CHAPTER XV “I hr.d no idea that you two . . . thnt f>cott . . Olivia went on. “That's all right,” Whitney interrupted. "Things happen like that. You didn't know.” "That isn’t quite true ” A dull red flush crept into the whiteness of Olivia’s face. Her lips shook a little. “I suppose I did know. I suppose that’s really why I rushed him into marrying me like that . . . before you could get home . . .” Whitney smiled grimly. “Scott was free, white and twenty-one. He wanted to marry you, Olivia. Quite as much at the time as you wanted to marry him.” “Do you really believe that?” “Os course, I do. He told me so himself.” “He told you . . “Yes. You probably hate us for discussing it but we did.” The waiter returned with fruit cocktails, hovered over them for a moment and then went away. Olivia said: “No, I don’t mind.” Then she said: “You understand, don’t you, that I love him? That I love him quite as much as you do?” “Oh, yes,” said Whitney, meeting her eyes steadily, "I do understand that.” She thought: "That's what has made it so hellishly hard ... all the time I have known that.” “And you just said yourself that he wanted to marry me?” “Yes, I said that.” “Then he must have loved me ... to have wanted to do that . . . don’t you think?” “Yes, I think he must have loved you very much.” "Then,” said Olivia, and now her eyes were fastened desperately on Whitney, “if he loved me once, there isn't any reason why he shouldn’t love me again, is there? There is no reason, really, why our marriage can’t be a success?” “No,” said Whitney mechanically. *no reason at all.” “No reason," corrected Olivia, “except you. If you stick around, Whitney, there isn’t a chance in the world that it will be. Not a chance.” Whitney said slowly: “Just what do you mean?” "Just that. Oh, I know you will be very sweet and noble about everything. Scott is married to me and so he’s forbidden property to you. And you won't cheat. You’re too fine and decent and well-bred and, yes, smug to do that! But you’ll ruin every chance at happiness that I’ve got . just as surely and perhaps a lot more thoroughly than you would if you were less honorable about it.” Whitney said, speaking bitterly: “Speaking of honor . . .” "I know. You think I didn’t show very much when I married him the way I did. Well, perhaps I didn’t But the fact remains that I am married to him and I think I ought to have a chance, a fighting chance, to make a suacess of it . . Whitney shid suddenly, her voice perfectly quiet! “I think you should, too, Olivia, and I’m going to give it to you. For a wedding present. I’ll clear out. I’ll go to New York. Next week if I can arrange it.” Olivia seemed to crumple suddenly against her chair. Then she straightened up and a slight smile dragged at her lips and something warm and grateful sprang into her eyes. In that moment before she spoke there was something splendid about Olivia. She said: “Thank you, Whitney. I had an idea that perhaps you would. That’s why I decided to talk to you frankly like this . . The waiter came and took the fruit coektails away and noticed that they had not been touched. But he was a good waiter. It was his business to serve per,pie well and silently .. . and not question whether, having ordered fruit cocktails, they should have eaten them. He served sweetbread and mushroom patties and hoped they would do better by them, »hey were a specialty of the house

and very expensive. Then he retired to the serving pantry where he might, with any luck, sit down for a few minutes. His feet were hurting him more and more lately . . . They had been tramping for hours over the narrow, snow-trodden streets of East Boston. It had been Tod’s idea coming here. Whitney had said: “Take me somewhere where we can walk and not be seen and not be spoken to . . And he had said: “Well, there’s always the water front ... we might cover that . . .” And they had. Whitney's face was whipped with color now and her legs were aching with weariness. In a little while she would be ready to eat something and drink some coffee. And then he would take her back to Beacon Hill and, with any luck, she would sleep. She said: "Olivia was right, you know, Tod ... about our being noble and sweet and smug . . . she was awfully right. You’ve no idea how I’ve been admiring myself these last two months. How I’ve congratulated myself on having handled the whole situation with dignity and honesty and . . . fairntas.” She laughed hysterically. "And all the time I've really been being rotten. Tod, and cowardly... and cheap.. Tod said: “Stop it, Whit. I thought we had that all washed up. I thought we had both agreed to let it lay .. "AU right,” said Whitney, wearily, “we will. Let’s go somewhere and eat. Hot dogs, I think, and coffee . . She smiled at him. And then she stopped in the shadow of an empty warehouse and put her arms around him suddenly and kissed him. Her lips were cold and salt with tears and they touched his for just a second ... He said: "Thanks, darling ... but what was that for?” Somewhere deep inside of him he was trembling . . . being kissed by Whitney <m a wind-swept pier in East Boston was one of the most beautiful things that had ever happened to him. She slipped her hand through his arm. “It was for a lot of things, nut. But mostly it was for being you ... and for being the one thing I can clutch at, in a world that seems to be crashing around my head.” It wasn’t much. It was very little, really. Yet in the long months when she would be in New York, when he I would neither see her nor hear her ' voice, it would be something to re-! member. To remember and treasure.' • It was six o’clock and snowing cr Murray Hill. From where she lastretched flatly on Helena’s red sofa., Whitney could see snowflakes, enor-: mous and feathery, drifting across ! the high windows. She thought: “It might be a year ago and Boston . . , last March I used to walk through just such snowstorms to meet Scott at the Touraine. English muffins and that imported strawberry jam and it was more fun meeting there than anything else because we were relatively sure of being alone . . .” But it wasn't Boston. It was New York and she would, never walk through a snowstorm to meet Scott at the Touraine ... or elsewhere. Somewhere a clock chimed the hour faintly and the door opened and Helena came into the room. There was snow melting on her eyelashes and on the soft brim of her hat and on the collar of her gray fur coat. As a young girl she had just missed being pretty. Now at thirty-one she was extremely good-looking, with rust-color hair, a flat slim figure and a passion for clear red lipstick, Walt Disney films, hats with brims, hot baths, modern musie, old china and a man she had known for years who had a job in Rio de Janeiro and only got back to New York occasionally. She smiled at Whitney and said: “Hello, darling. I have news for you. Jay Nowell is back in town

and wants to see you. Tonight, if possible. He's telephoning. ( Jay Nowell. Whitney hadn t thought of him in months. She sat up on the red sofa, frowned at Helena, and said so. She said: “I’d forgotten the man. I asked him to dinner but he was flying to New York at once and couldn’t come. It was fortunate that he couldn’t because that was the day that Tod met my boat and told me that Scott had married a blonde girl named Olivia. It all seems a long time ago.” “Well,” said Helena, “it wasn t. It was only five months ago.” She took off her hat and shook it gently and smoother her sleek, rustcolored hair. Everything about her suggested an expensive apartment on the East River with a dropped living room, beige satin sofas, chalkwhite flowers and a bathroom done in midnight blue and cromium. Yet for ten years, or the exact length of time she had been in New York, she had lived in this old-fashioned, comfortable apartment on Murray Hill. She said "He’s been out in Nebraska or Nevada or somewhere visiting his mother.” “Oklahoma,” Whitney remembered suddenly. “She married an oil man.” She was remembering other things. That it had been October and the wind had been blowing on Boston Harbor. He had been a dark young man, incredibly good-looking, and he had said: “I love you, Whitney Prentice ... what are you going to do about it?” And because that then as now there was nothing that she could do about it, he had gone away and she had forgotten him. But presently he was to telephone and she was to remember him again. He was to become, in so short a time as two months, an important and pleasant part of her life and for nearly two years he was to remain part of it. It was May and it had very recently stopped raining and Whitney wanted to walk. But Jay had pointed out reasonably enough that the pavements were still wet, that the theater was twenty blocks distant and that she would ruin her slippers, which were merely slender heels and narrow straps of satin crossed over her insteps. So they were riding westward in the dim mustiness of a cab and her left hand was resting lightly in Jay’s right hand and his left arm was comfortably encircling her shoulders. So they were wont to ride in the spring of nineteentbirty three. Heads tipped back against the leather cushions, not talking much, pleasantly but not acutely aware of each other. They had gone a long wav since that day in March when Helena had come home and said: “Jay Nowell is back in town . . . and wants to see you.” They had passed swiftly through the slight awkwardness of meeting again after that rather emotionally concentrated week on shipboard. Through the subsequent period of Jay’s making a mild pretense of still being romantically in love with her. This had not lasted long. Whitney had said to him one night: “Why bother to pretend something that you don’t feel and that I don’t want you to feel for me? It’s more fun this way, really.” Jay had said: “If I am not in love with you at the moment, Whitney ... and to be quite honest with you, I am not... it is because you have been so recently and badly bruised emotionally that I suppose I can’t help feeling more compassionate than ardent toward you.” She had liked him for saying this. For being absolutely honest with her. And after that they had continued to see a lot of each other and she had come to depend on him for a certain amount of companionship.
