Another month went by. The
winter was past and the first
fresh green was showing in the
hedgerows. “In the spring—"' said
Paul blithely. “Oh, Patience, Pa
tience, if you knew how I feel
about you!”
Patience knew. She felt the
same way about him. Only she'd
not told him so. She was far too
shy to disclose her emotions.
- They were meeting quite of
ten. Always they traveled down
from London together. And one
evening last week he'd got out at
her station. They'd passed
through the barrier as two stran
gers, to met again in a quiet
country lane some little distance
away. They’'d lingered her for a
brief while and then Patience
had speeded home on her bicy
cle, praying that her aunts
wouldn’t notice she was later
than usual in returning. |
It was the next time she came
back from her day at the acade
my that she walked into the sit
ting room and realized instantly
that something had happened.
lHer aunts were obviously wait
-ling for her. The expression on
their faces turned her heart to
water. They looked shocked and
horrified and deeply hurt. Aunt
fHelen was the spokeswoman.
' “] understand, Patience, that
!you have been meeting a young
{man these last few weeks about
whom you have told your aunt
Alice and me nothing.”
Patience felt hot color rush to
her cheeks. Her knees shook,
I “What have you got to say for
{ yourself?” said her aunt severe
| ly. |
i Patience made a little helpless
| gesture. |
| “I—l don’t know.” |
“You were seen two evenings}
ago in a lane—" |
“It was all—well, what I mean
to say is, Paul’s terribly nice.”
- * ¥
Her aunt’s eyes were nard and‘
angry. “I'm not interested inl
whether you consider him nice.
You know, Patience, how vc&“’y‘
strongly your Aunt Alice and I
feel about that sort of thing. That
you should have formed a
friendship with a young man—
someone we don’'t even know—"
“I’'d like you to know = him,
lAunt Helen. I'd lie you both to
know him. If you'd only allow
me to bring him here so that you
can meet him—"
“And where, pray did you
meet him?” 3
| Patience swallowed hard,
“In- the train.”
.-Miss Helen gasped. 5
““Yott mean to stand there and
tell me cooly you—you ‘picked
him up’ is the phrase I believe
used in these days—in the train!”
Miss Helen was really shocked.
“I forbid you ever to see or speak
to this young man again,” she
concluded severely. *
Patience looked at her aunt,
her eyes full of pleading.
“Aunt Helen, please—"
“I want no argument, Patience.
I insist on your giving me your
word that in future you will have
nothing more to do with him. and
I know I can trust your word.
Now—l want that promise from
you and then the matter will be
closed. It will not be mentioned
again by any of us”
Just for a moment Patience
saw red. Hot temper surged with
in-her. Overwhelmed her. A host
of bitter words rose to her lips.
And then her resentment died
away. She remembered how good
both her aunts had been to her.
How they’d stinted themselves in |
order to educate her; to feed and
cloth her. How they were now}
going without things in order to
pay her fees at the dressmaking‘
academy.
“I'm waiting for your promise,
Patience,” said her Aunt Helen.
® ¢ %
Patience knew if she once
gave it she’d have to keep it.
Her aunt said she knew she
could trust her word. Only—how
was she going to face a world in
which there was no Paul?
“Patience dear”, interposed her
Aunt Alice gently, “I think you
should understand that it is for
your own good your Aunt Helen
is asking you to make this prom- 1
ise.”
Patience swung round to her.
“But why? Aunt Alice, can’t
you see that it is asking to much
of me? There’s no harm in my
seeing him. In our being frjends.
He—l—oh Aunt Alice, I thought
perhaps you might understand!”
. Miss Alice felt her hands trem
bling in her lap. Heaven forgive
her, she did understand. But it
mustn’t be. The child was too
young. She needed protecting
against herself. Later on it would
be a different matter. When she
was old enough to know her own
mind . . . when some nice young
man to whom she was properly
introduced came along. . . .
“Well, Patience?” sald Miss
Helen.
Patience said miserably: “Very
well, Aunt Helen, if you ingist I
give you my promise.” and then
she turned and stumpled blindly
from the room. |
.She went out through the front J
door and across the neatly kept '
lawn, climbed a little stile, and |
set off across the meadows. It
was growing chilly and the light
was failing. She shivered, draw
ing her coat more closely around
her. And now tears were raining
|down her cheeks. They wouldn'tl
stop. She just walked along cry
ing bitterly, wondering how she’s ‘
face the future; wondering if it
would always hurt so terribly;
wondering if she’d been wrong
not to stand up to her Aunt‘i
Helen. : G st
