CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN Erinda stabbed blindly. Swift as a cat, Vaslav slipped just far enough to let the blade go by, then seized her wrist. "Drop it at once, please, or I 1 shall have to hurt you!" The dagger struck the floor and Vaslav picked it up . . . sent it spinning into a corner. "You ! really would have stabbed me, 1 i believe!" I He folded his arms, contemplating her sadly. “And that in spite of my saving your life three times! Most ungrateful, to say the least." "Saved my life? ' Brinda looked her disbelief. "What do you mean?" “Never mind; it isn't important i Perhaps 1 shall tell you some day.” Opening a delicately carved ivory ease, he proffered a cigarette. She declined. With a shrug, he lit one himself. ' Well—l am sorry.” "That you saved my life?” "That I irritated you to the point of trying to take mine ... Can you ■ forgive me?" Was he making fun of her? Brinda searched his countenance but found no trace of mockery. Without asking, she guessed that he would not oppose her now if she cho.c to leave. And that belief—the sudden transition from danger to security, coupled with the violent emotions she had just experienced made her fed suddenly faint. She swayed, dung to a chair for support. Vaslav was at her side In s flash. Strange, broken, pa. sionqte words of endearment and self-reproach poured from him as he lifted her gently, placing her on the wide lounge. She became aware that he was kneeling, anxiously imploring her pardon. She had the sense of watching • play; a play she felt now she eould safely too through to the end. Phase, Vaslav, get up!” He comi plied Instantly. “No, don’t stand . . . sit there . . . Now ull me. Just what is this about? I really think I have the right tc know.” He appeared to meditate for a moment, his eyes fixed beyond her. He nodded. “Yes, that is true. But—for one I reason only. Because—l love you! i *' ve , t (ni lr,y word ‘"at 1 this is true—l have loved you from the first time we danced together— i no woman has meant much to me before—l shall never love any other i woman again!” His tone was vibrant with feeling. “And you may . know I am not lying, because I say i this realizing that you, of all women, do not love me." His eyes 1 J J*!’ t c^,l! er • u <M«»ly. “That’s true, , 1 he exclaimed. “Why v«a t you run that knife to msl” Ke i

stared at her with despairing eyes. "It’s curious . . . until tonight, 1 somehow fancied 1 was making progress." His tone was bitter. "Tell me, my beautiful, what is it? Why, of all women, should you be the one 1 cannot possess?" What should she say? Os course it would be easy to tell him she was in love with Dick. But that would not help her learn the things she had to know. “Perhaps,” she said softly, after a moment of thought, “it is because you arc so mysterious . . . well, frankly, because 1 don’t really know you—l can't explain, but you seem to be like this house—full of strange, surprising secrete.” He nodded gravely. “That is understandable, my dear. But if that is all, it can easily be remedied.” "It can?" “Certainly." He apread his hands in a gesture of helplessness"l shall simply tell you my secrete. What would you like to know? When I fell in love with you? It was the first time I saw you. At Mountwyn's.” “Please!" Brinda broke in. "I mean your real secrete. For example, what did you mean when you said you had saved my life?" Vaslav blew a meditative smoke ring. "That is somewhat involved, my love. Ob, have no doubt—l shall tell you I But it is a so complicated matter that perhaps we might better put it off until another time. After the ballet, say . . “The ballet?” Bhe wondered at his assurance. Sull, having gone so far, why should she draw baek now? Especially with the end of her quest in sight. “Yes," she said. “After the ballet.” Vaslav’s glance swept her possessively. “I am afraid, my sweet, that I shall have great diHculty in keeping my mind on the performance. But I shall do my beet. Meanwhile ... please give me some hope." She shook her head. “I don’t know. Stick to your bargain. After the ballet... well see.” Brinda arose, suddenly weary of her surroundings, desperately ea5 r to be safely home and tucked tween cool, calming sheets. She had little personal fear of Vaslav now; yet she was deeply relieved when, at last, she found herself again jn the wide low ta hall. Never sgato would she enter the hidden ■ levator, nor tnikt hargelf in that strangely disturbing room. It seemed years since tie end of the rehearsal, and she realized with a start that it wee actually vary iunJiS’S Ji
