done. March knew all the details
of his and Abigail's plans so well.
Although she wouldn't admit it, even
to herself, she had begun to grow
little bored with it all. The lodge
would contain lounge and a dining
room, with sleeping quarters for
guests who preferred such accommo-
dations to the more rustic comfort of
the cottages. The lodge could be
kept open in the fall through the
hunting season. And next year, if
things went well, more cottages could
be added. A pier had already been
constructed, secondhand boats bought
and calked and painted. Brent had
accomplished so much and his enthus-
iasm was boundless. He worked cheer
fully from dawn to dusk, returning
to the little house ravenously hun
cry and heavy with WEAKNESS.
But March wasn't tired. Pent-up
energy, for which she could find no
adequate outlet, made her restless
and moody. It was easy enough to
hide her growing discomfort from
Brent, since his very presence did so
much to dispel it. But somtimes, feel
ing his grandmother's sharp, old eyes
upon her, March wondered how much
she suspected. She was genuinely
fond of Abigail, but, aside from their
love for Brent, they had little in COM
mon. 1t was the strength of this
shared love that made the older wo-
mans perceptions so acute where any
thing that touched Brent's happiness
was concerned, that made her so fear
fully aware that March was the heart
and core of that happiness.
Perhaps, March told herself with
something akin to desperation, it
would be better when the season ac-
tually opened, when there were peo-
pie about. And surely there would
be ways then in which she could make
herself useful, jobs she could take off
Brent's hands, for his good and her
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1940-05-10

own. In the meantime, she could read
and help Abigail and walk through
the woods
A squirrel dashed across the faint
path, it's small grey body swift and
animate in the stiffness. March
watched it until it flashed up a tree
and disappeared. Then she went on.
Presently she came to the low wall
that bordered the Morgan grounds.
It had been buried in snow the day
she came here with Brent. Now
March sat upon it and swung her legs
over easily. She smiled family, won
dering what the Morgans' reaction
would be if they knew how frequent
ly she occupied their terrace. She
made her way to it now, up the flag
stone walk and between the sentinel
spruces that guarded the entrance.
Sitting on the low balustrade of sun
warmed stone, March stared out a.
cross the rough, blue water. The
view was lovely from here and the
waves, tapping on the beach below,
ebbed and flowed with a faint, audible
rhythm.

ders, hurrying her along. "Let's call
on them"
But March hung back. "Mightn't
there be someone there? A caretak-
err"
Brent shook his head. "Some times
Griff has house-party over the holt
days, so be can get in some ice-boat-
ing. Aside from that, the place is
always closed up except in season.
But we can look in windows. And
next summer I'll show you some of
the Morgans-not that we move in
the same social circles, but occasion
ally our paths do cross"
Trudging along with the spring
wind tossing her hair, March's
thoughts dwelt on that day. And
there had been others like it that
stood out as clearly in her memory.
Yet when she tried to recapture some
part of the high exhilaration of those
first weeks after she Joined Brent,
she could not. In its place was a
sharp sense of emptiness and loss.
They had been happy then, utterly
and unquestionably content. Perhaps
Brent was completely happy still.
March knew he was content. This
life satisfied him, supplying some ele-
mental necessity he could not find in
city living. Work for his hands and
mind, freedom from the office routine
he hated, simplicity and peace and
time for thinking. But to March, who
was keyed to a faster flow of living,
the change was too abrupt. She had
tried to adapt herself. She was try
ing still, striving to fill the endless
days with any sort of activity, to sub
stitute new interests for those she
had given up.
1t had been easier at first. If
March missed her work and all the
friends and gayety she had left be-
hind her in the city, the loss was SUBJ
merged in the infinitely greater de-
light of being with Brent again, of
spending richly satisfying hours in
his company. Brent had leisure then
and he took March with him wherever
he went, introducing her to his
friends, planning little trips to var
ious points of interest for her amuse-
ment. On Sunday afternoons they
Joined the crowd of young people that
congregated on the snowy slopes near
the town for skiing and tobogganing.
And afterwards, in the blue dusk,
March and Brent tramped home,
and hungry, for the hot
drinks Abigail always had waiting,
for long, lazy evenings before the
fire.
But as spring came on and the
SHOWS melted, March found herself
with more and more idle time on her
hands, in direct ratio to the steady in
crease in Brent's activities. Now he
building of cottages occupied him and
there was still the enlargement and
of the log house to be
