l think the Lord will forgive me for maxim
my man sweater on His time
Never again had Sally fled from her house
Not even the night, three months later, when
part of neighbor's roof, soaring on the wind.
had shattered her kitchen window. But thew
knew she d never learned to sit and wait as
they waited. Oh, they knew! Else why, when
ever the sea and sky turned angry, did
Editha Edmonds come from the house at the
end of the road to sit with her?
Eric knew too. How could he help but
know, with Editha sitting there every time
he returned after a night of wildness?
He could have married Editha, Sallv
thought suddenly. She's prettier than am
and only year older. Perhaps he should
have married her Perhaps that's what the
other women are saying.
1T WAS no new thought For weeks now she
had been aware of Eric S attitude toward old
Matthew Edmonds' daughter. A kind of
tenderness in the way he spoke to her. A
gentleness. Editha was all Matt Edmonds
had. of course. since his wife died; but the
old man wouldn't live forever.
Sally put aside her sewing, went to the
front-room window and peered out, irving
to see up the road. It's not like Editha to be
so late, she thought. But the rain ran down
the glass in torrent. The road was dim in
the windy dark. Above the winds screaming,
the thunder of the waves was more ominous
than ever. Dear God, keep him from HARM"
she whispered. mo matter what he thinks
of me, keep him safe"
She finished his trousers and laid them
over the bed in the back room. Mixed eggs
and milk in bowl. and placed strips of bacon
in the cold frying pan on the oil stove.
Measured coffee into the pot These small
tasks kept her busy. but did not for an in
slant lessen her awareness of the winds
bowling. Presently it occurred to her, with
out sense of shock. that this was the worst
of all the storms she'd lived through.
Editha wasn't coming No one could walk
the road tonight
Sitting at the kitchen table. in the unsteady
light of kerosene lamp, she heard torn
section of roof Tapping and ripping sound
as it was snatched away by the wind Some
thing made of metal - refuse can, prob
ably - clattered against the back steps and
was gone The house shook. The table trem-
bled. The lamp on the table executed a
solemn little march, like childs toy wound
with key. She thought of what the sea
would be like out on the banks. where noun
famous waves would be toying in wild revelry
with the small fishing boats
I'm scared. she thought l can't help it.
SHE went to the bedroom and looked in the
mirror above the dressing table - the ma
hogany table which had once been part of a
cabin cruiser wrecked on the beach. Her face
was white. her eyes circled. Nothing could be
done to erase those indelible imprints of fear
They would be there for all to see, long after
the storm had passed
In the front room she sat down to wait,

The storm tore at her home.
But she could not let Eric
know she had been afraid .

A Short Short Story
DY MIDNIGHT the storm was nearing its
ID peak of fury, and even above the thun-
derous roar of the rain Sally MacAndrews
could hear the sea exploding on the pier
hundred yards from the house.
It terrified her always would! If live
seventy years more and get to be ninety. she
thought, I'll never be calm and brave like
the wives of other Storm Point fishermen.
She stopped the rafting of the front-room
window with a wedge of newspaper and
stepped back, biting her lip. A moment ago
the windows humping had startled her into
running from the kitchen to the front door,
She had even opened the door and called
into the wind, 'Editha, is that you2", for
getting that when her neighbor, Editha
Edmonds, came from her fathers house at
the end of the road, she never bothered to
knock any more but walked right in Even
when Eric was home Editha did that As if
she knew. in her heart, that Eric was glad to
welcome woman who would not annoy him
with small fears and imagiings.
It's easy for her, Sally thought. She was
brought up here on the Point She never had
to learn to be brave.
She kept her eyes from the kitchen clock
as she set the table for the meal Eric would
want when he came in "I1l be home Tuesday
dawn" he'd said, hungry as farm horse,
and tired enough to sleep the day through"
RIrr tho cfOr,,o uyoa,ld r,,oko , d;Hororco
The hands of the clock would crawl past the
hour as they always did, and her heart would
die inside her dozen times before he came
striding at last up the beach.
Now stop it, she told herself angrily. He's
always come back and always will! There's
sweepin' to do. And his pants to patch, where
he snagged them with the cod hook
- She hadn't known, when she married Eric
MacAndrews, that the sea would be everlast-
ingly scheming to take him from her, or that
a rising wind in the night - like this one,
moaning like hungry beast through the
huddled houses of the fishing colony would
fill her with dread. Eric may have warned
her, but she hadn't listened 1t had been
enough to know that he wanted her.
Only once. though, had she fled from the
terror of being alone with her dread. That

Evening star., 1946-10-20

How right that was! Storm Point women
were always waiting. and there were nights
when wife's heart suffocated with the fear
that when the men returned, her man would
not be among them. Sally had seen it happen
Only last month she'd seen the mute anguish
of Pete Hyatt's wife, Cynthia, when Pete's
partner came to her door with the news.
But that night at Mrs Whaley's she'd not
