CHAPTER XXVIII Then Tod went on: “You’re to marry Scott and live happy ever after and I’m going to Paris. I haven’t told you before but I’m being sent over in a couple months to replace Statson who's being sent to Berlin . . .” Whitney stared at him, her eyes frowning. She said: “Oh, no, Todl You can’t go to Paris! I mean, you can’t go there permanently . . Tod said: "Oh, yes, I can. In fact I want to .." “Yes,” said Whitney, “I suppose you do. I suppose it’s a fine opportunity for you. You have become an important newspaperman, haven’t you, darling?” “I don’t know about that. But I seem to get along well enough and I’ve no particular desire to spend next winter in New York.” “It seems a little strange to think you came here really because I asked you to . . . you've never been sorry, have you?” “Oh, no, I’ve never been sorry. I’ve come along nicely, thank you.” “Well, you would have in Boston too, probably. Listen, Tod, you won’t let them send you across until after I’m married, will you?” “It depends on when . , . on how soon you are planning . . “In about five weeks. As soon as we can. You see, there’s no sense in waiting . . “No sense at all." “But you have to be here, Tod. Promise me you will .” But he didn't promise. Even then he knew he would not be in Boston in June when Whitney was married to Scott. She wasn’t supposed to go out for a week. The doctor had said: "And I wouldn’t advise any dancing for at least a fortnight You have been very ill and this disease is treacherous It has away of sneaking back on a person . . But Scott said: “Darling, I have come all the way from Boston just to take you dancing. And you are looking marvelous. You are looking absolutely well and that is much too beautiful a dress to wasta on just a quiet dinner at home.’’ It was a beautiful dress. Pale gray chiffon with a swirling, mistlike skirt and a red velvet bow at the deep-curved bodice. She had bought it hoping he would think she looked lovely in it. And ho did think so. He was looking at her with that old, excited look in his eyes. She felt her pulses stir. Her heart began to beat faster beneath that dark red velvet bow. The old electrical attraction leaped up between them suddenly and stilled the words that were almost on her lips. . No need to tell him that she was not as fit as she looked. That she had spent all day having a facial and a finger wave and resting and putting her make-up on carefully and dressing in this exquisite frock so that he should not see her looking anything but beautiful. No need to tell him that an evening spent dancing with him was more than she could stand quite so soon. When, if she did tell him that, he would undoubtedly be bored at the idea of sitting at home quietly with her. She didn’t want him to.be bored. She wanted him to be gay and ardent and completely her lover as he had been once She wanted to feel as he had once made her feel . . . lovely looking and desirable and young. She had to feel that way .. it was desperately important that she should. It had been so long since she had He put his arms around her suddenly, crushing the red velvet bow, kissing her mouth, long and exploringly. He said: “I’ll take beautiful care of you, sweet. Just a cocktail or two and one small dance some-

’ where high on a roof where it’s cool and there's smooth music. Darling, it has been so long sines we’ve gone dancing together . . “Yes,” said Whitney, “it has beet. It’s been too long. Let's go, Scott...” The doctcw said: “But I warned her not to go out. .. not to overdo. I thought you both understood.” Tod said: “Yes, I know. But how much damage has been done?” The older man shrugged. “These relapses are difficult things. Not critical, you understand, just mean. She’s probably delayed a complete recovery by several weeks. Has she relatives somewhere?” ‘Wes,” said Tod. “That is, she has an aunt in Boston.” “Well, I should advise that she go to her by all means.” The doctor’s round brown eyes behind the lenses of his spectacles looked relieved. “Living alone in this apartment is bad for her. Yes, by all means, I should advise that she go to Boston. She tells me that she is to be married soon. May I congratulate you? She is a fine girl.” “Sorry, but I’m not the lucky man. It’s my cousin, Scott Prentice, that she is marrying.” The doctor looked surprised. A little disappointed. He said: “That’s too bad. I was sure it was you. And I was glad because it seemed such a happy match ... I mean you seemed suited to each other . . .” “Thanks.” Tod’s voice was curt. “I hope I haven’t offended you. 1 didn’t mean to intrude.” “Os course not. I understand.” The doctor turned away looking a little hurt. Tod thought: “I’m an ungracious ass ... he was only trying to be a little decent and human and I made him feel uncomfortable and embarrassed ..." He walked with him to the door and shook hands and said good-by. Then he went back into the bedroom. Whitney said: “Well, how long do I have to stay in bed? He wouldn’t teil me.” “He thinks you ought not to stay here alone.” “But I’m not ill enough to go back to the hospital...” Weak protest in Wkitney’s voice. “No. He wants you to go to Boston. I think you should too.” Yes, I think you should go to Boston. You look very sweet sitting up in bed in that pink silk bed jacket with your hair all mussed up like a little girl’s. You look very sweet and helpless with your cheeks flushed like that but I stiil think you should go to Boston. Then Scott can see you every day and I can never see you. But that’s all right too. That’s the way it should be. It’s Scott you want and not me. Well, go to Boston then. Go tonight I’ll help you pack and put you on the train. I’ll say good-by to you again. But this time will be the last time . . . He said again: “I think you should go.” She said: "All right, I’ll go Tod. But I’U miss you.” So you will miss me? For how long? For a few days perhaps. I’ve been nice to have around. Nice and comfortable. Like an old pair of shoes. Sure, you’ll miss me. But not the way I’ll miss you. Not so much that you won’t be able to eat or sleep or even think coherently. You won’t miss me that way, Whit . . . you won’t miss me the way you once missed Scott.. . but that’s the way I’ll miss you, darling, that’s the way I’ll miss you. He said: "I shouldn’t be here anyhow . . . I’m being sent to Kansas , City." She said: ‘When do you go to Paris?” “I’m not sure of the actual date. Sometime next Month ...”

She leaned forward, her arms hugging her knees where they madi a little pyramid beneath the covers. “Remember you're not to go until after my wedding. You promised, Tod .. . M He grinned at her and said: “Better take some decent care of yourself if you want to look like any sort of bride ~ .* He didn’t remind her that he had promised her nothing. — They drove out to Charles River Village through a warm lilac dusk shot with gold. Whitney had taken off her soft panama hat and was holding it in her hands and the wind was streaking her hair back from her face, lifting it away from her ears. In the lunible seat there was a wicker basket packed neatly with cold chicken and coffee in a thermos and chocolate cake and all the odds and ends that go to make a picnic lunch. Scott glanced at her and then back at the road again. He was driving fifty miles an hour and his hands on the wheel seemed negligent but he was really a cautious driver. He said: “I don’t see why you wanted to come out here ... it would have been more fun dining in town and going on to Fay and Butch’s dance...” Whitney slid the brim of the panama hat back and forth between her fingers. It felt cool and smooth and flexible and the wind, even though it was a warm afternoon, felt cold against her uncovered ears. She said, imperturbably: “I like picnics. If you don’t you’d better get used to liking them ...’’ “Very well. From now on I shall adore picnics." Scott’s lips flew apart in a white, even smile. It was only the last week in May but he was already burned a good dark brown. It made his hair look bleached and his eyes look more brilliantly blue than ever. Whitney looked at him thoughtfully for a minute, then she said: “No, you won’t. And in almost no time at all you will have convinced me that I don’t adore them either and we shall dine in town in our best clothes and never get to eat chicken sandwiches in the open.” “So long as I don’t have to broil a steak.” » “I’d know better than to ask yffit to do that. It was always Tod who built the fire and burned his hands and got smoke in his eyes. You were always off discovering a new cave or something ..." “I never liked grubby jobs even as a kid. And Tod didn't mind. He was delighted to be allowed to tag along.” “I’ve written him three times about the wedding ... he hasn’t answered any of my letters.” “Probably hasn’t got them ... he’s in Kansas City or somewhere, isn’t he?” “Yes. But it’s not like him not to write.” “Oh, well, don’t worry about it ... he’ll show up, all right.” “If he doesn’t there won’t be any i wedding . . .” ■ “See here, it’s me you’re marry- ' ing ... not my cousin." ' Whitney sad, a fine frown puck- , ering her eyebrows: “That’s why I , wanted to come out here tn the farm, tonight. I thought Matthews might ’ have heard from him . . .’’ , But when they arrived at the , farm, Matthews had gone into town to the movies. They unpacked the wicker basket on the steps of the old . house. In the June twilight the place seemed quiet and tranquil with its ( sloping meadows and ancient apple trees and shuttered windows.
