CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT I *'Tt>U CANT take money from t Dennis, Andrea Barnes!’’ Beth's whole body was tense with anger. < "Andrea Ronald,' Andrea corrected. “And I don't think I asked ( you what I could or couldn't do. If , you have something evil In your mind, you are quite wrong." | Beth was sick with anger. An- ( drea had no right to try to put her ( on the defensive by pretending to j think she had "something evil" on , her mind. , "You can't borrow money because you don't know that you'u ever be able to pay it back, and you can't take it as a gift Dennis is no friend of the family, no uncle in your life." "Really," Andrea said coldly, "I can't see that it's any of your business what Dennis la to me. Or iait?" Beth turned her back with deliberate dignity. Andrea took a lower tone. 'Til have to do it, Beth, because I got fired today. It wasn't much of an old job anyway." Beth turned around slowly. “No, it wasn't much, but it did pay your board and room rent” “That's just it, darling. I knew you'd see it. What am I going to use now for money ?’• “Hiere'e the money I have—’ “Our three hundred? Oh, no. we must keep that Suppose I didn't Ct my money by June. I'd have to ve It then. There’s only one thing. Beth, I’m sure you’ll see it as I da" "I'm sure I won’t!” Beth retortad. "Did Dennis oSe. you money, or did you ask for it?” Andrea opened her mouth to deny that she'd asked for it, but the look in Beth's eye warned her that lying would not get her anywhere.

It was only occasionally that Beth showed spir- * it. but when she did Andrea had * reason to be wary of it She decided on candor. "It was this way, Beth. Dennis < was telling me about his seeing a . lawyer to see what he could find , out about my insurance and he . said if there were any incidental . expenses . . .’’ “Board and room rent are not . incidental expenses," Beth pointed , out. 1 “Anyway, he thinks it may bo , settled soon.

I can pay Dennis every penny I d borrow, and give you back your three hundred, and get some decent clothee so"—her voice became pious—"l could get myself a good government job, and a nice English pram for the baby." Beth was flabbergasted. "Are you really as dumb as you pretend to be? Don'J you realise that you'll have to use every penny of your money sparingly? That it will have to be your rock and protection against the unexpected things that can happen, liks a child’s iU1 aess, or his education?" "I never. I never, I never saw such a kill-joy in. all my life!" An- ' drea moaned. "Do you honestly think that you can ever earn enough to support ' your child in any fashion?” ; "Yes," Andrea said calmly. "If r you call making a career of mar- ' rtage. Beth, 1... I don’t want to get married in a hurry, and 111 ai- ’ ways love Jim, but there’s no reason why I shouldn’t plan to mar--1 ry again, is there?" 1 "No," Beth said begrudgingly, » "but husbands aren’t easy to get when you have a young baby.
