81 had a key made from yours" She
threw it, and it tinkled at Miss Croy's
feet. Il shan't need it now he's go
ing. He's going to Palestine! Can't
you leave us be?"
Automatically Miss Croy stopped,
picked up the key, and left them. She
felt outraged. She felt that the Mai
son Masque had been outraged. And
she felt suddenly too tired to do any
thing about it. There had been Bit
ter passion in the girls voice that was
frightening; she had never been able
to deal with emotion. So she stood
there irresolute, shut out, at loss;
and at that moment the sirens walled
over London in warning of a raid.
Il must get home" thought Miss
Croy.
The sky was fun of searchlights.
She halted a moment on the pave
ment. watching, and instinctively be-
gan to design an evening cloak
rather exaggerated, first-night affair
of black cloth slashed with silver.
Then she smiled wryly; not cloaks; but
trousers. were now the midnight mode.
Something small and swift slipped
out of the darkness and rubbed against
her foot. 1t was kitten, thin gray
alley-kitten, as light, when she picked
it up as a dead leaf. Miss Croy rather
liked cats, admiring their elegance and
she stroked the crea-
ture gently from ears to tail, and felt
its bones under her fingers. The kit
ten purred loudly. 1t sounded rather
like a Spitfire. 'That would be good
name for you," said Miss Croy rashly;
for she did not yet know that to give
an animal a name is the first step to-
wards adopting it. In fact, she in
tended to put Spitfire down at once,
but at that moment the larger and
more solid shape Of a Warden diverted
her attention.
please get inside at once" said the
sharply. Don't you know
there's raid on?"
Miss Croy stiffened. She was used
10 giving, not taking orders.
"Thank you" she said. 81 do know,
And am just going to take a taxi
home"
where to?"
Hampstead"
''You can't start for Hampstead now.
Please go to the shelter st the end
Of the street"
The giving of orders had at least
taught Miss Croy a respect for author
ity, and she at once moved in the
required direction. But the Warden
stopped her again.
Cant take the cat, Madam. No
animals allowed in public shelters"
1t was one order too many. Miss
Croy had originally had every inten-
