THE STORY: Patience Mond
goes to London three times a
week to attend dressmaking
school. It is the only freedom
allowed her by tihe two old
fashoned aunts who "have
brought her up and with whom
she lives in the country. On the
commuting train she meets Paul
Taylor, who lives in a neighbor-
Inf vlilue and who finds him
self attracted to the prim young
girl. They date secretly, Patience
knowing her aunts would dis
approve. Paul tells her he loves
her, Patience’s dream of happi
ness is shattered when the aunt's
discover her perfidy force her to
promise not to see Paul again.
VII
She went back into the house
when at last her tears had stop
ped and upstairs to her own
room. She sat down at the little
writing table in the window and
found note paper and envelopes.
It was the first love letter she'd
ever written. She supposed it
would almost certainly be the
last.
She . sat nibbling the end of
her pen. She made several false
starts and then in the end the
letter she wrote came quite eas- |
ily—more easily in fact for then ‘
she'd have been shy—as if she’'d |
been talking to him. She toldl
him that her aunts had found
ot about them. That her Aunt{
Helen had forbidden her to see
him or speak to him again.
“Please, Paul darling, don’t try
te make me break the promise 1
had to give her. Because it won’t
make any difference. Nothing |
you can say would make me go |
back on it; Nothing you can do. |
So this is the end. Except to
thank you for all the happiness
you've given me, Knowing you
have been the loveliest thing that
has ever happened to me . . )"
She read the letter through
and then put in in an * envelope
and sealed it. She posted il the
neXt morning. It was a Saturday. |
ghdtémoon he'd be waiting
“her train to come into Strot
ford station hoping that possibly
she'd be on it.
She was helping Aunt Alice
with the church brasses when
the clock struck three, the time
she would have been argiving. A
itear . fell onto the heavy vase.
Ans,.t:::: another.
ik ce dear, try not to take
it too much so heart.”

voice was all choked up.
She polished vigorously away
at the vase to hide her unhappi
ness.

The weekend routine went as
usual. Flowers for the church.
The morning service. Patience
and her aunts were regular
church-goers. Chatter with the
various people they knew as
they came out. No one at all ex
eiting. No one young and gay.
A dull life for a girl 91’ 20,
thought Miss Alice, as " they
walked home to the roast beef
that ‘was awaiting them. And
then cheered herself by remem
bering that after all the dear
child went three times a week
to London.
Patience was alimost dreading
the next morning. It came and
she thought: “This evening Tlll
see him.” Only she must take no
notice of him. She'd given At
Helen her promise. She'd writ
ten to him and told him what to
expect.
] She couldn’t concentrate on
ter work ‘at the academy. The
| ¢ Itting-out class which fisually
irterested her so much failed to
hold her attention. Madame Gi
rard, who was taking it, reproved
her sharply.
At last it was over. Every
'thing put away. The girls
crowding into the cloakroom.,
Patience looked at herself in the
mirror and wondered if she were
really the same girl who'd look
ed in this same mirror last Fri
day. Then she’d been so happy.
In so short a while she'd been
going to see him. Well, in so
‘short a while now possibly she’'d
‘ see him. Only she didn’t want to.
It would be far easier if he were
‘not there on the train. If he'd
decided to travel down on an
other one,
|« * »
But he was waiting at the bar
rier., Her heart shook at sight of
him and her knees turned to
jelly. He strode towards her and
took her arm in a firm grip and
said angrily: “What is all this
nonsense? That ridiculous letter
1 received from you this morn
ifix——" i %
“It’s not nonsense, Paul. 1
mennt every. word of it.” ,
“I don’t believe it.” e
It was impossible to argue

with people hurrying and scur

rying all around them. They
found seats in a.crowded car
riage, and as soon as the train
started went out into the corri
dor. Here at least they were
more or less alone. Paul looked
down at her and now the anger
was fading from his eyes.
“Patience darling, they can’t
do this thing to you.”
Patience swallowed hard. Her
hands gripped the brass rail run
ning along the window.
- “The trouble is they can.”
He looked at her for a long
moment. “You're not really going
to let them get away with it?”
“How can I help it?” -
“Stand up to them. Tell them
tec go to blazes—" ‘
“Oh, Paul, Paul, if you knew
them you’d understand that what
you're suggesting is quite im
possible.”
“l understand one thing,” he
flung at her bitterly; “I don’t
matter to you the way you mat
ter to me.” ¥t
She wrung her hands.
“Paul that’s so untrue. You
matter to me more than anyon«
‘else in the world. I never dream-~
ed I could feel this way about
anybody. I—" she broke o in
confusion. It was the first time
she'd said anything like inis to
him. ' ‘
“That’s so easy to say.“
“I mean it.”
“Then prove it by telling your
Aunt Helen when you get home
that yqu're breaking that promise
‘you gave her. Breaking ,it be
cause she’d no right to insist on
your making it. Tell her you're
engaged to me and you want to
marry me.”
