CHAPTER EIGHTEEN DICK swelled a Uttto under Jenny's indirect praise, and soon thereafter offered to go to bed. "I ■'gW'W’gW/Sp' early: Pete'# going ' to take me over to the high school here." If she was surprised at his calling tus father " Pete," she did aot show K. “The high school is quite a Jaunt from here. The township is large and Green Ridge pupils have to go to Ackroy. But it’s a good school, 1 understand.* His faee was back in the sullen mask again. "Prob'ly some hick Joint,* be muttered, and left the room. “Good night!* Jenny called. But be did not answer. Natalie turned to her sister with a worried air. "Is be going to be difficult, do you think? He seems so cold and rude.* "Ho isn't, though,” Jenny said, remembering the lonely figure outside the Torres house on the dark street. 'He's neither difficult, nor cold, nor rude. He’s simply unhappy. poor kid." Brent had a preposition for the two girls. “Look," he said, "1 can start hunting for a studio right away, or I can stay on here. And 1 don’t mind telling you I’d rather stay here, if you'll have me.* Natalie twinkled. "Il's mutual,* she said.' “You’re really quite a comfort, Brent. I find I work better with a little company in the studio. And besides. I'll soon be going in to New York to the museum and rustling around for new ideas, and you ean have it to yourself for a good part of the next two weeks. Also,* she added j frankly, “we can use the forty dollars very well.” So It was settled that Brent would stay. Now that be knew be had the Job, he was working very bard on his paintings for the bus company series. Almost every day bls models arrived at the ' studio door—young, brawny men to poae as farmers or fishermen or factory workers: middle-aged wianen of the bousewtfejy type: young girls, pert, or pretty, or serious looking: elderly men with , watery blue eyes and gnarled, misshape* handa. ft was like Bvtag in the old days, Jenny thought bappiriy.

Jenny had asked Dick how be liked the school when, he returned after his first day. "AU right," ne had answered briefly, and would not enlarge on thia Jenny sensed that things were not “all right" and made an excuse to run over to the Torres' that sftemoon. She was shocked at Elsa’s paßor and look of near exhaustion. "Here, sit down with me a few minutes." she said. “I'm as good an excuse u you’ll get to stop work, so make use of me. And teß me about your trip home with Dick." she had added. Elsa sank down with a sigh of complete weariness "Isn't it queer," she said meditatively, "how you can go along m a comfortable rut for years and years, with never a thought of change, and then from one minute to the next your whcle life is altered? That's What happened to Pete and me when we got the letter about Dick. From that moment on. we have been tearing around, working like a couple of madmen, and worried siek, to boot. If 1 thought this sort of thing were going to last. I d go out and jump in the Sound!" Jenny laughed. "Your bark Is worse than your bite. And Tve known you to tear around' before when you had a big order for one of your Westport clients that bad to lie done in a jiffy." Elsa sniffed. 'That wasn't work," she protested; 'that was doing what I like to do. And besides,'' she Mid seriously. "I've always been able to be independent la my designing. U I didn’t test tike rushing. I could simply turn the order down. And 1 often did. But you can't take on a fourteen-year-old boy one week, and toes him out the next, simply because you don’t feel like having him around. No, this to different. This is a job that 1 caa see stretching ahead of me for ' yeses snd years And. Jenny, I’m frightened." "FHgMeneß? Why?" "I feol so inadequate. What do I know about boys? I was aa oaly child.. I never knew boys except aa 'dates.' I don't know anything about them. reaßy* Jenny said. wHb a confldcnee that wa« largely assumed, “All you have to remember is that they're hi.man." But Elsa stipok her heads "Human? Sometimn 1 doubt it If you could have seen a couple of the displays Dick put on when we were earning home, the scenes be made in putic. the—the horndness of him!

You were probably asleep when she came. Some ungodly late train, nearly midnight, because she missed the one she should have taken from Grand Central And. of course.

Wbca ne went off to. bed. she breathed a sigh of relief, and it was not until then that ane thought again ot Faith Owen and her touting mother-in-law. Natalie and Gary were out at. the movies, so she threw on a coat! and ran next door. Faith was very bsppy to see her. “Jenny, how nice! Oonie rigM in. You must meet Mother Owen. Mother, this Is my very good neighbor, Genevieve Mayhew." Jenny laughed. “I've practically torgoltoa that that la my name." she explained. “Everyone simply calls me Jenny. AM I like It better, somehow. I'm afraid I’d have to develop a little glamour to live up to Genevieve.* " Mrs. Owen was a rather tan woman with dark bair just beginning to turn grey/ and a peering air. “Stu's near-sighted,* Faith explained later, "but she won't wear glasses" ■So you're Jenny,* she Mid now, taking Jenny'S haM in her own. "Faith says you're a fine bttle housewife, and 1 believe 1 am indebted to you for the splendid eoffee cake recipe she sent me.* She asked, without any transition whatever, "I suppose you know this Max Lord, who was a friend of my son's?" ‘Yes, very wen,* Jenny Mid. with what calmness she could muster. The attack had been so sudden. "He to a fnend ot our family*. and we see btm often. You kill like him." Eke was glad she could say Uua last with assurance, end the older woman nodded once er twice, as if an opinion of ber own kM been confirmed. Tve met him.* she declared. “And I do like him. Faith, you must ask Mm over-frequentiy while I am here, ao that 1 can talk to him about Ken.* Faith paled a little, and Jenny felt for her. Bhe foresaw how difficult it would be for Faith add Max to be together under this womaa-s ehMi vauun. white tketr entire talk must be about the dead hian whose place Max was hoping to fill. It would have been a difficult situation ta ally case, but this •night well prove disastrous She »»id hurriedly, "How long are you Staying?* and then blushed furleusly, hoping it ffidn't sound as ts she were trying to lurry Mrs. Owen away from Green iddge. "1 don't know. I haven't decided. Perhaps until Thanksgiving. But long enough to get well acquainted with Olis Uttle town, aad with Faith’s neighbors and friends. This I Is my first etott here. you know." Jenny went bdene soon after, to ( go to bed and sleep uneasily that night.

When Jenny went upstairs to make the "beds, she found Natalie in her room "Why, Nat!" she exclaimed. "Coing to take a day off? You need it; you’ve been working hard.** "Yes, I need It* Natalie’s voice was tense, her manner Jerky. "I thought I'd go over my clothes this morning. I—l'm going to New York lor a few days. Jenny. I telephoned Eleanor this morning, and she said she eould put me up." Jenny, straightening the sheets, did not look up. "Going to do some research? Or going on a binge?" she asked. "Both, 4 suppose. I want to look over some things at the Metro polltan. And I want to have some Jenny glanced at her sister with s humorous smile. "You don't sound aa if you were in the right mood toe R." she chuckled. "Downright belligerent!" But Natalie's face, to her astonishment, erumpled a Uttle. "I m not ia the mood lor R." she admitted. "I’m not in the mood for anything decent. After last night!" At once Jenny sensed that s'xncthlng serious underlay h*r words "Did yon and Gary quarrel ?" "Oh, no! Not even an angry ward!" Natahe exploded. "That's just K. He has about as muchm much gumption aa a—a je"y•ah. and 1 never want to see tom agstn." Jenny Ml down abruptly. Her knees fell weak.

By three o'clock, Jenny was ting alone m the house. It lelt strangely empty ano uncomfortably silent. The school bus would not bring Dick home for another three-quarters ot an nour. and Jenny set hersetf to rearrange her , menu. The meal sne nad planned tor tonight would nave to be changed, now that there wouid be only Dick and herself. And then she said to her sett, "Why not ask ' Pet* and Elm?
