she asked.
"Well, you must admit that my
English is a little different from
Hal's," Tory Wales said, her light
eyes, startling in contrast with her
skin, twinkling with derisive humor
which reminded him of Kate. "When
his family was here in October we
practically had to use deaf and
dumb signals. I'm learning,
though" She glanced up at her fam
ce who smiled as though he found
her very amusing, relaxed against
the upholstery, graceful legs
crossed, and made half turn to-
ward John, seated between her and
the girl in red, who, now that rein
forcements had arrived, showed no
inclination to leave. "When are you
planning TO locate in New York, DR..
Houghton?"
II don't expect to locate in New
York." John said, little startled at
the question.
"Oh, aren't you going to practice
here?" the girl in red asked. eve

"Why 'naturally'?" John asked
smiling, but with the uncomfortable
feeling that he was being deliberate
ly quizzed.
"Well, Gays connections are here.
We thought-That's very disappoint-
ing" The girl in red gave ripple
of laughter which held, John
thought, some confusion. II was
planning to develop a chronic all
ment. After all, one must be loyal
to ones friends"
sI appreciate your interest" John
said, "but shouldn't have private
practice in any event."
''Dr. Houghton is scientist, dar-
ling" Tory Wales said speaking
across him to the girl in red.
That's very interesting" The
Englishman lowered his glass to look
at John.
"Are you working with a founda-
tion?" the boy in the tweed suit
asked.
Nothing so impressive" John
laughed briefly. "Just now I'm as
sisting physician in Portland. Gen.

At repeated sound from behind
them, Gay drew away somewhat
hastily. John, too, turned. The

"What is it, Suki?" Gay asked.

They stood waiting for the porter
to call taxi.

She glanced up at him, then quick

I'm not hungry"
A taxi slid in beside them. The
porter opened the door. John put
her in, supervised the slowing of
his luggage, sat beside her. The cab
moved out into traffic. She glanced
up at him. He was looking at her.
The hurt bewilderment in his eyes,
the difficult smile that moved across
his lips, restored warmth and a
feeling of tenderness.
''Hello" she said softly.
"Hello!" His arms went around
her. Their lips met and held. Pres

sat.

with Gays smile and Gays trick of
crinkling her eyes. "I was pre-

CHAPTER VIII

The last record in the electric
Victrola whirred to a stop. John
led the small vivacious brunette with
whom he had been dancing to the
davenport facing the fire where he
had sat with Gay.
you're wonderful dancer" she
said, settling herself in a swirl of
scarlet chiffon.
"You sound surprised" John
smiled. "We aborigines who live in
Maine don't confine our amusement
to war dances, by any means"
She glanced at him doubtfully,
then laughed. "The mystery is
clearing up," she said.
Mystery"
"Well, we have wondered, YOU
know" she went on with an air of
artless frankness too deliberate to
be entirely sincere. II mean, Gay
goes dashing off into the wilds and
then comes home and breaks her
engagement and won't tell us any,
thing about you except that you're a
doctor and her god-father's nephew.
You can't imagine how curious
we've been to meet you."
Here it was again. John had been
obliged to respond to that approach
many times during the evening as
Gays friends had arrived and de-
parted in restless, animated groups.
"You must find me very disap-
pointing" he said, making no effort
to re-phrase reply which, so far.
had appeared to be adequate.
''Not at ALL" Her bright brown
eyes sparkled at him through curl
ing Iashes. "Of course most of us
met you at Gays debutante party
but we didn't"
"-pay any attention to me?" He
felt that his smile was becoming
fixed.
I'D meant to say that we didn't
| dream all this romance was brew
ing. 1t is romantic, you know l
mean you never expect such thing
| to happen to one of your friends"
On the surface, at least, it was
all very friendly. Perhaps he only
imagined that under their apparent
| ly casual acceptance of him, these
friends of Gays were deliberately
making him feel an outsider in sub
tie ways of which he was conscious
but which he could not define. That
was natural, he told himself. Todd
Janeway was one of them. His
name had been mentioned, during
the evening, in connection with
Christmas Eve of last year, with ref
erence to the Army-Navy football
| game, in casual reminiscence.
Todd's sister, Ellen, was here, the
slight graceful girl in the tailored
hat who, coming in with the good
looking red-haired boy in tweeds,
had explained that they were or
their way out to the Janeway coun-
try place for Christmas.
