CHAPTER VII
That news brought her up with
a shock. “Jimmy’s quit, Mike?”
“Why do you think I’m here?
Mr. Perkin wants me to to talk
some sense into him.”
“But . . .”
“But why should I?” demand
ed Mike. “He brought all this up
on himself. Let him go to the
dogs.”
“But you’re supposed to be his
friend.”
“What wonderful friends I
have,” he mimicked her words of
a moment before. “You go in and
talk to him if you want. Me, I’m
through.”
He went charging out of the
office as she went charging into
Mr. Perkin’s sanctum sanctorum.

er chair beside the big desk, look
ed up whimsicall. “Holy cow,” he
drawled, “you sure believe in ap
plying the pressure, Mr. Perkin.”
The executive’s deep voice
boomed. “I have your interests
at heart, Jimmy. Miss Alliston,
you arrive at a fortuitous mo
ment. Jimmy, here, is thinking
of resigning his position.”
“Because of me, Jimmy?”
He got up. laughing. “Don’t kid
yourself, cherub. I never left a
job yet because of a woman.
Nope, this is something deeper.
1 You know what? As of yesterday
I am secretary to Dronda Moore!”
“I see.” She bit her lips. “Then
talking to you would be rather
pointless.”
“As pointless, Sally, as it was
trying to talk to you yesterday.”
All this was clearly above Mr.
Perkin's head, and he harumph
ed to indicate that he did not
approve of conversation over his
1 head. “Come, Jimmy, at least re
consider for a few days.”
“Nothing to reconsider. You
know, I may even marry that
Dronda Moore.”
He bowed first to the one, then
to the other, laughed his gayest
laugh and went swinging out the
door.
Mr. Perkin swung round in the
big office chair and tapped his
lingers restlessly on the arm.
There was undisguised regret in
his voice when he finally swung
back to look at her.
"He is making a mistake, you
know. Jimmy belongs to aviation.
He belongs to it as I belong to it,
and you, Miss Alliston.”
“I came here to tell you ihat I
am resigning, Mr. Perkin. So I
don’t agree with you.”
She smiled wanly and hurried
out to Philip. The Jethrup heir
silently took her hand and led
; her back to the car. He waited
i until they were en route to the
house, passing through quiet ru
ral scenery before he shook his
blond head disapprovingly.
“You are making a mistake,
Sally. I know it isn’t any of my
business, but I simply can’t re
frain from saying this. You’re
I making a mistake. You loved be-
I ing a stewardess. Remember
those letters you wrote when I
i was at school? And you’re giving
l it up for what? Because a man
) you like was kissing your best
I friend. Why punish yourself?”
Handsome, rich, lovable Phil
lip. “Perhaps I realize now that
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA
aviation was an eScape, too, Phil
ip.”
“An escape from what, Sally?”
She remembered the words her
mother had said the night of her
birthday party, and her lips curl
ed. “Perhaps I was trying to es
cape from disappointment. I had
been reared in the house of a
rich man, and suddenly I was
made to realize that I was not
rich. So I went into aviation,
which at least had more glamor
than there is attached to stenog
raphy or those other jobs which
are open to the poor.”
“Are you trying to tell me that
money is all you are after?”
“All? What else is there but
money, Philip? Human beings
fail you, but money doesn’t. When
you have money you are immune
to hurt. You—you have peace.”
Another time he would have
jeered, but his brain was teem
ing with too many unpleasant
thoughts. Outwardly, he might
have looked calm, even serene,
but inside there definitely was no
peace.
* * *
Sally, painfully aware of the
girl sitting under the tree, went
slowly through the garden, paus
ing every now and then to cut
an especially striking carnation
or pansy or aster. She was just
a bit angry with Helen for com
ing, but in a sense, she was also
glad that the girl had come.
Finished with one bed, she
walked to the other, which
brough her very close to the tree,
so close she could hear Helen’s
nervous breathing. On an im
pulse, she dropped her basket
and turned abruptly.
“Why did you come, Helen?”
“To talk to you.”
“You know I left the apart
ment because I didn’t want to
see or talk to you again.”
“But I couldn’t understand that
attitude, Sally. Come, are you in
love with Jimmy Kennedy?”
“I certainly am not,” she said
with conviction.
“Then what reason have you
to be angry?”
The question, the logic, had the
impact of a punch in the nose.
Sally’s mouth dropped open and
| she gasped. Helen, still calm, still
[smiling, went on:
| “You see, darling, I’m the one
who is entitled to be angry. You
never knew it, but Jimmy and I
were engaged once.”
“Helen!” All the stiffness went
out of Sally’s manner as she
dropped to her knees. “Helen—
you—you never told me!”
“Why rake up old scores? Jim
my fell out of love with me. He’s
that way, you know. Helen today,
Sally tomorrow, Dronda the day
after. Well, that's his life; let
him lead it. Only I hate to think
that you’re going to throw your
life away because of a kiss that
meant nothing at all, either to
[ him, or to me, or—to you.”
i “It was time I left the airlines
anyway,” Sally buttered. “Jim
my, Mike it wasn’t fun any
more.”
“Actually, that afternoon you
caught us in each other’s arms,

you were in love with Jimmy.”
“I was not!”
The denial was loud, but not
at all convincing.
“You were, Sally. That explains
your anger, you see, your feeling
that you were betrayed. And it
wouldn't be very odd if you
weren’t just a bit in love with
Jimmy, then. He's the personifi
cation of romance. Handsome,
charming, exciting—yes, it would
have been odd if he didn’t make
you go for him. Come on, ’fess up.
Let’s be done with secrets.”
The girl looked defiant. “Ail
right, I was a fool. I went for
him, as you put it.
“And now?”
“Now I don’t.”
“Swell.” Helen rose. “Why don’t
you come back to the city with
us? Miss Whoops came with me,
you know.”
“I know. She and mother were
busy talking over old times when
I came out to cut flowers. But
—but perhaps you won’t want to
live with me now, Helen. You see,
I’m not the same girl you knew,
good to think. You suddenly see
I’ve had a chance to think. It’s
where you’ve made mistakes. I
I have plans.”
“Sure, darling, you’re a fright
ful person now. You’ll probably
slit my throat and beat dogs and
children. But I’ll put up with
all that.”
Sally grinned; then the grin
faded. “You’ll have to, Helen. You
and—and Jimmy.”
“Jimmy?” The girl looked
blank.
“After all, we can’t let him
ruin himself, can we?”
It wasn’t so much what she
said, but the way she said it.
Helen looked troubled as they
walked back to the house.
* * *
Jimmy burst into Dronda
Moore’s dressing-room, looking as
furious as it was possible for him
to look. He slammed the news
paper on the vanity table, open
ing it to page five and indicating
the columnist’s story with sever
al thumps of his fist.
“Look, cherub, do you have to
make a fool out of me? What’s
the idea of giving a story like
this to the papers? I know it’s
good publicity for you, but may
be I don’t like it.”
“How tough,” she murmured
unsympathetically . “And next
time you come, you knock first,
huh?”
“Or do I walk out on you?”
“Walk where? Don't you get
it chum? You’re through as a fly
er. That story did it.”

“There are other jobs?”
“That pay seventy-five a week?
Don’t make me laugh.”
He looked, rather, as though he
wanted to make her weep. He
picked up the paper, rolled it
into a thick ball and threw it
into the wastebasket. “Is that the

flashing out. He swept her up in

“Only me, I’m different. I’m

“As though I’d ever jilt you,
Dronda.”
She laughed in his face, still
resisting his attempt to bring her
closer. “I wonder how many
times you’ve used that line.”
“Darling, stop wondering.” His
voice rang with awe. “This time
it isn’t a line.”
“You mean you love me,
chum?”
“Do you have to ask?”
She was adamant. “Say it. Give
me the works, Jimmy. I want to
see how good you are.”
He released her sadly, shaking
his head slightly. “I—l can’t,
Dronda. Lines are used only when
you’re not in love. When you are
in love, all you can say is—l love
you. I want to marry you. I love
you.”
