CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE Once upstairs she wearily dropped off her clothes, brushed her hair slowly, methodically and got into bed. The lights were off. She was lying in the dark. The agoi.y of pain and jealousy that she had ept at bay all evening was upon her. The scene in the living room returned again and again. She could not escape it. A thousand times she saw Clark lifting her hand to kiss it, saw Mart he walking in the door, j How cheap in retrospect her own part seemed! Clark was engaged and she had known it. Yet she had deliberately sought to charm him, had used every means to engage his interest, had openly flung herself at his head. Her thoughts swung inevitably to thit point when she had been about to tell Clark everything, when she had wavered on the brink of confessing her love for him. Her cheeks burned in the darkness. How skilfully the man had averted her confession. How quickly he had offered friendship. She turned and twisted, disgusted with herself, her pride in tatters. Presently she heard footsteps and voices in the hall outside. The others were coming upstairs. Someone knocked at her door. Patricia lay very still. “Patricia,” someone called, “Patricia." It was Julian. “What do you want?" she responded dully. “I’m in bed.” “Put on something, please. I’d like to talk to you.” “You’ll have to wait till mornHe went away. After a while a deep silence fell upon the house. Suddenly Patricia sprang from bed, pulled on a negligee and went to the window. Leaning her elbows on the sill she stared out into the starlit night. The Sound was a sheet of onyx silvered by moonlight, stirred by a wandering, vagrant breeze. Patricia looked up at the dome of the sky sprinkled with millions of stars, slashed by a crescent moon. How cheap and petty seemed the struggles of two girls for a single man. This girl could think of nothing else. “Clark could have loved me,” whispered Patricia to herself. “I knew he could have.” t But he hadn’t. He wouldn’t. Things weren’t planned that way. Marthe had everything. She would have this final glory. Some bright day in the fall Marthe would walk dowm a carpeted aisle with Clark. Marthe would kneel in her fluttering veil and satin gown, would rise, would lift her lips for her first kiss as a wife. Patricia laid her head on the window sill. It was not fair that one girl should have so much, that another girl should have so little. How different her life and Marthe’s life had been. Marthe had had expensive nurses, governesses, smart schools, trips to Europe Patricia’s own life seemed to pass before her eyes in a series of little pictures that were like stereopticon slides She saw herself as a child of ten, shabby and eager, a gambler’s daughter, waiting for her father to come in from an ail night game Had the cards been running? Yes or no? Even at ten she had known the extreme importance of her father’s answer She saw herself again after his death, crushed with Brief and dazed with worry, won-

dering, before she was in her teens, i what was to keep them all from t starving. The pictures came thick and fast < . . . Lillian bent over a sewing ma- t chine, herself on an endless search t for a job, the children crying from t cold. She remembered the time • when she had first played cards for ' money. Fifteen she was, and Eileen i Sycott had needed a fourth to make up a table of bridge. Not that she 1 had gambled then. It had been a 1 job that paid her fifty cents an 1 hour. But she had gambled so often 1 since. She had gambled at last with j her own good name. The pact with 1 Julian Haverholt, as she viewed it now, was no more, no less than 1 that. She was thinking so hard of Julian just then that she saw him on the lawn below with a shock of surprise. It must be nearly two o’clock. Julian, coatless, his white ' head bare, strolled out of the vision ' of her window and on across the moonlit gardens as casually as though it had been eight in the • morning. He had wanted to speak to her. About what? Suddenly Pat- 1 ricia determined to know. In a minute she had hurried into clothes, pulled on a soft little hat, slipped into walking shoes. She was in the upstairs hall. The house was asleep. With no especial attempt at caution Patricia walked down the stairway, through the darkened foyer and out into the brilliant night. The grass was heavy with dew. The wind from the Sound was cool. Julian was not in sight. All at once the expedition seemed silly. What Julian had to say could wait until morning Patricia hesitated, glancing this way and the*, half inclined to return to bed. Still she knew that she could not sleep. She strolled on. her eyes alert for a glimpse of the man. Her footsteps left tracks in the sparkling dew. Finally she caught a flicker of

movement, or thought she did, in the summer house. Shadows lay heavy there from the vines that embowered the graceful structure that was planted in the midst of tail, black trees The scent of wistaria was sweet in the air. Was Julian in the summer-house? Patricia saw the bright eye of a cigarette. He was! She advanced, stopped very suddenly. The aelid ground seemed to melt beneath her feet. Julian was in the summer house. He was not alone. Marthe March was with him. Patricia could not see her but she heard Mtfrthe say: “Come now, Julian. Tell the truth for once in your wicked life. J know, I know that girl is not your niece.” “Then you’re wrong.” “Oh, am I?" Julian must have kissed her then. For, as she fled, Patricia heard the other girl’s low, exultant laugh. She had heard that laugh before. She knew it now. Weeks before Marthe had left Julian’s house at four in the morning Patricia had heard that self-same laugh on that so-well-remembered occasion. • * • Sunday passed like a nightmare. There had been breakfast on the lawn under the trees, there had been a quick dip in a swimming pool as blue as a sapphire lake, there had been a polo game in the afternoon. They had all piled into cars to go to the field. Patricia had seen Clark, a cork -helmet tilted rakishly across his burned, brown brow, a mallet held in his steady hand, riding with incredible grace, the star of his chosen game the others she had cheered; for the first time she heard about mysterious things called c'nukkers. It had been nothing. She had moved through the day like a person under an evil spell, knowing that she must go through with it, longing Jo get away.
