been silly. She drove into her garage
in a cold sweat, everything blurred
before her eyes.
When she awoke. Virginia found
herself in bed. Joe sitting beside her,
holding her hand. He said. Are you
all right, Ginny? You gave us bad
scare"
Virginia smiled ruefully. did /
faint? don't remember getting out of
the car. It's nothing serious. just my
ankle, isn't it?"
DOC Quale left strict orders to keep
you off your feet for two weeks"
Virginia made face. "T'll be bored,
lying in bed and not really sick"
Joe leaned over and kissed her
cheek. I'm glad Esther is still here to
look after you," he said.
Esther" Virginia had almost for
gotten her. did she tell you l gave
her notice to leave?"
He nodded. and left her.
Esther appeared at the door. Il
hope you're feeling better now." she
said, quietly. and with sincerity.
Virginia smiled. a little uneasily.
Thank YOU" she said. "By the way.
who found me in the car? Was it you?"
81 heard you drive the car into the
garage and when you didn't come in. l
was worried. l brought you into the
house"
"You carried me in?" Virginia cried.
81 was afraid to leave you in the
car. Mr.. Salentine told me about your
- expected child. I'd like to say that
I'm very happy to hear it,"
Virginia said. thoughtfully, DO
you like children?"
I'm very fond of them. When l
first came to the house, Mrs. Harriet
was so eager for child and MIR.
Salentine made plans for their son.
That was shortly before her accident.
She never spoke of child again"
Virginia felt confused. excited. This
was an Esther she had not known.
Esther left. and Virginia, propped
up comfortably on two fat pillows, let
her eyes wander aimlessly about the
room. Crisply starched white cur
tains, laundered fawlessly by Esther,
marched across the six windows in the
large room 1t was room of peace and
quiet, a room for gracious living.
AGLINrING sun came in. Virginia felt
its warmth penetrate her blanket and
caress her bones. She closed her eyes
and fell asleep. When she awoke she
saw Esther, in blue percale uniform,
standing by her bed. 1--WE brought
you some tea and toast" she said.
Thank you, Esther" Virginia said.
Her throat frightened. OF course Esther
was being paid, but there was some
thing in her attitude. as if she wanted
to bother with her!
Mrs. Salentine." Esther said, "I've
been making out lists and notations of
everything, so that you'll have records
when leave. And l hope you won't
mind if say something" She pumped
the pillows behind Virginia's back and
smoothed the sheets with nursing skill.
'Td like to suggest that you have
your new housekeeper eat in the
kitchen, alone It's different here now"
Virginia made no answer. She fin
ished her tea and toast, and Esther
went off with her tray. Virginia lay
quietly. and suddenly she thought of
Lois's prophetic words. She had not
thought of them since Lois had said
them. You want Esther TO iope you as
she iopes Joe.
1t wasn't love she wanted from

Esther; Lois hadn't been quite right.
Virginia wanted Esther's awareness of
her as new personality, per-
sonality commanding respect and 10y
atty. What had impelled Esther to
tell her how she felt about sitting at
the table with them?
At five o'clock she heard Joe's whis-
tie on the stairs. He brought her
bouquet of fragrant sweet peas, and
settled himself in chair beside her.
Later Esther came in with Virginia's
dinner tray. She said, "I'm sorry your
chops little burned. l don't know
how l could have been so careless"
She turned to Joe. I'm bringing your
dinner up. too. | thought you'd rather
eat up here with your wife"
Joe winked broadly. Downright
uncanny. Esther" he said. 81 was just
thinking the same thing"
When Esther had gone, Virginia
whispered. This chop is little
burned! The woman isn't perfect. after
allr' She felt ridiculously happy about
it. Don't you think you ought to 60
down and get your tray? Esther's done
so much running up and down for me-"
Joe said. '-She loves it. Ginny. Why,
she hasn't been so happy in months"
AND it was true, Virginia saw with
sudden clarity. She squirmed, little
uncomfortably. Esther had dedicated
her services to Virginia now, and the
shoe was on the other foot. 1t didn't
pinch on this foot; it felt. in fact, won
derful. She liked it. She loved it!
Esther. putting from her rapid climb
up the stairs, came in with Joe's tray.
She said, "I'm sorry it took me so
long but our neighbor Mrs. Moss, just
telephoned. She'd heard about your
accident, and told her you were fine,
otherwise she would have been over
here telling you how her Aunt Bessie
died after scratching herselfwithapin."
Virginia laughed heartily and Esther
left Joe put lump of sugar into his
coffee cup and stirred the liquid
thoughtfully. He said, do my eyes
and ears deceive me or have you two
girls buried the hatchet?"
1--WE been doing lot of thinking,
Joe. An awful lot"
Come to any conclusions?"
"Yes, have"
That fine Let's eat. I'm starved"
She knew all the things he had leIt
unsaid. That she had gone through a
private hell of her own, learning to live
all over again. When Esther came in
to clear the trays, Virginia said.
Esther, do you remember the lists
you were telling me about? Lists and
notations and records you were going
to leave behind your"
Esther nodded. She continued to
stack the trays, efficiently.
Virginia settled back against the
pillows. stretched her arms luxuriously
over her head. Tear them up. Esther"
she said dreamily. "Your new job is
running the entire Salentine nesage.
I'm going to stop being executive and
settle down to being very pampered
wife, wife who is going to have her
first child. And that's where you come
in mighty handy. Esther"
Esther looked up then. her eyes
translating Virginia's words. Esther
didn't say anything. She smiled at
Virginia, slow smile that puffed her
cheeks and reached her eyes. 1t was
very special smile. the kind she had
kept only for Mr.. Salentine - until
now.
