toward the beach. Her foot on the accele-
rator was nervous, impatient
1t was absurd what they asked for the
house then. 1--WE bought it for u.s." she
wrote him. Il had just enough for it,
And in New York the last time, he'd said:
Go out there and wait. Don't write if you
don't hear from me. Just keep on believing
in me. No matter what happens, wait.
One day I'll be there"
His face was lean calculating, deeply
troubled; his eyes probed every corner of the
bar they sat in. I'm in trouble darling
I'm in more trouble than l ever thought
there was in the world" Then, suddenly,
he had stopped writing and she knew it was
part of his telling her to come here to wait
and she knew, whatever it was, he had
known precisely what he was telling her
to do.
WHEN he left the last time, driving in the
cab to. LaGuardia, You'll do it, won't
you?" he demanded angrily, strangely
Eyes, darling" she whispered, YES yes
yes. But l want to help YOU
Il don't want your help! just want to
know you'll be out there, believing in me,
loving me, talking to no one, waiting" For
moment she thought his secret would
break through. He held her in his arms.
"Elinor," he said, Il need you 50 much"
But it was too painful living alone in the
cottage. She had found the fiat in town.
First she had come out every day, then every
week, then, as time, space and new worlds
came between them, her visits grew rarer.
Yet she knew here, one day, he would come
back to her.
The man Stanton had said he was back.
Was it trap? She drew up to the curb
again. her eyes on the mirror seeing that
no car was behind her. Did Stanton know
where they planned to meet? Her foot quiv-
cred when she depressed the clutch.
She headed down the incline to the shore
road, headlights drilling into the dark;
clean of the ocean. Now she thrust the car
forward with all the power under its hood.
She kept her eye in the rear-view mirror
too. She was not being followed.
HER heart sank when she saw the house,
dark, cold, alone, just as she had seen it so
many times. She flung open the door and
f1icked the light switch. He was not there
John" she called. John" She ran into
the kitchen. "Joh,s'' He was not in the
bedroom. His name died in her throat.
She ran her hand against her forehead,
knocking her hat to the floor; she stared at
it as though uncertain that it belonged to
her. There was no sign of him. She sat
on the edge of bed and covered her face
with her hands. She uttered his name.
At length she went into the living room
again The room was almost ugly in the
hard yellow light, yet, as she walked around
it wondering what next to do, she began to
feel his presence. The feeling would not be
denied. He's here, she said to herself, Gag

awaited thing

He kissed her. Her fingers searched the
contours of his head hungrily. through his
hair, as though she had to make sure this
way she was not dreaming. "Elinor," he
said, Its all over. Nothing will ever be
between us again."
She put her mouth on his "Sh-sh," she
said, tenderly, 'sh-sh."
They walked to the house. He could see
the light glowing. you've left the light
on" he exclaimed. his voice tensing
She looked at him. mo one will care,
darling" She took his arm The neighbors
know come here evenings now and then
and they also know I'm not very sociable."
The light hurt their eyes for moment.
He kissed her again. Let me look at you,
darling" she said. His hair had grown long
and his face seemed thinner, all vertical
lines, the bony structure plain beneath the
eyes and under the chin. you've shaved
off that mustache," she commented.
Il knew you'd be glad for that"
He seemed distracted now. He kept
looking at the light, at the windows Then
he remembered something. Your cars
