me. She loves me, but girls are often
like that"
And when he still said nothing, for
sheer lack of anything to say:
THAT is why l have talked like this
tonight, Doctor. She is like her
father. She wants a great deal out
of life. She needs a man she can
look up to, and some one who will
look after her. The ones she knows

Then she saw Chris's face, and her
voice trailed off She pulled her
wrap around her shoulders and pre-
pared to rise. Her eyes were tired

He was on his feet instantly and
around to where she sat. Then with
queer boyish awkwardness he
stopped and put an arm around her
shoulders.
mistake? What mistake? Why
not be honest? You know l care for
her. You know that I'd ask nothing
better than to care for her all her
life if she would have me. But"
Il suppose it's my pride" he said.
Il want to support my wife when l

that, but now"
Il can not wait few years." she
said quietly, and got up. 81 have

He hesitated, looking at her. 81

"Not with things like this. You
know that l care for her, and that,
God willing, I'd care for her to the
end of her life or mine. If / want to
do that in my own way"
"Why not do it in your own way?"
And then, and only then, he agreed.
Looking back, he was to see that
scene as a strange one, and his own
part in it not particularly noble. But
the whole situation was unreal. He
was slightly dazed. Even when she
swayed little and he held her to
steady her, he found his new status
difficult to comprehend.
II shall sleep tonight, Doctor"
"She may not take me. Remem-
Der that"
II think she will. You are big and
gentle. Big men are always gentle.
l think"
1t was still unreal to him when he
took her home that night, going slow
ly so as not to tire her. Now and
then he stopped on one excuse or
another to let her rest.
Look at the city lights. Like stars
in pool, aren't they?" Or: "I'm
sorry I'll have to tie my Shoe"
Not word of what was uppermost
in both their minds, until at last they
reached the door of her house. Then
she put out a thin hand and laid it
on his arm.
Goodnight, Chris. May l call you
Chris now? And God bless you"
He did not let her go at once, how
ever. They stood in the driveway
like two consiprators, while he urged
her to get another opinion, to do
something, anything.
"Why not try Grant? He's good
man."
In the end she agreed, but as he
went down the hill again he knew

that she expected nothing from an
other opinion, nor indeed from life it
self. Not any more. She was clear
ing her way, laying her course to the
end. He was so absorbed in her
problem that he was halfway home
before he remembered Beverly and
his promise.
