The Innocent -Qmpo? tor
By Renee Shann s S e

«Good afternoon, Charlotte,”
said Miss Helen, “I'm very re
lieved to see you. Your Aunt
alice and I have been waiting
here for some time.”
Charlotte tossed off her hat
and coat, and flung them at Eliz
abeth, as she entered the room
with another cup and saucer.
«put those away’ for me, Eliza
beth, and put out my black dress,
will you? I've exactly a quarter
of-an-hour. Aunt Helen, Aunt
Alice—l'm 8o terribly sorry to
pe in this rush.”
«Charlotte, where’s Patience?”
demanded Miss Helen.
«pxcuse me one moment, Aunt
Helen.” Charlotte tore open the
telegram, read it quickly, and
then loked up at her aunt with
an apologetic smile: “'m so sor
ry, Aunt Helen, what were you
saying?”
“] asked you where Patienca
was. I want to know why she
didn”t go as usual to the Acade
m}'." '.‘
Charlotte looked at them un
flinchingly. She hadnt’ Patience’s
scruples regarding speaking the
truth. Roger had wired her to
hold the fort as best she could
and, angry though she was with
both him and Patience, she’d do
the best she could under the
circumstances.
She dropped down on a chair
and poured herself some tea,
She said airily that they’d decid

ed—well, -it was she, of course
who'd remlly decided—that Lon-.
don was no place for the week
end. It was far too hot. She
smiled from one lady to thg
other anc¢l said she was sure theyi
would broth agree with her. 1
“And ' then some friends of
mine ‘wvho've got a houseboat]
betweezri Oxford and Henley
rang Imie up and asked me to
take Pz tience down. I thought it
was a, wonderful idea for us to
go. They're very charming peo- |
ple, Aunt Helen. Youwd like
them, and approve of them, I
feel sure.”
k 2 - -
“That’ is something of which
you couldn’t pessibly be a judge,
Charlotte. And if you went
down to this houseboat-—may I
ask why Patience didn’t retugn
this morning to go to her dress
rnaking classes as .usval?”
Charlofte. smiled disarmingly.
“I'm afraid that was ehffrely‘
my fault. You see, I wasn’t com
ing back till later in the day
And Patsy — she’s one of the
daughters—has a birthday. There
were a lot of people staying
there for it, and tonight
she’s having a party. Patience
and she got on so well together
I just insisted Patience should
stay on for it. She’s returning
first thing in the morning.”
Miss Helen rose to her feet.
- “I'm sorry, Charlotte, to have
1o say this, but after what has
happened I shall have to forbid
Patience to come and stay with
you here any more. Naturally if
you care to come and visit her
in the country that's another
matter. But is seems to me that
when she is with you she loses
all sense of duty.”
Charlotte felt a sudden anger
surge through her. For a long
while she’d been wishing Pa
tience would stand up to Aunt
Helen. And thinking how singu
larly spineless she was not to do
so. Well, if Patience wouldn't tell
her aunt what she thought of her
here at least was her own op=
portunity. |
“I 'resent your saying that,
Aunt Helen. I consider it most
unfair.” |
“I'm not interested in your
opinion, Charlotte. Alice, we’'ll
be leaving.” ‘l'l“\
But Charlotte barred their
way. |
“It doesn’t occur to you both
that Patience needs a little: fun
occasionally? That it's quite ab
surd the way you try and re
strict her? Gdod heavens, she
might be living in the 1880’s!”
“I think you forget yourself,
Charlotte,” said Miss Helen in a
frozen voice,
~ “I don’t. I think you're a self
ish old woman, and you're try
ing to make Aunt Alice as bad.
I'm heartily sorry for Patience
for having to live with you. If
I could have my way I'd have
her here with me in London.
And I'd see she enjoyed herself,
' You know what’s going to hap
pen if you continue to keep her
under lock and key?”
“What, Charlotte?” asked Miss
Alice tremulously.
~ “Why, she’ll probably run off
with some man about whom you
'know nothing. It's only natural
one day she’s going to want to.
You'll bring about the one thing
you're so dreading may happen.
She’ll be just like Mother—”
Miss Helen’s shoulders were
very upright, her eyes cold as
steel.
“Please allow me to pass, Char
lotte.” |
~ Charlotte stood aside. |
e AN gt |
Miss Alice followed her sister
meekly from the flat. In silence
they walked to the lift. In silence
they went down in it and out
into the street. Miss Helen glanc
ed at her sister and found that
she was surreptitiously wiping
‘away a tear.
| “Really, Alice!”
“I'm sorry, Helen. But all this
is so upsetting.”
“Upsetting! Is that all you call
it? I asure you from the bottom
of my heart that I am very sor
ry “indeed that Charlotte ever
came back into our lives.”
Miss Alice looked at her un
happily. “Do you think we should
speak like that about her, Helen?
After all she too is dear Estelle’s
daughter every bit as much as
Patience. And besides—"
~ “Besides what?”’
. “I'm afraid fyou may not like
‘what-I'm going to say.”
“I don’t suppose I am. I sug
gest you refrain from saying it.”
' “TI don’t think I can, Helen.
You see I can’t help but fee] that
just possibly there may have
been ,something in what Char
lotte said.”
