve's modest apart
ment, Linda learned more of what a
remarkable character Aunt Cynthia
Hubbard really was.
That was before Steve broke the
big news of the evening-the occasion
for the dinner and Linda's visit.
Continued next week

and influentially, in town. Everybody
knew AL Lawson.
"Had to be nice to him." Bill ex-
planned after Lawson had left. "He's
my brothers keeper"
"Why, Bill" Linda had exclaimed,
"you didn't tell me you had broth
err"
Ssssh!" Bill said. eve don't talk
about Jack much in our family. He's
the black sheep. An attorney"
She subsequently learned that the
so-called "black sheep" was John Raj
ston Blaine, Jr., Bills younger broth
er, who was in AL Lawson's law office.
Bill had explained ~. R. has funny
ideas. That's my father. He believes
in letting a boy choose his own life,
his work, his politics and his wife;
choose them for himself, after he's
grown up. Dad'll gladly help you
choose hat or fishing pole, but
it's hands off those four. Otherwise,
he might have made Jack see the
light"
Linda was thinking of Bills fam
ily-of the sister she had met and
the brother she hadn't met-when
Steve came to get her that night. She
was thinking of Bills father, too, but
Linda had no way of knowing that
she did know him-that J. r. Blaine
was Mr.. Avon.
After they arrived at Steve Hub
bard's apartment, Linda wondered
why on earth Steve had driven in his
car to get her. 1t was less than three
blocks away. No wonder he came
over so often to see Mickey!
Excuse me, I'll have to speak to
the chef minute" Steve said, after
he had taken her coat. When he had
gone to the kitchen Linda looked a.
round and wondered, without being
too surprised, at the absence of his
aunt. Pretty old, that one, about the
aunt, she thought.
1t was then that the pleasant voice,
aged but sweet, had interrupted her
thought, perfectly timed.
you're Linda, DEAR" the voice said.
II don't feel that we really need an

Stevens aunt"
GLOW do you do, Miss }" Linda
faltered.
She noticed that the voice was that
Of silver-haired, tiny woman who
had entered the room from a side
door.
"Just Aunt Cynthia, DEAR" the lit
tie old lady said. 81 feel that I've
known you for long, long time.
I've seen you so many times"
Linda wondered again at that re-
mark. She saw that Aunt Cynthia
leaned upon a cane, saw that her frail
frame was clad in a warm dress of
maroon shade, with white trim at the
throat.
Aunt Cynthia was gropingly seating
herself in chair as Steve entered
from the kitchen.
And then it was that Linda saw
Aunt Cynthia Hubbard was blind.
"Sorry to be so long," Steve said,
as he barged in through the swinging
loor from the kitchen, "the Chef"
He halted, Linda" he said, may
