"There isn't much time to think
about it," Mr.. Wrinkle apologized.
"But you don't even sound inter-
ested," Mr.. Wescott complained.
Somehow" said Mr.. Wrinkle,
"I've come to leave that up to the
generals"
"Of course" said Mr.. Wescott
stiffly. eyes. OF course" He gath
cred the forces of his indignation
and scolded pettishly, "All can say
is that you aren't any more Of q
soldier than / thought you'd be-"
Too late, Mr.. Wrinkle realized that
he had offended his neighbor, that
Mr.. Wescott thought he meant to
squelch and ridieule him as an arm
chair strategist. That had not been
his intention at all. It was simply
that he and Mr.. Wescott had grown
apart, that they had become strang-
ers.
Domestically, the Wrinkles were as
happy as they ever had been. They
lived the few days he was home
like honeymoon taken up from
where it was dropped many years
before.
Amy seemed intent on making up
to Mr.. Wrinkle the period she had
been shrewish, and he decided to
enjoy this, no matter what might
happen after the war.
She sewed on several buttons for
him, and though her way wasn't ex-
actly the manner in which he had
learned to sew, he was delighted to
have her do it. After that first
morning, Mr.. Wrinkle managed to
stay in bed long enough for Amy,
by getting up very early, to bring
him his breakfast there.
The weather was fine and Mrs.
Wrinkle squandered her gasoline ra-
ton by going on picnic with him
every day into the woods. On these
trips even Penelope agreed to wag
her tail sluggishly at the soldier,
though she still wouldn't accept him
intellectually.
They spoke little of the war and
his portion of it. Not that they took
it for granted, or had become fatal
istic about it, but they wished to
forget it during the time they had
together. Only on the day of his
departure did the war come again
between them.
Once more he held her in his
arms. She wept, and he felt like
crying, too. Then, when they parted,
for a fleeing instant before they
spoke or moved again, he saw that
she looked at him defiantly, nearly
with antagonism. But it wasn't

"You see?" Jack asked. "He's

he may still need a little polishing

boarded a train.
Amy was at the station to meet
him. At first they just stared at
each other without being able to do
anything else. It was an awkward
moment. Then Amy cried, "Oh,
Wilbert, I didn't think would ever
see you again!"
They embraced. He felt clumsy
when he kissed her. It was almost
as strange coming back to her as
it was leaving her.
