abrupt stop only a few inches
from the picket fence. From an
upstairs window Alison saw
her alight, saw her attractive
figure in a green suit trimmed
with leopard and with her mink
coat owe her arm hurry up
the path to the porch. Alison
went and stood in the hall and
looked down the steps, thinking
as the closing door ratified be-
hing Teresa that Teresa's
charged nervous system was
contagious. The old house
seemed to feel it, too.
Teresa's clear, perceiving
eyes had both anger and fright
in them when she glanced up.
"Suzy's up here" Alison said.
"She's asleep. She's really all
right, Teresa"
But the heels of Teresa's
smart brown snakeskin shoes
clattered up the steps.
"Where is she? Take me to
her. You're not keeping any
thing from me, are your"
Alison took her to the large
room where Suzy lay in a large
four-poster bed, her face pale
but composed in feverless
sleep. Teresa stood over her,
trembling. 1t was the first time,
Alison thought, that Teresa had
ever looked at a person before
she looked at a room.
Teresa lifted her head.
II don't deserve this, what
you've done to me, bringing my
child to a place like this. Thank
God, she's all right. My poor,
darling baby"
"We merely brought her to
her fathers home, Teresa.
She'd have had bronchitis if
she'd stayed in Washington.
The doctor said that. She was
sick when we came but we
didn't know it." She was so
tired from lack of sleep that
heaviness of body had been re-
placed by lightness. She felt she
could have floated.

"But she's sick herself and
bewildered. What'll happen to

"That's for me to decide.
Where is she?"
AS Alison inclined her head
to the next room, Teresa went
out. A few minutes later she
heard footsteps pass outside
and down the steps. No voices.
