CHAPTER FORTY It wss evening now She and Julian would be leaving soon. The group that had gathered for cocktails on the verandah was urging that they change their plans and stay. "1 had counted on bridge this evening.” Mrs. Tracy was saying fretfully. “Are you determined to leave, Julian?” "Ask Patricia,” he said briefly. Mrs. Tracy turned to Patricia. She shook her head. Nothing could make her stay an unnecessary moment, nothing, not even Clark. "Must you go?” he asked pleadingly, at her elbow. “Won’t morning do just as well?” “No,” she said. “Please don’t urge me.” “Aren’t you having a good time, Patricia? You have seemed so strange today.” “I’m tired, that’s all. I didn’t sleep very well last night.” “What a shame,” broke in Martha, letting them know that she was present “I slept like a baby myself.” She looked reflectively at Julian. He looked at her. Deep within, Patricia felt herself begin to tremble. No one suspected. Marthe would see to that. Marthe could cheat and win. She could have Clark and Julian too. Patricia could not stop her. She could say nothing to Clark. Her hands were tied by her own sense of fair play, her own sensibilities, her own feeling for human decencies. But she could speak to Julian. On their way back to town she did. “I went for a walk last night,” she began deliberately. "I couldn’t sleep so I went for a walk on the lawn.” “Oh," was Julian's only comment. When Patricia failed to amplify her bare statement he ventured to say, “Well, what about your walk on the lawn? I’m all agog.” “You know what about it,” she advised him levelly. “I’m afraid that I don’t.” “Very well then,” said Patricia in a rush, "I didn’t mean to but I saw you—you and Marthe.” She had got it out. Her heart was pounding. Her face was crimson. Julian was completely undisturbed. Ue smiled in quiet amusement. “It was a nice night for a walk,” he admitted casually. “Marthe and I decided that we would take one too. Why didn’t you come out of the shrubbery and join us? Still,” he added after thought, “still I guess it’s just as well that you didn't.” His armor was perfect and bright. They had touched on the subject before, so he thought. But it wasn’t the same. This wasn’t the same. Patricia felt now that she was fighting for her life. She was not curious. She was not prying. She was not interfering in his affairs. It was just that she must know. The touch of her cold desperate fingers on his wrist startled Julian. Something that he saw in her face erased the smile from his lips. Poor youngster, he thought, and again, poor youngster . . . “Go ahead,” he said gently. “Surely you have not finished.” She gave him an earnest, penetrating look. Tears stung at her eyelids. “I haven't any right to question you,” she said, “I know that I haven’t.”

i “I give you the right—this once.” “Are you in love with Marthe?” “Good heavens, no.” He saw in chagrin that this wasn’t the answer she had hoped for. His very real sympathy lessened slightly. Still, he had promised. He prepared gracefully to yield to cross examination. "Is she in love with you?” “That’s an awkward question, my dear.” He grinned. “Even 1 have fleeting moments of modesty.” “I know,” faltered Patricia with a kind of wretched bravery, “that Marthe was in the house that time when 1 started my burglar hunt. I remembered when 1 heard her laugh last night” "My word, you are a detective,” he said sharply, growing irritated despite his best intentions. "I think we’d better hire you out to Holmes. Heaven knows that Marthe isn’t any saint Still 1 can’t think of any particular reason why I should deliver her piecemeal to you.” “She was asking about me last night.” put in Patricia, suddenly defiant. “I heard her ask if 1 were really your niece.” “What of it? 1 thought you had certain standards of your own, Patricia. I protected you from her last night and now I find today that 1 must protect her from you. Women,” announced Julian Haverholt distinctly, “women make me sick.” The girl dropped her head in shame. Always she thought of herself as superior to Marthe March only to be brought back again and again to the fact that she was not. Marthe was cheating, was deceiving Clark. Well, she herself was cheating too. It had taken Julian Haverholt to make her see it. How many women, Patricia wondered, liked in after years to remember the meannesses, the subterfuges of courtship days? They drove on in silence. Julian was annoyed. He made no attempt to conceal his disappointment in the girl. Half his irritation was based on his own wounded pride but he did not realize it and hence could be cold to Patricia’s suffering. “I know I seemed horrible,” faltered the girl, after a long time. Julian did not deny iL “You—you didn’t understand,” she muttered. “I understood all too well,” he informed her curtly. “You’re transparent as a pane of glass. You’re wondering just where Clark fits in.” “And if lam?” “I would suggest that he fits in as Marthe’s fiance. It’s a role that suits him to a ‘T’.” “Do you really believe that Marthe is playing fair?” “What’s the difference, if she can get away with it? I rather think,” said Haverholt deliberately, “that Marthe can. Marthe is very clever and Clark, for all his virtues, is a wee bit stupid.” “Clark isn’t stupid.” “I assure you, my darling, that he is.” Julian guffawed unexpectedly. Patricia clenched her fists, bit back a flood of angry words. She looked away from Julian at the spinning country - side through a haze of helpless tears. That was the worst of it, she was helpless. Everything was all wrong. It was not right that Julian should be able to laugh at Clark in just this way. Marthe was to blame. But. Marthe would never be brought to book. As Julian had so aptly said Marthe was clever. Patricia gave her that.

“You’ve been quiet a remarkable time,” said Julian presently. "Are you angry with me?” “Not in the least." replied Patricia in freezing tones. “You needn’t be nervous I have no intention of starting a reform wave." “Why be so bitter?” “I feel bitter." "But not about me?” “Hardly I’ve learned that lesson at least. I’m just as pleased as you are to have our paths quite separate.” “They need not be separate,” suggested Haverholt and reached but for her hand She jerked away. He looked a shade discomfited, but covered it neatly “Shall 1 buy a horse and fall off it, Patricia? Is that the way to your heart?” “You’re not interested," she said distantly, “and I’m not interested, so why pretend? I don’t quite hate you and I don’t quite like you and I’m sure you feel the same way. So let’s have no more of that.” “Speak for yourself, Patricia, don’t speak for me.” She looked up quickly at his tone “Do you think 1 couldn’t have you if I wanted you?’* he asked quietly. “Do you think I couldn’t have you if i decided to make you fall in love with me?” “If you Were the last man in the world,” she said monotonously, “you’d be a bachelor for all of me." “You seem very sure.” “I am sure.” She had never been more sure. Julian prudently dropped the subject, He said no more about Clark, nor did the girl. They spoke instead of the possibilities of the tourna-t meat with Blair As Julian declared in the morning they might have saved their breath. For Reuben Blair, making no comment on the sensational challenge, took a boat for Europe. Julian was annoyed and dis-t gusted. At least a thousand times he imputed sinister motives to Reu ben Blair’s European trip. A thousand times he declared the* Blair had fled to Paris to avoid the embarrassment of either accepting or declining to enter a battle which he was bound to lose. A theory that was doubtless true, Patricia reflected. Personally she blessed Reuben Blair. That Haverholt had been robbed of his triumph, that his well laid campaign for free publicity had collapsed in a single day meant nothing to her. She was delighted to discover that the newspaper men were willing to cry quits. “I had it all lined up too,” said Julian furiously, and added, aggrieved, “But you can’t stage a fight when your opponent pulls a vanishing act.” “You might set up a windmill on Broadway,” Patricia suggested mildly. “I’ll promise to carry a lance.” Haverholt stamped out of the room. Patricia smiled rather grimly. This check was good for his vanity. It might make him a shade less conceited. It was good for her too, she admitted soberly. Her day of reckoning had been postponed. She could breathe easily again. There was no immediate chance that her secret would be dragged to the light. She was still Patricia Haverholt to the world. With luck she might remain so—indefinitely.
