CHAPTER THIRTY-sEvEN

Matthew went over and took her
in his arms. Darling. You're tired
and upset. Why don't you go to bed
for the rest of the day? I'll be home
early"
"I'm not tired" she denied in a
tight little voice, choked and husky.
"l'm just afraid"
"Of WHAT" he asked, smoothing
her hair back from her face, kiss
ing her drenched eyelids.
Judith said, holding him close,
"We've this and it's wonderful. But
it's all we have, Matthew, and it
frightens me. Because if we can't
be friends too, darling, / won't
want to go on. No matter how much
! love you"
He picked her up, carried her
into their room, put her down on
the bed and went out to consult
Olga. When he came back he sat
down beside her, as she lay there
supine, not stirring, the tears run
ming down her cheeks, and took her
wrist in his hand.
She said, half laughing, half
crying, "Oh, no, Matthew; that's
too silly"
He said, frowning, "You might
have picked up "a" But no, Ju-
dith's pulse, although a little ac-
tolerated, was by no means alarm
ing. Her husband diagnosed her
condition as, Fatigue. Flying
here, flying there, worrying about
your mother, getting all sorts Of
fool notions"
Matthew rose and then bent to
kiss her. What you need is a little
fun. I'll get tickets for something
for tomorrow night, and We'll cele-
brate by dining out. Try to sleep
a little and remember" he
added, II love you"
When the door had closed, Judith
lay there looking at it. Matthew
loved her and she loved him. That
should be the paramount issue.
Anything else was shadow, this
was substance, was it not?
She thought. IL Deen trouDled
year, so many adjustments to make
- perhaps I'm oversensitive or
something. I never used to be.
There must be some way -.
And then Judith thought Of
time long ago, when she had first
realized that she loved Matthew;
hopelessly, in those days, for Irene
was his wife; when she had told
herself, don't even like him yet I
love him terribly.
She loved him now, no less; but
liked him, no more.
= The new house over the Connect
cut line was no longer new. Judith
and Matthew had owned it for
little more than a year when in the
glowing autumn Mary drove up
with Judith for the weekend.
Matthew would join them when
he could. A dozen people were ex-
pected on Sunday. Judith said, as
they drove along the parkway, I'm
