CHAPTER X
“But it can’t be, Helen. There
must be some mistake. Philip is
in love with me.”
“How interesting.”
“Well, he Is. And you needn’t
be so sarcastic.”
“And you should watch your
tongue, Sally.” Unable to con
trol herself, Helen whirled to
face her. “It’s about time that
you realized that other people
have feelings, too.”
♦ ♦ *
Surprised, the stewardess could
only stare at her. Then she hur
ried forward soothingly. “I’m
sorry, Helen. I—l just couldn’t
believe it.”
“Well, you may believe it now.”
“But . . .”
“It’s quite true. I don’t wish to
discuss it further.”
And Helen continued to the
kitchen, so furious that she ac
tually broke one of her prized
willowware plates. . . .
Mike threw up his hands in
mock defense as he let her into
the apartment a few hours later.
Surprisingly, Helen’s fury had
not abated, though she was usu
ally hard put to it to remain
angry at anyone for five min
utes. “I surrender, Helen. Pret
ty please, I surrender.”
“Goose! ” She sat down near
the window. “Well, give.”
“Say, you’re really angry.”
“Sure I am. I’m sick of her :
darn temperament. Can’t she
take a licking?”
“Why should she?”
Helen snapped her fingers.
“Oh, skip it. What gives, Mike?”
“Jimmy and Sally, of course.”
She met his eyes, then said
very clearly: “You’re a fool, you
know.”
“Am I? I don’t know what you
mean.”

“You love her, my chick. And
the age of chivalry died with the
bustle. Nobility doesn’t pay off.
I know.”
“Surely you don’t believe I’m in
love with her. Helen, how can
you be so silly!”
“Well? Let’s have the rest of
it.”
“I’m going to talk to Jimmy.
I think I can sock some sense
into him. That little business
with Dronda isn’t all moonlight
and roses. Jimmy is beginning to
feel annoyed. This morning he
just growled when I mentioned
dear Dronda’s name.”
“So?”
“So you go to work on Sally.
Try to talk some sense into her.
Try to stop her from playing the
fool.”
“Yes, try and stop her.”
“You’ve never been pessimis
tic, Helen. Don’t go sour on me,
please.”
“Why not let her take her lick
ing?”
“And Philip? Come, Helen. You
know perfectly well I’m not built
that way. Why should Sally ruin
his life?”
“She won’t. Haven’t you seen
the morning paper? Mr. Philip
Jethrup and Miss Catherine Win
gate are going to be married.”
His face came aglow. “Then
all vze have to do is knock some
sense into them and everything
will be all right.”
“Except for us, Mike.”
“Helen, are you still carrying
that torch?”
“Why not? I am very fond of
Jimmy, Mike.”
“But ...”
“And I don’t intend to give
him up. Do you think I did what
I did only to lose out at the last
moment?”
“What did you do, Helen?” he
asked with great weariness. He
sat down again and buried his
face in his hands.
“Mike,” she said affectionate
ly, “you’re an idiot. Very obvi
ously, I must look out for you,
too.”
She patted his shoulder and
went out with a firm, brisk step.
And stopped short, as Jimmy
came up the stairs with the usual
bounce in his manner.
“Why, hello, cherub. Come to
see the old master?”
“To see Mike, Jimmy. We were .
conspiring against you.”
“Swell. Never let it be said that
Jimmy Kennedy has uninterest
ing friends.”
She noted that he seemed
much more animated than usual
and the urge to hurt him shot
through her.
“You have no friends, Jimmy,
just acquaintances.”
“Hey, that isn’t fair.”
“Since when have you any
right to tell me or anyone that?
You’ve never played fair in your
whole life.”

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA
“I told you I wasn’t reliable.
I told you not to make a fool of
yourself.”
“After I’d fallen in love with
you.”
“Yeah, and I told Sally the
same thing, too.”
“After she’d fallen in love with
you.”
“Did cold-cut Sally finally get
around to admitting it herself?”
“Just a random observation of
mine, Jimmy.”
He consulted his wrist-watch,
a new one, a rather expensive
one, a»d laughted happily.
“You’ll have to excuse me, Hel
en. You’re beautiful, your con
versation is delightful, but I’ve
got to pack.”
Like twisting a knife in her
heart, in away, and smiling as
he did it.
“Pack?” Jimmy, where are you
going?”
“Places, cherub. To Buffalo,
then to Los Angeles and dear old
Hollywood. Dronda and I are go
ing to be married. You may have
the honor of being the first to
congratulate me.”
“You know what, Jimmy?”
“What?” he asked, nettled by
her evasion.
“I think I’m going to let you
do it. Yes, I think I really will
let you do it.”
“Hey,” he shouted after her.
Then made a wry face because
she kept on going down the
stairs.
♦ ♦ ♦
Sally didn’t think life was so
beautiful. She had been closeted
with her mother for almost a
half-hour now, and the more she
thought of it the more convinced
she was that life at best was a
mess.
After years and years of loyal
service to the Jethrups, her mo
ther was on the verge of being
discharged. Not because she had
failed to do her duty, but because
she had thought her duty was
more important than her own
weliare. Disgraceful, utterly dis
graceful, she thought, not at all
aware that she herself was by
way of being a little hypocrite.
“I won’t allow it, Mother. I
won’t allow them to fire you.”

“It’s too late now, Sally,” her
mother answered bitterly. “You
have never tried to help, that has
always been your trouble. If you
played played your cards cor
rectly . . .”
“I never was in love with Phil
ip.”
“Love? Don’t make me laugh.
With a fortune involved, must
you be so trite?”
“I’d have to live with the man,
Mother.”
Sally nodded. “I—l deserved
that, I guess. My only excuse is
that I wasn’t myself. Funny, I
thought I was such a level head
ed girl. And all along I wasn’t.”
♦ ♦ ♦
Mr. Perkin looked at Mr. Burke
and coughed. “A most unusual
request, sir. And I might add, one
impossible to grant.”
“I know. I know. Only what
would you do, Mr. Perkin, if you
had a girl like Dronda Moore
giving orders to you?”
“Women, sir, give no orders to
me.”
“I envy you. Cross my heart,
I envy you.”
“Tut, Mr. Burke, the trick is
to be firm. Firm, sirrah!”
“Her eyes are green and never
was there such a figure.”
“Ahem! I have had the pleas
ure of seeing Miss Moore and I
agree with you.”
“At least put those people in
the crew.”
“A most unusual request.”
“Maybe,” said Bill Burke tempt
ingly, “I can even get Dronda to
say she likes flying.”
“The whole world likes flying,
Mr. Burke. Still, a word from her
would be helpful. Yes, I think
the matter might be arranged ”
* * ♦
Mike looked at Jimmy and
shrugged. They had been going
at it hammer and tongs for an
hour, and so far Jimmy had just
laughed. Give up a gal like
Dronda for Sally?
“Nuts. And I’m not insulting
her when I say she doesn’t hold
a candle to Drando, either, Mike.
So why not shut up and let me
do my packing in peace?”
Mike sighed and started the
whole dreary business over again.
The news of the impending mar
riage had rattled him for a min
ute; then his quick brain had
seen away to use the news to his
and Sally’s advantage.
“Peace? What peace will you
ever have from now on? Look,
Jimmy, we’ve been pals for a
long time. I know what aviation
has meant to you. Yes, and free
dom, too. And you’re giving all
that up for a woman?”
“What better reason to give
them up is there?”
“You’re talking to Mike, Jim
my, not one of your girls. I’m not
at all Impressed.”
“Nor just a bit jealous?”
Mike stiffened, then relaved.
“You know that isn’t it. I’m
thinking about you, remembering
the swell kid you were when we
first got to know one another. I
don’t want to see you throw your
self away.”
“Hollywood is a nice place to
throw yourself away in, Mike.
Good climate, lots of money.”
“Whose money, Jimmy?”
“Dronda’s. Don’t look so shock
ed. If I don’t mind, you have no
right to.”
“Just a gigolo! What a come
down for a guy who could have
married a dozen swell girls just
for the asking.”
“Like Sally. Mind sitting on
this damned suitcase?”
Mike didn’t get a chance to say
that he did mind. The ’phone
rang. It was Perkin. When Mike
turned to look at Jimmy, his face
was wrapped in thought. Now
what in the name of all that was
good did Dronda want with him
and Sally and Helen?
“The suitcase, Mike?”
Maybe the girl had something
up her sleeve? Maybe he should
keep his fat mouth shut and wait
and see?
