unless something outside herself could be
found to rescue her.
Something, Mr.. Grieg thought, something
that would sustain her for only little time
longer, such small something might be
enough to mean the difference between good
life of satisfaction and bitter one for her.
Evening star., 1950-03-05

fortunately, were paid for by scholarship
She wanted to dance more than anything
in the world, and that the way was hard only
made the goal seem more worthwhile. But
the loneliness The feeling that anything could
happen withered and died, because nothing
happened. The city became Indifferent and
then hostile, as she found herself in solitude
that was somehow terrifying
HE loneliness grew and fattened with the
passing weeks. Her work itself was her only
defense But when she caught the cold, and
the cold kept her at home for days doing
nothing, then the loneliness sprang upon her.
1t devoured her at one gulp.
But you cannot do this thing!" Mr.. Grieg
said unhappily.
Il can't not do it, Emily said. 1--WE lost
five days of work already and five nights of
classes too. don't dare fall behind at the
school, or I'll lose my scholarship"
so you do little extra for while"
There are just so many hours in the day."
Emily said. Whats the use of my killing
myself in trying when know beforehand that
can't do any more?"
Its only that now you feel bad, you're
discouraged" MIR. Grieg argued. Somehow
it could be DONE"
Maybe l could have done it six months
ago." Emily said But I can't now, and
know can't. haven't got any try left"
1t was sad. Mr. Grieg thought, as he made
his way down to the trunk room. He under
stood very we'll that it was the loneliness that
had defeated her. Emily needed something
to turn to at such moment, he thought. No
matter how strong you are you must have
something outside yourself. She would be
sorry forever if she gave up now. Her life was
her dancing. She had told Mr. Grieg how she
stood on a corner in the rain, enthralled with
the thought that the shimmering lights re-
fected on the wet street were like ballet in
themselves. That was the way she had caught
cold. And yet she was determined to give up,
Evening star., 1950-03-05
A SHORT STORY

TT WAS having to stay home with her cold
l. that did it. On the fourth day Emily asked
MIR. Grieg, the janitor, to bring up her trunk
from the basement.
What do you want with your trunk?" Mr.
Grieg asked reasonably
I'm giving up" Emily said. "I'm turning
in my suit. I'm going home" She blew her
nose, to keep from crying.
Mr.. Grieg elevated his bushy white eye
brows and peered at Emily in startled way
There has been death in your family, may
be?" Mr. Grieg inquired.
'You could put it that way" Emily said
Just my courage, that's all.
But this cannot be-" MIR. Grieg said.
Look, you feel bad; it makes you unhappy
because you are an artist.
Mr.. Grieg was little man seemingly made
of large white mustache and pair of sus-
penders and broom. He regularly went out
of his way to be unpleasant to most of the
tenants but he was fond of Emily, for Mr..
Grieg was also an artist. He wrote poems.
Nobody had ever published them, but Emily
had read one and said that it had a wonderful
happiness 1t proved that Emily was very
talented, MIR. Grieg thought. He felt that
kinship existed between them.
EMILY had come to New York few months
before to study dancing, and Mr.. Grieg
doubted that she was day over seventeen
She was tall and slender, with warm chestnut
