CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN “Or maybe it’s more than a game now — it’s become the lifework?’’ persisted Kitty. Charlee smiled. “Perhaps It’s somewhere between the two—more than a game, but not quite a lifework yet. You know, when I first took over the job it was with all kinds of reluctance — because I’d been more or less jockeyed into it by the family crying out to be saved. Well, that was the idea, originallyto save ’em and then be off quick, before they needed more saving. Rainier’s was just something that kept the family going, and I didn’t respect it enormously for that. But ■ then, when I began to look Into things personally, I found it kept a good many other families going. Over three thousand, to be precise." “1 see. Responsibility. Uncle Atlas* “You ean laugh at me if you like, provided you believe me sincere. I'm not a sentimentalist 1 don’t call the firm the House of Rainier, or myself a Captain of Industry, or any of that nonsense. But there is a responsibility, no use denying it in owning a three-thousand-family business. If I can contrive a little security for those people—* “But there U*‘l any security—as you said yourself when 1 asked yon about your thousand a year. It's an illusion put up by banks and insure anee companies and lawyers and building societies and everybody who goes without what he wants today because he thinks he’ll enjoy it more later on. Supposing some day we all find out there isn’t any ‘later on'!” “Then, my dear, will come Wai’s revolution." “And wo shall all make a grab for what we can get!” “Provided there it anything to get by then. If the whole thing’s an illusion, then the rewards may fade equally.* “Then you try to comfort those three thousand families by encouraging them to believe in a future that doesn’t exist?” “They don’t believe in it Every street-corner speaker warns them not to at the top of his voice. What I do comfort them with, since you put it that way, Is enough of a regular wage to buy food and pay their rent and smoke cigarettes and go to the local elnema. That keeps them satisfied to go on waiting.* “For the big grab?" "Or for the discovery that there Isn’t anything left to grab.” “Which makes you one degree more cynical than they are. They don’t believe in the security they accept because they’re looking to the revolution, but you don’t believe in either the security of the preoent or the revolution of the futurel” “Your other ex-fiaacd put ft even more simply, my dear, when he said I didn t believe in a deuced thing." Well, don't you?” asked Kitty. "That’s what I’ve been asking myself very carefully and for a long time, and I still can’t find an answer.* “Probably because you’ve been asking H too long and too carefully. The answer to that sort of question ought to By out-like a child when • mW what ho wants for bis “ rthd *r—always knows hufsntly without having to think-eithor • bicycle or i toy train or eotneJust talking to you freely like this makes the difference, though you don’t talk to me freely—there always seems a brake on—l ean hardly believe you once eent me those totters.” "Curious—l doe‘t remember eourse I know why you were o-free la them because you thought I to* yuuug to understand.

A gleam came into bis eyes. “Whst on earth are you talking about?" "Well, what more could I have been in those days? Letters to a schoolgirl.... Os course 1 was crasy about you—always have been ever since that time at Stourton when I came up to your room and smoked a cigarette. Remember? ... It might be fun if you loved me now—we’d have a good deal in common. I s<i me times wonder why you don’t" “In my slow and careful way I’ve been wondering that too—ever since you stepped off the train." "Well, why don’t you—just to be curious?" “I haven’t said I don’t* "Oh nol" “Would It be so very Incredible?* “It would be fantattiel” "Then It it fantastic.” “Darling, you don’t mean—* She seised his hand across the table. “You’re not spying It jut to be kind?" “I don’t fret a bit kind. I feelwell. let's stick to fantastic.* “But I—l—l don’t know what else to say for the moment” “You don’t have to say anything.* They sat in silence, his hsnd changing places over hers. A train entered the station opposite: the tick of its electric engine ras like a clock measuring the seconds. Presently she said: “There’s the oddest thing in my mind for us to do—if it's all real and not a dream. Let’s go down the Danube in a canoe, as you always wanted." “Yes, well do that And up the Amazon too, If you like." His face was very pale, ‘ill take a year off —from the firm and the City and the three thousand families and everything else. Ixrt someone else have his turn... .* At hoM that night, Charles eould hardly believe in the ehanged future: it was almost as if ho had been another person during the day and was now perusing with amazement a report of what had happened to someone else. He was not regretful—far from it—but a little bemused at so many decisions made all at once, somewhat startled that they must all have been hi. own, ret ready to accept them with a loyalty that might wall become more enthusiastic when he had bad a chance to think them over. At breakfast he compared notes and found that Kitty’s emotions had been siinilar, only m far as a douM as to whether he eould really have meant what he said enough to go on meaning it Charles assured her laughingly that he had and did. and immediately happiness biased aeroes the rolls and honuy between them as they planned the trivial detafle of the day. The future was tolll fantastic to talk about, oven to think about, and they agreed for the time being not to give themselves the even heavier task of explaining It to others.
