I made ‘it clear to Roger that I
expected him to take hold and
do his part with his family.
Rob, noting Roger’s apparent
change of heart, said it was as un
nautral as a kitten with insomnia
and we could expect it to last
about as long as flavoring extract
in a sheep-shearing camp.
However, Roger became every
inch a wage-earner and surprised
us all. I believe he rather fancied
himself in this new role; certainly
he'd worn all of the others mighty
thin.
When the entire houseful gave
at the same time, the walls bil
lowed like an accordion. I con
cluded it was plumbing that saved
the day. Given enough inlets and
outlets, people can live together in
more or less civilized fashion, In
stéad of taking every other turn
in ‘the kitchen, Claudia and Mary
and I each took one in three; it(
was like going to a party twol
ni%xts in succession.
-J Day found us living a com
munity life of domesticity, con
tentment, and moderation. “It’s
funnyy” Mickey observed, “I've
always thought I'd get drunk when
today came. Seemed like the way
to celebrate. But now it’s here, I
don’'t want to. Going to church
seems more like the deal.” N
“I want to play Tschaikowsky’s
1812 Overture,” I said. “I want to
hear bells peal and music swell
and loud noises of rejoicing.”
(We'd had an airmail letter from
Bill dated four days before, and
there had been no subsequent
news of action in his sector; I had
reason to believe he was safe.)
“I feel like crying,” the usually
blithe Claudia surprised us.
‘Somehow, it isn’t like winning at
all. It’s like a new, terrible re
sponsibility we have to shoulder.”
“No one wins wars,” Robbie
joined in the discussion. “All you
win is the right to hit yourself
over the head instead of having to
let the other guy do it. For hit
over the head is what you surely
get. Taxes are going to get tire
some.”

“Let’s go to church,” Mary pro
posed. “Couldn’t we get someone:
in, just this once, to stay with all
the children?”

OPEN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY EVENINGS UNTIL 9 P. M.
“T'll stay,” Nancy offered, over
’hearing the conversation.
“Thanks,” Roger said, “but I
!don’t' want to®go to church. I'll
! tell you what I think*would be the
ticket. Mary and I could take Rob
‘and Lee to the Club to dinner—
‘there’ll be doing up there—and
then I'll stay with the children
while the rest of you go to church.”
“And I'll keep you company,”
Rob said. “With a cribbage board.
Don't want you to leave town with
quite so much of my money. And
what’s more, I'll break’ out with
the last of the Highland Nectar
for all of you when you get home.”
Not in the spirit of hilarity near
ly as much as of rendering unto
Caesar, we went to the Field to
dinner. “The convertible?” Roger
asked as we stood ready to go.
“QOkay, if it means that much to
you,” Rob agreed. “But I'll drive.”
We found at the Club that the
recent rain had, as always, lefi a
box. “Look,” Roger said, ‘“don’t
make everybody walk through the
mud. Drop the girls off at the en
trance and I'll park the car. My
boots are used to this gumbo.”
Rob must have had a new shine
or else he was caught in the Spirit
of the Day, for he slid out from
behind the wheel and left the car
for Roger to park.
We ate dinner hurriedly, our
minds on going to church, and it
was still bright daylight when we
left the Club. Roger ran ahead to
I®ing the car around.
He reappeared chauffeuring a
lopsided jalopy.
Rob groaned as he saw what
shape his car was in. “Fifty feet
to go and you bust the darn thing
wide open!”
& * #
Roger’s usually swarthy face
was glfieenish; he looked like a sea
sick Mexican. “I didn’t do it,” he
gtx’?ostulated. “That’s how I found
it.
“Where had you parked it?”
Mary asked in her practical man
ner.
“Behind that row of cars,” Rog
er said, pointing to a space which
held cars parked parallel to each
other,
“You mean you parked it broad
side behind that row?”
Roger nodded, suspecting, no
doubt, a suggestion of criticism.
“I was at least thirty feet froml
them. Any goof ought to be aple
to back up and turn in that dis
tance.”
Rob, stricken into silence, walk
ed into the mud and around his
car surveying the damage. The
fender, door, and top on one side
were crushed.
Roger trotted along by Rob’s
side, half a pace behind. When he
had completed the circle, he mov
ed on again to the damaged side.
He stroked the raw adges of the
fender, ran his finger in the deep
crease in the smooth plane of the
car door, patted the bashed-in
bow of the top. “Must have been
a truck,” he said admiringly, “to
have done that amount of dam
age.”
\ Rob looked up sharply. He
seemed about to say something.
'TWen, obviously aware of the fu
tility of mere words to reach a
brain geared like Roger’s, he but
toned his lips severely. He mo
tioned us to climb in the car.
Rob drove, I noticed, hunched
over like a man who’d suffered a
mortal wound. Every few minptes
he glanced at the crumpled side of
his beloved roadster and then
slowly shook his head as though
it were impossible to believe it.
He said not a word. I admired
his restraint under the provoca
tion—if I'd wrecked his car, he'd
have been talking yet—but 1
wished he'd let off steam, for this
way I expected any minute he’d
explode into hamburger.
The measure of his despair was
that he went to church with Mick
ey and Claudia and Mary and me
instead of playing cribbage with
Roger.
