CHAPTER XIII Rose would want to know about the Sutton dinner also. Jonathan took her to the movies that night. It was Saturday, and the majority of his patients would be shopping and not wasting their time in his office. The few who did drift in, drifted out again promptly. Pursuant to a tentative promise, he called for Rose and took her to the nine o’clock show. The Riverport motion picture house had, as Jonathan had already discovered, an excellent screen and a fairly large seating capacity. It needed it, for as yet it had no competition in the town. Vaudeville had recently invaded its stage and Rose and Jonathan together with other more enthusiastic companions, sat through three terrific acts in as much silence as they could maintain. During the newsreel they discussed them, in whispers. “Awful,” said Rose, sighing. “I always feel so embarrassed for the poor things ... and they do work so hard.” He inquired gravely, “What did you think of the impressionistic dancing—with a dash of adagio?” “Was that what it was? I couldn’t be sure.” “Neither could I. In fact, I wondered whether the lady—grandmotherly soul, wasn't she?—was suffering from a red hot appendix or unrequited love,” ha confessed. Rose laughed and a neighbor shushed her violently as the feature went on, and the house rustled int* comparative quiet. Coming out of the theatre was like old home week. Everyone they encountered knew Rose and almost everyone seemed to know Jonathan, whether he had met them previously or not. In fact, standing under the street light on a very chilly morning one large, overly robust lady exhibited, without shame, a remarkable wart on a Napoleonic nose. “I’m afraid to have it taken off,” she sighed. “I don’t hold with surgery!” Jonathan started to speak, was furiously pinched by Rose, and Bill Lynd, scrolling up, emitted a warning cough.*Said Bill calmly, “I’m sure if you’d call at Doctor Kim-ber-’s office, Mrs. Fritch—?” and linking his arm through Jonathan’s, led him away a step or two, hissing, “Keep your head . . . who do you think you are, a medicine man, dispensing free advice on a street corner?” Rose was laughing and Sally Sutton, coming out of the theatre with Phil Dexter, saw the little group. She raised a manicured eyebrow and said something to her companion. Presently she strolled over to them and spoke without removing the long cigarette holder which she held in the corner of her mouth. “Hello, Kim,” she said, smiling, “I see you’ve joined the Main Street gang. . . .” She looked casually at Rose. “Oh, how are you. Rose?” she added and then, brightening, “If it isn’t Bill Lynd I” “It always has been,” agreed Bill. Dexter, joining them, looked faintly uncomfortable. He hadn’t seen Bill Lynd to speak to since an epic battle which had taken place a good many years before in which young Mr. Dexter had been ignominiously defeated. Sally, hatless, the mink coat huddled about her, now withdrew the cigarette holder. She said, “We were just going down to Bert’s for a soda. I persuaded Phil—by the way, you ah know Phil, don’t you? You remember him, Kim. He’s the young man who wrapped me about the lamp post This is Doctor Kimber, Phil—he goes around consoling yaeng women who have been in auto accidents.... Come on, join us. We thought a soft drink an appropriate end to a hard evening.” Rose said something, but no one heard her, and as it would become entirely too awkward to stand

The second figure, representing the other one-third, goes into a common

around street corners arguing and refusing, she permitted herself to be taken in tow. In Jonathan's car, riding the short distance to the ice cream parlor she said, irritated, “I don't know how we got into this.” “Neither do I,” admitted Jonathan cheerfully. “You haven’t told me about last night I hoped you would, after the picture.” “There isn’t much to tell. A lot of conversation, food and drink. All very impressive,” he answered. Rose said, after a minute, “You’re a marked man. Sally’s claimed you, tagged you, ordered you delivered.” “F. 0.8. he inquired laughing, and Rose thought instantly, what a stupid thing for me to say; I wish I hadn’t The ice cream parlour was

crowded but tables were immediately pushed together and room made available for their party. Sally Sutton and Phil Dexter were a rather overwhelming combination. Jonathan, drinking a frosted chocolate, watched Sally’s spectacular appetite with amazement... a three decker sandwich, a frosted coffee, it was astonishing, when one considered her flawless skin and her figure. Rose was talking to Bill Lynd and Dexter, patently not overpleased at the turn of events, yawned openly and regarded the situation with disfavor. Jonathan regarded him with much the same feeling. Stocky, very dark, with heavy eyebrows and a weak mouth over a brutal chin, he was not especially prepossessing. Sally lifted her glass and nodded oyer it to Jonathan. She said, '•“‘Here’s how, mud in your eye and all that sort of thing. Look, Kim, we were planning a shindig over Thanksgiving. If there’s anything in the world that gives me the jitters it’s the groaning board surrounded by groaning relatives. So we thought we’d go up to Placid.... Come with us. . . .” He said, smiling, “I don’t go in for winter sports.

1 “I’d teach you." She leaned nearer > to him, and a wave of fragrance, , flower-sweet, heavy, reached him. ■ Her curly yellow head was close to i his shoulder and Rose, looking up, was conscious of a definite and unwelcome paag. Bill said, low, “Predatory just about explains her ....” and attacked his ice cream, smiling. Sally was insisting. She was saying, “I’d like to discover just what sports you do go in for ... 1 Come on, we’d have a marvelous time.” Jonathan shook his head. He said, “I couldn’t leave—” “Come,” said Sally, amused, “don’t tell me you’ve suddenly become the most sought after physician in town.” He colored, at that. He said, “No, of course not. But I have a few patients and they'd find me

■ more easily on Senator Street than i at Lake Placid. And moreover,” he ' added, quite clearly, "I’m already i booked for Thanksgiving dinner." He looked across at Rose. Sally • was silent for a moment. Then she said, “I see. . . .” and smiled at the • other srirl. “School teacher wins ■ first prize,” she said lightly. Phil Dexter's heavy face lightened somewhat. He focused his eyes , on Rose as if he saw her for the first . time. What he saw pleased him, ap- ; parently. He said, “That’s so, you do teach; think you could teach me ' anything?” , Rose regarded him with distaste. t She said casually, “I would not , wonder,” and then flushed at his shout of laughter.... “Now, if you I mean that the way I hope you mean it,” he began, leaning forward. | “Your girl friend’s rung the bell , with Phil,” Sally told Jonathan, ■ without amusement, "and her boy , friend doesn’t like it,” she addei£ . not troubling to lower her voice, but . observing Bill Lynd’s quick, instino- > tive movement toward Rose with . growing interest.
