They're just that way. Wolves!"
Marcia allowed herself to be
persuaded.
And finally the cars rolled down
the Cosgrave drive to the Albany
Post road as dawn was pointing
its fingers over the Hudson. Love-
ly told Marcia and Kar they were
grand sports, tops. and she loved
them. She Rugged Roger violent
ly, took off the trailing velvet
negligee and dropped into bed and
Immediately to sleep.
But Roger lay staring at the
ceiling.
Emily would arrive tomorrow.
Emily with her quiet ways and
sweet considerateness. Emily who
was so restful. Emily who always
said quietly: IF you want it,
dear-anything you want" Self
effacing, gentle Emily.
He looked at Lovely, sleeping
soundly. She was beautiful And
so young as she slept He could
wait. He could wait until some of
the fierce young energy wore out.
She was worth it.
In the morning he followed the
maid with the breakfast tray into
his mothers room.
Marcia, it was sweet of you to
let that wild mob come in here
and feed" he said sitting on the
edge Of her bed.
Marcia smiled. She was pretty
even in the morning.
Il didn't mind a bit, Roger"
she said. II thought they were
rather fun. Katie's a sweet little
thing"
Eyes" Roger was thoughtful.
Lovely was still sleeping ike a
tired baby.
Marcia handed him a piece of
toast with orange marmalade on
it. Roger ate it slowly. Merry,
Marcia's Bedlington, looked visit
fully from one to the other until
Marcia gave her a piece of toast.
Shock From Emily
FINALLY Roger said the thing
l. that had been on his mind:
Its going to be tough for
Emily, isn't it?"
Terribly" Marcia turned away
and Roger knew her eyes had
misted. She had learned to think
of Emily as her own daughter.
"You don't think it could have
been an accident?" Marcia asked
~ flor n 1nrn ci1onco
How could it?" Roger asked.
1--we driven up there so often.
The street ends and you have to
drive right across little park to
reach the cliff. No one could make
a mistake"
But if their brakes" Marcia's
voice trailed into silence.
IF he'5 just lifted his foot and
there'd been no brakes the car
would have stopped"
II know" Ghosts walked in
Marcia'S pretty voice. "And their
hands clasped like that. Poor
Emily. can't think why they'd
do it"
Tough for her." Roger said
thoughtfully as he stroked Mer-
rvs soft fur.
eve must be kind to her. I
wonder - Lovely - Marcia
started but Rogers words came
quickly.
She'll be all right. She hasn't
a. jealous or mean thought in her
head"
81 know. Roger, but you'll have
to be careful. Women never keep
their love apart from the rest of
life. You'll never be just a man
at work or at play to Lovely.
You'll always be her husband
her man. You see know" She
smiled at him. I'm a woman.
Roger"
But it wasn't as hard to meet
Emily as Roger had thought it
would be. She wasn't changed in
the least, unless it was that suf-
fering seemed to hang like a very
thin veil over her.
Roger brought her up from the
station.
Lovely had been TO the kennels.
Winthrope Ramsey had been
showing her which dogs might
make something at Madison
Square Garden in February and
why Perfect coat. Excellent jaws.
Swell stance. Fine dark eyes. And
Lovely was fascinated.
Il like to watch him with the
dogs" she said. HE has that fas-
cinating, stepped in iniquity. look;
world battered, If you see what I
mean, He's probably been in ev-
cry wicked spot in the world and
taken something of each one away
with him"
Il wouldn't be surprised" was
Rogers comment for he knew
