CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

-
1T WAS on the tip of Fabienne's
tongue to say that she'd step out
side and hail a taxi when Chris
said she must 60 out and get word
to Larry. She bit her lip to keep
from speaking sarcastically. It
wasn't really the sick girls fault
that Fabienne's nerves Were frayed
to the breaking point. Chris was
not accountable for much that she
said and did.
True, her fever had abated, but
she coughed often and her cough
was hard and dry, and each time
that it ripped from her throat, Fa-
bienne's feeling of alarm in
creased.
There's still some mustard left"
she said. Pm going to mix some
paste and put it on your chest"
1T feels sore, Chris said. But
1 don't care. It's only necessary to
get through to Larry"
II will, just as soon as 1 car"
Fabienne told her.
You could take the car right
now. The snow has let up. Perhaps
he could get out here tonight"
Fabienne ran to the window. 1t
was dark. Dark as midnight. Only
the ground was light. The winter
night was upon them. Another
night, Fabienne knew. that They'd
have to spend in the country be-
cause she couldn't get n car over
those roads through which she had
plowed, slipping into deep ruts.
She was beginning to be very
hungry, and visions of steamine
food made her feel dizzy. On the
pantry shelf there was only one car
of soup left, tin of asparagus and
one of corned beef hash. She'd USED
all the condensed milk for Sonny
Resigning herself to a supper Of
stale crackers and cold asparagus
of pale hue. she opened the last
tin Of soup for Sonny, heated it anC
broke up half Of her crackers into
the mixture. She doubted if corneC
beef hash was invalid's food, but
that was all there was for Chris
If they were marooned much
longer, they'd have to get along
on a diet of oatmeal.
The radio was on a table beside
Chris cot. When Fabienne came ir
with a tray that contained the
mustard plaster for Chris chest, as
we'll as her dinner, she was sitting
up, fiddling with the dial. 1T won't

Fabienne slapped the plaster or
