Natalie’s attempt to respond with

dear, what’s poker got to do with
it?" she managed finally.
“Oh, nothing," Alan answered

would be bad form, I believe, to
mention anything serious at a time
like this. It isn't done,”

agreed, “and it is only done in
smart English comedies. Still. I
dont know a better way to handle
the situation, do you? There’s no
sense in being tragic about it, Is
there? You’ve had enough of me,
and I’ve had enough of you,”
He broke off sharply aware sud
denly that he had spoken without
thought, merely rambled along to
be saying something because lie
couldn't keep still. This mocking
attitude had betrayed hirri, and he
wanted terribly to tell Natalie that
he hadn't meant what he said.

suffleiently to conceal her true feel

now: a bit frozenly, but none the
less lightly.
“I think we suggested might try being nat

we can’t achieve smart comedy, and
we don't appear to kaow how

Alan had walked over near the
door. "All right, he sa.d;

Alan put a hand on the doorknob
"And I'd tell you how to hold a

truth; we aren’t sensible. But it's

the ache that filled his hpart at

But Natalie couldn’t stand any
