 Outside the terrace was vacant, Thayer called, Brock - Brock" but received no answer. She walked slowly around the corner of the house, then stopped short,
 Across the lawn she saw Brock and his mother. They were talking, the man leaning heavily on his crutches, the woman holding to his arm.
 All the eager welcoming died in Thayer. An odd chill roughened her skin.
 Mrs. Kittridge smiled as the girl approached. Isn't 1t 0 perfect morn- ing, ThayerP'

 Thayer groped for words. T just meant ."
 Mrs. Kittridge laughed, but her eyes sent sharp warning. She in- terrupted, T told Brock the silly thing I dic last night"
 The mans voice broke in, fiat, unemotional. Yes, Nom said she forgot her key and you were good enough to come downstairs and let her in." To Thayer's ears the emphasis was unmistakable.

 He cut in sharply. For Gods sake let's not drag on with this. Or bring my mother into it."
 Anger swept Thayer, How can l leave her out Of it2 Ever since you've come back she's tried, eon- Seiously or uneonscuiously to come between us, And she seems to be succeeding pretty we'll"
 His look held seorn. Cant we accept the blame for our own miS. takes, not lay 1t on someone elScp"

 Just what do you mean by that7"
 Suddenly her anger died, Her hands came out In entreaty. Brock, does last night mean nothing to you7"
 He stared at her with the cold eyes of stranger, and she was too blind with hurt to see how his fingers were elenched on the crutch, or the culver Of an over. tensed muscle in his jaw. "Yes. Plenty I'd rather forget. How about you2"
