CHAPTER IX
“I am but a servant, Miss Win
gate. Don’t you think that it is
up to you to make the decision?”
* * *
‘‘Dronda Moore married!” Hel
en kept murmuring to herself,
half in wonder. ‘‘Dronda Moore
married!”
She hadn't believed sister Jen
ny at first. How could she know
’way out there in Kansas? But
the answer to the telegram she
had immediately dispatched had
left no room for doubt.
‘‘Of course Dronda is married.
Ask her about Bill Burk’s broth
er Harold.”
* * *
To tell Jimmy or not to tell
him, that was the question. Or
the beginning of the question.
For if Jimmy stopped paying
Dronda court, would he start
wooing Sally again, start hurting
her again? She certainly could
not do anything to bring that
about. But on the other hand,
didn’t Jimmy have some claim on ’
her? They’d known one another |
for a long time, and . . .
‘‘Sally!”
‘ Yes?” The girl sounded pre
occupied.
"What did you say to Jimmy
last evening?”
"Plenty.”
“How’d he take it?”
The usual way. A laugh. Noth- i
ing can disturb Jimmy’s equan-'
imity.”

"Such a big word for a small
girl.”
Sally appeared in the doorway,
looking grim. "I said a lot of big
things last night, Helen. And I
meant them. I’ll teach Jimmy a
lesson he’ll never forget.”
"Aw, hes not a bad guy.”
Sally stamped her foot. "How
I can you say that, after the way
1 he treated you?”
"I’ve been kissed before, dear.”
She’d told Sally the first lie
that entered her head. Why not?
She’d told herself bigger ones.
For instance, she’d told herself
that she didn’t love Jimmy, didn’t
,ove him at all.
“Maybe he’ll get a lesson from
Dronda, Sally. Let him alone,
hugh?”
"Oh, no. I’m going to take him
away from her, and then!”
“Think you can do it?”
"Im the same girl he begged
for a date.”
* * *
Evening and a countryside
shimmering in the glow of a full, |
brilliant moon. And the air filled
with the sweet scent of flowers
and a sighing breeze. Philip
Jethrup felt profoundly moved
as he took Catherine Wingate’s
hand and helped her over the
stiles of the little fence. "Tired,
darling?”
“Philip, I’m never tired when
I’m with you.”
“Sweet.” He brought her hands
to his lips and kissed them, first
one then the other, then all over
again, while she shivered de
liciously.
“Philip, you’ll wear them out!”
“Or my lips. Well, they’ll be
worn out in a good cause.”
“Just two more weeks, Philip.
Think of it, just two more
weeks!”
“I couldn’t think of anything
else if I wanted to, darling.”
And that was the truth. When
horror is about to enfold you in
its arms, it is difficult to think
about anything else.
As though sensing his thought,
which was exactly what had hap
pened, she withdrew her hands
from his. A mosquito whirred in
her ear and she slapped at it in
effectually. “Now let’s stop act
ing, hugh, Philip?”
“I—l beg your pardon?” Lost
in his own thoughts, he really
hadnt heard.
“I said, let’s stop acting. You
don’t want to marry me, isn’t
that so?”
"Yes, Cathie,’ he said firmly,
“I do.”

“Philip!”
He got up and took her into
his arms. "Yes, darling, it’s you
I’ve always really loved.”
* ♦ *
Mike would have been pleased
had he seen their kiss, because
Mike was furious enough with
; Stewardess Sally Alliston to wish
her all the bad luck in the world.
He had been properly sorry for
his condition the evening she
! came calling, and she had been
I suitably gay and forgiving and
I even accepted his invitation to
go dining and dancing. But then
her mood had changed—changed
while they were on the dance
floor. Having no way of know
ing that the orchestra was play
ing the identical tune the or
chestra had played in New York
when she was in Jimmy’s arms,
he was rather confused by her
abrupt: "Oh, I don’t feel like
dancing, Mike; let’s sit down.”
He was uncomfortable when
they returned to their table. He
had drunk several martinis, so
he was slightly dizzy, as well.
Made less inhibited by the alco
hol, he boldly took her hand and
squeezed it gently.
"Sally, what did I do wrong?
You look as angry as—as I’ve
ever seen you look.”
“Skip it, my pet.”
“No,” he told her stubbornly,
“I won’t. You’ve changed in a
subtle way, Sally. I can’t skip
that.”
“Just tired of dancing, Mike,
thats all.”
“I don’t mean that, though
it’s linked to what I do mean.
Frankly, Sally, are you in love
with Jimmy?”
She drew her hand away.
"What a ridiculous thing to ask.”
"Yet the logical question to
ask.” He frowned as a drunk
bumped into his chair. "Look,
let’s go somewhere and talk.”
“About Jimmy? I should say
not.”
He sighed. The noise in the
dine and dance place was head
splitting. “Ever since that first
evening you spent with him, Sal
ly. You fell for him, didnt you?”
“No!” she cried vehemently.
“I didn’t!”
“And he left you for Dronda.
Fell for her. And so, enter cyni
cal Sal, who is not a wonderful
gal.’
“Are you quite finished?” she
inquired icily.
Again he captured her hand;
again he leaned forword intense
ly over the little table. “I’ll nev
er be finished, Sally. You see,

I love you too much.”
This time she didn’t succeed
in pulling her hand from his,
though she tried to—energetical
ly. "Mike, do you have to spoil
every date we have?”
“Instinct tells me to keep try
ing, Sally. Instinct tells me that
if I try often enough I’ll get
what I want.”
“All right, then. I fell in love
with him.”
His face blanched, but he held
grimly on to his show of com
posure. “And now, jealous, hurt,
bitter, you want to strike back
at him. Suppose you succeed,
Sally? Suppose you make him
come crawling back to you—
which you won’t, by the way—
what then?”
"Then I shall marry Philip
Jethrup!”
“Os all the dirty thoughts!’ he
raged.
"Is it? That’s unfortunate. But
please remember that I didn’t
start this way. I have learned
from my dear friends. Jimmy
plays high, wide and handsome,
and that’s all right. You spoil
our friendship and that’s all I
right. Well, it’s all right for me
to marry for money then.”
"Are you through?”
She flung her head back. “I
am, Mike. Do I get lecture one
or two or three?” •
He rose and slapped her face.
His face was red with fury. His
breath rasped in his throat.
“You cheap and I thought I
loved you!”
She pressed her hand to her
stinging cheek, eyes wide with
amazement. “You you slapped'
me! ”
“You deserve worse, by God!'
A slimy, despicable thing likel
you! And I thought . . .”
She sprang from her chair,
tears streaming down her
cheeks. “Mike, I . . .”
“Get out. Get out before I real
ly forget myself. You hear, get
out!”
“Hey, loud-mouth, you keep
yer hands off her!”
A burly gentleman with a cigar
clenched between his teeth rose
from an adjoining table threat
eningly. He promptly sat down
as Mike gave him a lusty shove
and stamped out.
♦ ♦ ♦
Helen was rather surprised
when she received the telephone
call from Mike. She was engaged
in washing the breakfast dishes
when the ’phone rang, and had
beat Sally to it only by a hair’s!
breadth. But she was even more i
surprised when Mike told her |
why he wanted to see her.
Forced to speak guardedly,
then realizing that guarded tones
and words would get neither any
where, she promised to meet him
before going out for her swing-;
shift term of duty. Sally, miffed,
went back to the bedroom in a
hufi.
“A fine thing, Helen! It could
have been for me.”
“For you? Who’d telephone
you?”
“I’m not exactly undesirable,”
Sally mentioned delicately. She
posed in the doorway, with a
hand on her hip, rather pleasing
even to Helen’s jaded eye in yel
low pajamas. “There’s Philip,
you know.”
"Philip?” Helen just managed
to control her start. “Have you
read this morning’s paper?”
"I refuse to read about Jim
my’s escapades.” Out went Sally’s
smile, like a light being switched
off.
“On the society page it says
that Philip and Catherine Win
gate are to be married. The date
is for the first.”
“You’re lying!” Sally’s voice
was electric with fury, “You—
you’re lying!”
Helen picked the paper from
the sofa and carried it over to
her. She opened it, indicated the
notices, then marched toward
the kitchen, feeling just a bit an
gry herself. Liar, indeed!
