CHAPTER TEN

YES. TOBY was smiling. II was
q pathetic sort Of little smile. but
1t was a smile. Nothing terrible had
happened to Mummie or Dad, or
any Of the other unnamed things
shed thought in that dreadful mo-
ment.
Halle suddenly realized that she
was standing In her slip and stock
inged feet. grasping Toby's arm.
She snatched at one Of the batik
scarfs that was always to be found
amid the litter Of books and paints
and oddments In Sues studio and
mumbled excuses and said, sud-
denly remembering. what Is 1t,
Toby?"
Someone to give the bride
away"
But, Toby, not your"
Toby said, Come In. Doctor!"
DR.. Singleton put his head
around the door and Halle, with q
little cry, few to him, hugging him
until he cried for help.
"Oh. Daddy! Daddy! This Is the
omen Of good luck I needed so bad
ly. Did Mummie. p"
"Your mother sailed for Ber-
muda this morning. came down to
put her on the boat. And this young
man :" He looked over her
shoulder to where Toby was stand
ing, happened to come along,
since Louise motored down with
US :"
Louise! Louise Is here?" Halle
cried. feeling that her cup Of hap
piness was trimming over. "Oh,
Daddy, this is going to be the most
wonderful wedding ever. Only now
it's too late to have Louise and
Toby stand up with us. but 1t won't
matter"
Toby's mouth was a straight, un-
smiling line when she looked at 1t,
and then at the clock. "Sue, take
care Of everybody. I may be able
ito receive In a slip. but I can't get
married in It."
She was married, not in the
Creamy satin and tulle which was
Ito lie in its box for six years, but in
q frock Of beige with a cluster Of
brown orchids at her shoulder. She
had chosen her own ring, a simple
band Of gold. And when Eric
slipped It proudly over her finger,
she thought no wedding could have
meant more to her than that one
did.
There was Eric, tall and proud
and handsome at her side, And a
step behind them, her dear Daddy,
loving her, standing by her, the
weight Of his love already bowling
his shoulders.
DR.. Singleton would not Join
them for the wedding breakfast; he
had to get back to his work in
Worburn, but he took them aside
for a moment. If there's anything

Later, Eric said. That was nice

that there always L. someone tr

"We're not ever going to fall

sweet apartment-even II we cant
afford it-and it's going to be oul
home, the walls, our fortress
against the attacks Of the world
on our happiness"
Fortresses they may have been
but they enclosed very small rooms
with q view that overlooked q court
that separated their apartment
from the back Of the apartment on
the next street. BY craning her
neck, Halle could see q patch OF
sky that she calculated to be ten
feet square.
But the rooms were nice. There
was living room with a wide, sin
gle lead-paned window, q bedroom
with Just room enough for their
two beds and q highboy, q tiny
foyer and q timer kitchen. II was
much smaller, and much more ex-
pensive-S150 q month-than Hal
lie would have wished for. But Eric
told her that "a good address" was
very important to him professional
ly, and . central location was
equally important. since they had
no car and taxis were expensive.
Halle believed anything Eric
told her, and she knew she could
manage easily on the remaining
$3.50, for all that the furniture In
stallments had to come out Of 1t.
Well, no matter, she had nothing
to do through the days and nights
but be q home maker and Eric's
wife. 4
1t was like playing house to
make the apartment into q home.
With Sues help, she chose daring
color schemes and with Toby's help
at paint and brush, they turned the
living room walls into q deep tur-
quoise and hung heavy apple green
satin curtains at the one big win
dow so that 1t looked almost twice
as large. Fortunately. the living
room could hold but little furniture.
A crimson sofa for one wall, a Sc
ries Of book-shelves for another, an
occasional chair or two, and q wide
old desk, which they picked up at
an auction, filled the room.
Toby sent them q hunting print,
q very good one, which they hung
over the sofa. Sue was to do a por-
trait Of Halle as her gift. In the
meantime, she arrived one night
with a wash-basket full Of pots,
pans, glasses and a cocktail shak-
er. 1.-THE practical things" she said.
"Or haven't you two thought Of
practical things?"
Halle said, II do-sometimes.

and ferryboat rides, and go to the
movies. and eat at funny little res
