CHAPTER XXn It was daylight when Edward came in. Marie whispered, “Oh, Ed ward-what REALLY happened? Ive been so worried—and about you too—yon were so late—" He was pulling his clothes off. flinging them on the ehair nt the side of the bed, and he was in no mood to talk. "Must we talk now? Hasn't there been enough talk?" "But I’ve been so frightened and worried—" "Nothing to worry about I got la a little game, and stayed later than I intended. Came home and got here at the tail end of the mob scene. I could hear you way down at the corner.” "Me? I didn't say anything!" "Oh, all of you I mean. Boe. and Pop. Why she has to neek tn the front yard, under the window, with the whole wide world—” "Edward, Bee said that ho wns proposing to her!” Edward whistled. " Gee whist I didn’t think he had that kind of intentions. Well, that's good." He kissed her. “Goodnight — aleep tight!" “Sleep! After aH that? Sleep! EDWARD—how ean you?" “How ean 1 what?" “SLEEP! After that horrible ex-Ferience-screaming end yelling end Bee having hysterics—" He turned over. "Don’t exaggerate. It was a first class family fight, but every family has them. Nothfa* to lie awake over." "Nothing to lie awake over! And every family has them! Edward! Never in my life have 1 heard anything Mke it! Why. we NEVER FOUGHT! We never called each other names. Nice people dent—it just isn't—" • Edward said, “We!!, we won't go toto it. I'm going to sleep. And if I had a mother with a temper like yours, I wouldn't get into comparisons. GOOD NIGHT!” Everyone but Edward was up at ? nest morning. Mr. Wilson's band shook as he reached for his coffee cup. but he looked as usual, hair neatly brushed, shoes radiating blackness like a freshly shined stove, the usual rose bod in his buttonhole. Mrs. Wilson's downcast eyes were deeply circled, but she moved briskly, competently, about the kitehen. Her voice as she called Bee was perfectly natural: "It's quarter to eight. Everything’s ready!" Marie put a plate of buttered toast on the table, handed her father-in-law his boiled egga, took away the sauce dish full of prune pits. Bee came to the breakfast nook in the kitchen wearing h«r hat, as she always did. She dropped bag and gloves on a vacant ehair. She. too, looked just as usual. Tall, slender, wearing her inexpensive suit with an air of distinction—hat on at just the right angle, softly waved fair hair curling under the brim—a feminine version of Edward. "No, thanks, no toast," she said crisply. "Just my orangs juice and coffee. Black, Mom—black! NO CREAM!" Mrs. Wilson grumbled about peopls who denied themselves proper nourishment to keep thin. Mr. Wileon carefully folded the outside section of the paper (he always left the women's pages, with the ads, for his wife) and put It Into his pocket "Getting late," he called to Bee. “Werner's down to the corner already." Bee glanced at her wrist Watch. “He’s early—unless my watch is slow."

She gathered up her things- “Finish your coffee,” her sstdbir boned, mjdjnt a bite of timet, dear just a bite—to please ma." "No time. Sorry—ls Werner's at *** **•*■’• ahnoot here. 11l have to run now. ’Bye!" She was gone, leaving a trad of 'Christinas night” behind her. Marie drank her coffee, finished her toast. She looked again at Mrs. *" " * Am *~*ampMa|w-*MB? she won iered. DM I dream it? But she didn’t dream tt. At the -tinner table that night nerves were strained, answers sharp. For ones Bee announced her intention of not KoitW oat "Gcfng to catch ap on my beauty sleep," she said. "I could do with a little sleep, too," Edward said. "But you didn't get up till ten! You had more than anyone,” his mother cried, “and I want to take a book beck to the library! I mean, the main library down town! It's one I got to look up cathedrals, for the Tuesday club and it’s overdue now.” "We might just drive over,” Mane suggested. "It wouldn't take long. Edward." After a day in the house she was anxious to bo out if only for a few momenta, “Well—" Mr*. Wilson said grudgingly-"! did think that Eddie »nd I could just hurry over, but if you want to eome Mana, and Eddie wants to drive us—" Eddie yawned. “Oh, all right all right. Get your hate on. girls!” Mrs. Wilson hesitated. “I did think I'd do the dishes first—" “Not if yoa want me to drive "Maybe I’d better stay and wash them," Marie suggested, doubtfully. “Oh, come on." Edward Mid, "you know you don’t want to. Want to come for a ride. Pop?" It waa the Arst time since he put up half the money for the car he'd never learned to drive, that he'd given up the chance to go for a ride. It waa Edward's joke that he'd ride up and down the block la front of the house ks no one suggested taking him anywhere else. "Wonder what's the matter with Pop," Edward said, as they started down the street No one knew, and no one seemed much interested. Mrs. Wilson brought back her book on cathedrals, and took out one on Westminster abbey that every one, including herself, knew abed never read. "Wonder what got into Pop," Edward said again "I think he wants to speak to Boe,” his mother Mid, primly. "About what?" Mrs. Wilson looked toward Marie, the "stranger," and said in a low voice. “He did My last night that be planned to see Ritchie Huntsman today.” "Oh, my Lord!” Edward said, and stepped on the gas. Marte bold tight to her hat. She didn't know exactly what it was all about, but it wm plain that poor Mr. Wilson,was just stirring up more trouble with Bee. and there'd be another fight on when they got back. But she waa wrong. It was over. The living room was very quiet when they earns in. Mr. Wilson Mt in his favorite chair, holding the newspaper up before him. Hla thin old face was a dull purplish color, and be looked like a sick man. "Claude,” his wife Mid, "Claude - you didn't—have words with Bee ?" Mario started upstairs, but half i way up she met Bee coming down. "Come," Bee Mid, "you heard the

rated that 1.3M.388 persons died last year. The previous low reported since the census bureau started collecting death stat let ice on a national ibasla In 1300 was 10.7 in 1333.

"Pop went to Ritchie f Huntsman's bank today. He's just told me. You can imagine how 1 Ritchie felt about that." i Mr. Wilson began to bluster. "He i made it ctear how he felt! He Mid no word of marriage was ever imagine how I felt, to know my » daughter was a Bar, for much as I i hated to admit it, I mw he was telL » ing the truth!" i Bee let him finish. She was comi pletely calm, and mistress of herself. She just looked white, and , drained—drained of everything—drained of blood, and life, and hope I and pride. i “He was telling the truth." she i said calmly. "Pop is right—l lied , last night, but I was just trying to i mvo bis feelings, a little petting ' seemed to upset him so. I was tryi ing to be kind, I guess. I don't know what I was doing. I can just stand so much and—” ' "Now, Bee—dent get excited again,” Mrs. Wilson begged You know Papa didn't mean anythin*!" Bee let her finish, too. She smiled wanly at her mother. “I dent even care whether he did or not. I'm Just trying to tell you that I'm through. The worm has turned. You ean shoot tin you're blue in the face, all of you, but I'm tearing. I’m leaving on the first." ’Tearing," her mother said. "Really, Bee," Edward began. The paper in Mr Wilson’s hands shook like a leaf ia the wind, but ho said uothing. “And I’d like to know,” Bee went on, feeing her father hidden behind his paper, “whether you’d like to buy my interest in the ear. or whether you'd like me to buy yours?" • • • flie long day limped on. Mrs. Wilson took down al) the eurtams, took up all the rug. With her sleeve, rolled up. and a pair of Mr. Wilson's old slippers on her feet, her head tied up in a towel, she worked like a slave, refusing any nelp from Marie. Mario walked to the branch library and Mt there, looking at magazines, feeling like a backslider and a cheat. Edward had gone to Orinda with Press Hackett. Something about a job. But be took his golf clubs just the Mme. She turned the pages of magazines, tried to concentrate And alt •he could sm waa Bee's whit*, drawn face. The others didn't seem to see how Mt. Hw mother and father were completely callous to it What was the master with them? Had they forgotten what it was to be in iove? Edward was almost ss bad. He saM: "It’ll be the best thing for bee if that's the end of her affair wit? Ritchie. He’s too fast for her. Hell never settle down ard marry like she wants. What ia she mooing about, anyway? She a got a ssseH job, lots of friends. She's much bet- : ter off single than sbe*U be mar- ' ried.” ’ sX’Jf And ho Mid: “Yes—that’s what make* all the trouble. Dam fools!"
