And only one telephone. Do you think she
expects to use our telephone
Il shall be quite firm about that. | shall
tell her she must have one of her own in
stalled" Laura heart beat in funny sick
fashion in her throat. and her cheeks burned.
Never had she felt so frightened, or so alone.
Sir Horace came round and talked to her
that afternoon through the window.
'Er, you are. of course, having your own
telephone installed, presume. Miss Credit"
'Of course" cried Laura, before she knew
she was going to say it. "Oh. of course" She
wanted desperately not to have any un-
pleasantness. To her surprise she found she
wasn't nearly as brave as she thought She
wouldn't mind putting in another tele-
phone, if it was going to oil the wheels. hope
you are fairly comfortable
There seems to be stuff left in one of the
cupboards. Perhaps you would kindly re-
move it.

If go near the kitchen those two just stand
and look at me as if was breaking in. And
the mess it's in now, Miss! My beautiful
floor, and the new stove -"
Yes, Mile, | know" said Laura. It's
not worked out quite as expected"
IF we was refugees in their house, they'd
have to let us use the kitchen, Miss"
YES Mile l know"
The whole thing had become such tangle
that Laura couldn't see her way out of it.
She said hurriedly, I've been thinking, Millie,
perhaps you'd better stay at home for little
while Until | can arrange something. Per-
haps take another little house. for you and
me-"
Even as she said it, she knew it was out of
the question. She got no rent from the Wam
poles, so how could she afford to pay any
thing? The truth was she did not want Mile
to be a witness of her defeat.
I've been thinking I'd get married, when
Willie has his leave But what about you,

locking, but then. thinking they might be
short of hanging space, had left empty save
for top shelf. In her one bed sitting room
she had no place for storing anything. If she
was to live in here entirely, she hardly had
space to move
And my wife Thinks continued Sir
Horace, that it would be better if your maid
did not come to the kitchen at ALL Otherwise
there will be trouble"
Where do they think l am going to cook,
thought Laura, desperately. Over bonfire of
leaves? Even the ordinary refugee was guar
anteed access to cooking space.
She had intended asking if she might go in
and listen to the war bulletins on her own
wireless, but now her heart failed her and
they did not invite her. In the end she listened,
her ear against the wall, for spectacular bulle-
tins. Its very bad wireless" said Lady
Wampole, from time to time
At the end of fortnight Mile came to
Laura one morning. Mile was a pleasant
country lass, who had run Laura's cottage for
some time.
I'm sorry, Miss. can't stand it any longer.
Evening star., 1940-08-25

she to do? She was getting more and more
frightened of the Wampoles She was getting
to the state where she crept out of her side
door, looking round apprehensively, like
mouse trying to locate the cat before emerging.
There was a sound in the lane behind.
Someone paused and leaned over Lauras
gate. She looked round and saw woman and
little boy. The boy was dressed in gray
jersey and blue knickers. He had in his hand
long piece of string, at the end of which
were tied three large chestnut leaves.
He thinks they're his dogs" said the
woman. Don't you, Johnnie? Kids are daft"
Like me, thought Laura, incredibly drawn
to Johnnie - making treasure out of pile
of dead leaves. Johnnie took no notice of
either of them. He assisted his three hounds
over the gate and told them to sit
Goes on like that for hours" said the
woman. mo trouble, he isn't Give him bit
of string and some wool and you'll never
know what he won't make out of it, He had
two pieces of paper all last week, sewed to-
gether with green button. Don't you come

Miss" asked Mile, who was really fond of
her. "I'd meant to stick to you like till the
end of the war, Miss. But it gets me down."
''Oh, I'll be all right" said Laura with con-
fdence she did not feel. They will give me
a hand occasionally, I'm sure"
What, those two, Miss" Millie inclined
her head in the direction of Tweedledee and
Tweedledum.
They are really quite nice, Mile. If you
get to understand them," said Laura, ear
nestly. She did not want lot of talk. She
would 60 and see Jan, sinking her pride, and
ask his advice. She remembered the twinkle
in his eye when she asked if she could put her
car in his shed. Perhaps Jan had guessed then
how the land lay.
Millie departed. Laura settled down to a
diet of crackers and canned food. From her
kitchen, the scientific cooker sent savory
smells three times a day, but the Wampoles
never invited Laura to partake of them. And
when she worked in the garden. they some
times stood shoulder to shoulder, watching
her from the sitting room window. Though
the arrangement had been explained to them
Evening star., 1940-08-25

board. She thought of the stewed partridge
and green peas in the oven of the scientific
cooker, and her mouth watered. From the
distance came humping sounds They were
moving furniture, changing everything.
IT WAS silly to let such waves of desolation
swamp one, because everything had not gone
exactly as she had planned. The Wampoles
we're old and tired 1t was silly to take it for
granted that they were going to be grasping
and se;hsh just because things went wrong at
first. Tomorrow they will be quite different
said Laura brightly and determinedly
Tomorrow, however, they were much the
same Through the thin walls of the old cot
tage came the sound of unending means and
complaints The draughts. The cold. The
inadequate furnishings: mo washstand in the
bedrooms No bedside tables! suppose one
can hardly expect the comforts of life in
house of this class. And is she, do you sup
pose, remaining here indefnitely?'
Sir Horace's reply was muffled. Il don't
think we shall stand it if she is around all the
time. There is little enough room as there is.
Evening star., 1940-08-25

in it. Laura said brightly, hiding her disap-
pointment at their absence of enthusiasm,
You'll soon find your way about" She left
them. When in doubt about people, leave
them
The Wampoles were still standing looking
about them as people might when a tidal
wave has washed them up onto a desert
island The warm enthusiasm she had looked
for on their faces was absent. Sir Horace said
stiffiy, Can you tell me where can put my
car? see there is already Car here in the
garage"
Laura flushed. She had taken it for granted
the Wampoles would make their own arrange
ments. She said quickly, That's mine -
But | can easily move it out. She waited for
Sir Horace to say, Certainly not, dear lady"
He had always been most courteous in Wey-
mouth. But gravely he inclined his handsome
head IF you will be so kind
There was nowhere for her to put the car.
She must either run it down to the village
Evening star., 1940-08-25

plainly enough at the start, they resented her
presence. They hated seeing her about the
garden, which by some mental twist they
now considered their garden
Yet at this, the busiest time of the year.
they never did anything in it. Rudolf, the
handy man, came once week. and twice Sir
Horace took him off his work to saw wood.
Ar EVER widening intervals Laura came face
to face with Sir Horace, and he would then
give her long list of all the things that we're
wrong with her house.
Il suppose you do not live here in the
