March eschoed family, "Love d?

"Surely you knew he loved you."
Pats eyes were kind. II can't mag

"He told me-" March admitted. "But

Pat finished for her. "You see, he
only loved once before. That nearly
wrecked him. She was" Pat shrug
ged, delicately, expressively, "the sort
of girl who had her family waiting
outside the courthouse after the cere-
lnony to drag her off and demand an
annulment. With money. A great
deal of money. And Griff was very
young.
March hadn't known about that.
Griff had never told her the details
of that early marriage. Pity stirred
in her. She brought her attention
back with an effort to what Pat was
saying.
81 don't know what happened be-
tween you and your husband, except
that you left him. People talk, you
know, and Kenoqua's like any other

wasn't too greatly to blame, or that if
he was, you can find it in your heart
to forgive him. He's suffered, March,
more than you can possibly know.
He'll come to you as soon as he gets
home, as soon as he learns you're liv-

ing apart from your husband. Is
there's there any hope?"
Her voice faltered, died, but her
steady eyes held burning question.
March said slowly, "But-I'm not
divorced, Pat. Perhaps I never shall
be, unless Brent wants it that way.
You see, I still love him. I'm-sorry
about Griff. Please believe that. But
there isn't anything I can do ="
"But you'll be kind to him, March"
Pats voice and eyes beseeched her.
you'll try to understand" She went
on after moment in a different tone.
There's a kind of recklessness about
Griff that's always frightened me. I
can't be sure what he'd do if he's driv-
en- too far or hurt too deeply. There
are so few things, so few people, he
really cares about. You're one Of
them, March. And I'm one. It gives
us-a certain responsibility"
Impulsively March laid her hand
over Pats. She said, her voice husky
II will be kind, Pat. And 1 under
stand-better than you know :"
All that afternoon at the studio bits
of that conversation kept recurring
to March. And her thoughts were
troubled while her fingers moved au-
tomatically, while she sketched and
spaced and measured. Life was a
tangle, patternless, almost purpose
less. Griff loving her and her love
all for Brent. And Brent? He was
the unknown quantity in this equa-
ton. She had thought he loved her,
she had been so confidently sure. But
there had been no word from him, no
sign, during the months of their sepa-
ration. Was that love, choked by jeal-
ousy and suspicion, frozen stiff and
hard on coating of pride? Was he
missing her as she missed him, want
ing her with every breath, waiting, as
she was waiting, for some word, some
indication of regret?
March thought, with kind of won

der, If he is waiting and hoping, I
wouldn't know. Any more than he
knows how I feel.
Pride was so pitifully unimportant,
compared. to their love. They had
parted in bitter anger. Each of them
had said, perhaps, more than he intend
ed, more than he meant. If she wrote
But it was never to be written, that
letter whose lines had haunted her
mind during the long afternoon. The
words that sang in her thoughts were
never to be put on paper although
they lived on in her heart, to beat
sometimes against her eardrums with
a sound like weeping.
There was a letter for her in the
mailbox when she reached home that
night, addressed in an unfamiliar
hand. No sense of foreboding troubl-
ed March, climbing the carpeted stairs
and letting herself into her apartment.
She switched on the light, tore open
the square white envelope. It was a
brief letter. March glanced first at
the signature. Her eyes widened at
sight of Sara Gregory's name. But
not until she had actually begun to
read the words written so unequivo-
cally in Sara's round, clear hand, did
apprehension close upon her heart,
crushing it, so that her breath came
slowly and with difficulty, as though
she had been running.
Brent wanted a divorce. He and
Sara loved each other. They meant
to marry. But Brent hesitated to
write to March, feeling that any ac-
ton should be left to her. So Sara
had undertaken to attend to it for
him. She couldn't she said, go on like
this indefinitely, without any hope of
happiness. She hoped March would
understand.
There was nothing vindictive about
the letter. There was such frank

two hands caught and held March's
eagerly, dissipating that initial
strangeness.
She said, cts nice to see you again
You're looking WELL"
Her eyes probed MARGINS deeply,
but the dark gaze did not finch
March answered simply, smiling back
at her. Thanks. So are you. It was

Pat shook her head. cit was self
ish. WANTED to see you. You're not
the sort of person one forgets easily
and-you've been on my mind"
She didn't elaborate that remark
until later. Over luncheon in one of
the hotels small dining rooms their
conversation was pleasantly imper-
sonal. But with coffee and cigarettes
Pats mood seemed to alter. Or per-
haps her casual bright assurance had
been a mask that faded now, leaving
in it's place a look of uncertainty and
question:
She said, "I'm going to be unpleas-
antly direct, March. Perhaps you'll
resent it and refuse to tell me the
things I want to know. But l hope
not. Pm direct sort of person. l
think you are, too. And-however
prying my questions seem, this is my
business. Because Griff is my broth
er and he's concerned, 1 think, in the
things that have happened to YOU"
March's fingers tensed on her Gig
arctic, her face that was so still, so
expressionaless, suddenly paled. But
she said nothing and Pat went on.
These were things she had wanted to
say for such long time, that she had
thought so often. They flowed smooth
ly now from her lovely lips and the
low cadences of her voice carried SYM
pathy and understanding and a stark
honesty that induced, not resentment,
but respect.
Pat said, 81 know my brother so
well, March. I'm seven years older
than he. I've felt, since our mother
died, responsible for him in a way.
Perhaps that seems odd to you, when
he's a grown man and capable of look
ing after himself. But in some ways
he isn't. He's so vulnerable. He
wants things so dreadfully, goes after
them so hard. And when he loses, as
he so often seems to lose, it does some
thing horrible to him. Something
corrosive. It eats away little more
of his self-confidence."
"He always seems very sure Of HIM
SELF" MARGINS voice was level, almost
without infection.
HE seems So" Pat agreed, "but
he isn't. l know. He's always had
too much of the wrong things,
money, complete freedom from respon
sibility, leisure. No ones ever ex-
pected anything from him in the way
of steadiness, or sustained effort. I
was reared in the same way, but it's
different with woman. Life teach
es us to face things. It's always been
too easy for Griff to write check, or
run away-until now, March. He has
run away, but it isn't helping. And
so he's coming back"
March repeated blankly, run a.
way?" Coming back? I don't under
stand"
The lovely disciplined mouth of the
Countess Cassano trembled. She said,
II haven't seen my brother since you
have. He didn't come back to the
lake at all. He's been in England and
France and Italy and China. I've had
letters occasionally. Such unhappy let
tiers. He's learned what everyone has
