CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE I “Hurry, John Harmon! There’s an omelet. I’ve learned the trick at last, but do hurry, darting, so we can gobble it up before anything happens to it!” He came out to her then, his hair rumpled, a determined smile on his face. He helped her put the omelet •nd the coffee and the platter of bacon on the table. She was gay and flushed and very lovely in a erisp violet sinock. “Good day?” he asked casually, to make conversation. “Quite. Sold a set of Balzac—a very rare set. Mr. Rose nearly wept when I wrapped it up.” “You don’t find it dull?” "Quiet but never dull. There are books that are better company than 1 people—l’m just discovering it.” , “Yes, I know. I’ve felt likd that II about some of them.” "How long did you sit up writI ing last nigiit, John Harmon?” “Oh, not so long. I didn't get anywhere, either—that’s the worst of it—threw everything I wrote into the waste-basket. The book is going stale on me, Stan.” Suddenly he stopped eating and buried his face in his hands. “Just exactly what do you mean by that, John Harmon?” “Just that. I can’t explain it but i I’ve lost the heart for it.” Abruptly his head came up and he was speaking quickly, bitterly. “A smart novel about smart people—my heavens, ■ | Stanley, the irony of it! When the only people I ever see are so dam drab and uninteresting! You can’t live the way we do and write about :' the sort of people that are in my book—it’s a joke, a miserable joke! I'an going to ask Maynard to give me a job at the office—a regular job pounding a typewriter. It’s all ; I’m good for anyway!” Stanley felt her breath tighten I in her throat. He had included her in “drab and uninteresting peo- ; pie,” he had said, “You can’t live the way we do.” He had not meant 1 to but he had hurt her—hurt her terribly. He had ruthlessly anti carelessly snatched away something ‘ sweet and rather precious, that was her delight, in this life they had n\ade together. But more than she was hurt she was concerned for John Harmon. ' The book must really be going stale H or he would never have spoken like ' that; would nOl be sitting there 1 1 now, scowling and heavy-eyed let- ’ 1 ting her precious omelet sink slowi ly into a dejected heap on the platter. And the book was John Harmon —it was a definite part of him, he t couldn't give it up and still be himself. John Harmon without the urge ; to write would be like a lamp with the flame snuffed out, a grate filled ’ with gray ashes instead of glowing coal; just another dull person in- ; stead of a real, vital individual with £ a keen enthusiasm and an impetu- ■ | ous zest for living. I Suddenly Stanley forgot her own hurt in this clear conception of ?! John Harmon no longer writing a *i novel but working in an office, his ! typewriter quiet, his study unused. * And in her concern she spoke e sharply. “You ought to be ashamed of . yourselt—-sitting there like a sulky child, saying you won’t play any ! more! Did you think yon were never

going to hit a snag, run up against 1 difficulties and discouragement? Just because you’ve got talent and a spark of genius and can write pages that don’t have to have a jine rewritten doesn’t mean you can go on that way indefinitely. The trouble with you, John Harmon, is that you’ve kept at it too long. What you need is to get away from it for a while—get outdoors and forget it and let your head clear up—for a month!” His head came up from where he had dropped it against his clenched hands. He stared at her with tormented eyes. He had expected her to understand —or had he? Anyway, she hadn’t She thought this thing that had happened to him was something that fresh air would cure! As though it was a silly headache or a fit of temper or something equally ridiculous! Then, as he stared at her, the anger went out of his eyes, out of his tightened mouth—oh, how sweet she looked, , and how troubled; with that little frown between her eyes and her cheeks very pink and her hair flung back like that from her forehead—and she was his, he had held her in his arms, loved her. “Im a fool, darling —a selfish fool.” He jumped up and went around the table and took her in his arms. Or what really happened was—he w9nt into her arms. For the moment anyway he was the bewildered child and sTie the consoling mother. Perhaps in those few min- ' utes that he knelt beside her and , clung to her, John Harmon was i more ingenuous with her than he , Bad ever allowed himself to be i before. For a time, at least, he forgot himself completely in his need 1 of her; he was content to take, and i in the taking he found a sweet and r gentle release from the restraint r which had been so nuuch a part of

his love for her. And so it had ended—that time. But as the days went on Stanley, watching closely without seeming to do so, knew that things were still wrong with John Harmon. Never again did he say as much in words, but he didn’t need to—it was there in his eyes, in the set of his shoulders, in the forced gaiety of his smile. “How’s ‘Gloria’ coming?” Stanley would ask casually, coming in from the bookshop at night, bringing with her a breath of crisp air, a sparkle of winter sunset. “Not very fast—l’m having to rewrite a lot. The people seem to have lost their realness—they’re all stuffed with sawdust.” - “Would it help any to read it aloud?” “No, I’d rather not. Something's bound to happen—it’ll take a brace suddenly. I wouldn’t work on it for a while but I’m anxious to get it .ready for spring publication—Maynard’s promised to look at it, yoa know.” “Yes, I know. I wish 1 could do something, John Harmon.” “You’re a darling, Stanley, I’m afraid I’m a moody fellow. Tell me you don’t mind, dear?” “Not as long as things are right with you.” “Things will always be right with me as long as I have you. I lovs you, Stanley.” “And I love you.” And so January slipped into February and John Harmon grew thin and anxious-eyed and sat up far into the night, and in the morning the waste-paper basket was filled with torn paper and the pile of manuscript had sometimes not benefited by a single page.
