The door of the shop was open and Martin
was inside, seated at desk at the back be-
hind piles of books and papers. He looked
up as she stood in the doorway.
Her eyes swept him with lightning glance,
found him hardly changed at all - thinner,
little gray. the man whom she had secretly
loved without knowing it thirty years ago.
Elizabeth Fennerr' He came to meet her,
and took her hand.
'Is it really you?" he asked. After all
these years since we've seen each other"
She looked up at him nervously, seized
with panic at what she had done. But his
handclasp was firm and warm, and his eyes
were the eyes she had remembered. Il had to
come, Martin" she stammered, Ito see if
you we're all right after the raid. In times of
danger, you know - one thinks of old

He looked pleased. why, that was kind,

She smiled. Eyes, still there You'd see
everything looking pretty much the same
This is fine - to have a real talk with you.
It's time closed up anyhow" He drew the
blind, locked up the little shop.
She stood watching him in the somber dim
ness of the book-lined room. Then he opened
the door at the back and they went into the
living room. She knew at glance that he was

He was moving about, Strengthening things

She sensed an unaccustomed gaiety in his
voice and movements. The past was drawing
them together, like the links of chain sud-
denly growing taut.

''I'm glad was in time" she said, looking
full into his clear brown eyes.

we ever lose touch, Elizabeth"
1T was my fault" she answered. MY
fault - was never quite sure of my ground
in friendship
Eyes, that's true. In the old days you were
always strangely remote. One wanted to get
near to you, but somehow never could"
He pulled another chair into the window
beside hers and they sat and talked - not
of the time between, but of all the earlier
days; of people they had known of his family
and hers - her brother who had been killed
in the last war, and sister Grace who had
married and died out in India. Friendly
ghosts came crowding back. The echo OF old
laughter filled the room

town, Miss Fenner made discov-
cry. Coming back from the shelter where she
and her maid Janet had taken refuge, she
found that bomb had fallen near her little
house, No 10 Elm Row. The windows were
broken, the window-boxes scattered, the door
step uprooted, and from underneath it was
blown a letter "a letter from the past.
Pushed through the letter box thirty years
ago, it had slipped between the stone step
and the foorboard of the hall, and lain there
ever since.
The envelope was yellow and covered with
dust. Miss Fenner turned it over curiously.
In a handwriting that she vaguely remem-
bered, she read her own name and address:
Miss Fenner, No. 10 Elm Row." She tore
it open.
It was a love letter, the first she had ever
received Sitting there among the rubble,
she started to read. The late afternoon sun
shine fell on her intent face, into which the
words she was reading were calling back a
strange youthfulness.
Last night. coming home from the dance,
/ tried to tell you how much loved you.
But somehow couldn't find words. You have
never given me any sign that you cared tor
me. You seemed so distant in your loveliness,
so unaware of what / wanted to say. The
sound of your voice - your eyes of china
blue - am filled with the thought of you.
But when am with you don't know how
to say it, to ask you to marry me. I've screwed
up my courage to write it. so if you can't
return my love you needn't even answer this
letter. I'll know what your silence means.
And whatever happens l shall always love
you u"
There was more - burning words of youth
full love. above the signature Martin Reed"
MARTIN REED! The picture of him flashed
back to her. How well she remembered him!
Tall. brown-eyed, rather serious In her shy
vot,nq-qirl fashion she had admired and
looked up to him, but never dreamed that he
loved her. There had been picnics on the
river, dances, many tea hour in the walled
garden of 10 Elm Row =
The day must have come when he had
looked for an answer to this letter, for sign
never given: ''Ill know what your silence
MEANS" A great pang of regret clutched
Miss Fenner's heart.
It was years since she had seen Martin =
twenty, perhaps. She only knew that his
name was over small bookshop on the other
side of town near the cathedral. He had
always loved books. She folded the letter
slowly, got up and went inside

the small house was very little harmed. Janet
was sweeping and tidying up. Her chatter
penetrated only the surface of Miss Fenner's
consciousness: 1--WE ought to be ever so
thankful, Miss, that it wasn't worse, " she was
saying as she knet with dustpan.
Eyes, Janet, we certainly ought" Herself.
Miss Fenner found it hard to be thankful.
for that bomb had shattered the innermost
recesses of her life, not just her front door.
She was filled with sense of bitter frustra-
ton and loss.
They finished putting things in order. and
Janet laid Miss Fenner's solitary dinner in
the dining room. The windows opened onto
a garden, where roses and honeysuckle
sprawled over the wall - an assault of color
and perfume in the golden light of sunset.
Miss Fenner usually watched the garden
with great content as she sat at dinner but
tonight she didn't see it. For her all present
satisfaction had suddenly faded out. She
was nearly fifty now. Since the last of her
people had died ten years ago she had lived
alone, growing her roses, satisfied with the
activities of her small social round Empty,
empty, lonely and trivial. She ate her
chicken and salad like someone in dream.
All these years she might have been happy
wife - Martins wife. =.
In THE mirror opposite her chair she looked
at herself Yes, she had been pretty. But she
had always drawn back from admiration,
unsure of herself, lacking confidence in her
power to inspire love. Now her hair was more
gray than gold but it curled with its old rip
pie; her cheeks were little hollow, but her
eyes were still china-blue.
She finished her dinner and got up. Janet
came in to clear away. 81 expect you'll want
to 90 to bed early tonight, Miss" she said,
latter all the upset of the raid"
But Miss Fenner looked at her vaguely.
mo, Janet - I'm going out"
With light coat thrown over her thin
summer frock, she set off on her walk across
the town. The raid had been small one,
and had missed the old quarter that clus-
tered in the friendly shadow of the cathedral.
Things there looked much as they had for
the past five hundred years or so.
She hurried along in tremulous excitement.
A new self had come into being since she read
that letter But the old self was still able to
protest She must be mad, it told her. to be
doing what she was! Perhaps Martin wouldn't
even remember her. Perhaps he was married,
with grown-up children.
But the new self beat down the argument,
and she went on resolutely. No. no, he would
remember her, he would want to see her.
A love like that couldn't have died. The
letter gave her a triumphant new courage,

Makeup tricks learned on the
legitimate stage don't always do so
well in movies, especially if they
have to be used outdoors in the
sunny California fields and woods,
just brimful of nature in many
forms.
Charlie Arnt, playing an old man
in current film, used a Broadway
trick to simulate white hair, COM
bining zinc oxide with honey which
he combed on lavishly.
The location company was horri-
fed to see a swarm of bees from a
nelghboring ranch descend on him
and cover his head and face. From
under the swarm, Charlie gave di-
rections to have smoke pots brought
quickly, and he was saved from what
could have been serious accident.
Luckily, he keeps bees on his small
ranch and knew what to do, but the
Broadway makeup with its allur-
ing gloss is out.
