CHAPTER {SEVENTEEN PETE continued the itory of what the legal staff of Donna s, father had done: “Someone in your father’s legal circus must have known hbw young girls think." " i ' Pete quoted it without, expression: “Please take the money and go away and get well, Pete, dear. 'I want you to for my sake, I’d like to feel that when you're yourself again, you'll find a girlwho’s really suitable for you, someone who’ll make you nappy, then you won’t hate me any more. 1 wish you well, Pete, I really do. I have my baby, so I’h neve* quite forget you, but I think it’s mucfi better that we never see) each other again." . T never said\ it.” Donna's voice was hard and cold. “I * swear I never said it.” ' , T ought to have asked tor it In writing/’ said Pete bitterly, "but there was probably someone in that bunch of hired toads who wouldn't have been above a neat

little game of forgery—at a price. Anyway, I m your sentiments. 1 signed over the baby (after all, 1 was in no condition then to dig ditches to support him!), took the three thousand dollars as a. sort of loan—that was the way your father put it to save mv pride—from my son, who was goihg to be such a rich kid some day. Then I went up to Saranac to \gbt well.'” , “Two years,” she remembered suddenly, with horror. \ "It took two long years.” “That was because I reacted so badjly to being a vegetable, a' hulk likdf me lying m a bed on a sleeping, porch all day!

She was sitting motionless, like a wax statue in her chair: theife was no life in her except \in her wide, desperate eyes.

“Does the old lady keep any wine or brandy here?” asked Pete quickly. "Yoji need a drink, baby.” ”Sb 4 keeps it in the kitchen cupboard,” said Donna. In" a moment Pete brought a small glass of brandy. “Here,” he said, holdirig the glass to her lips. Slowly a faint color crept back into her face. "There's a parents’ tea at Toby’s school tomorrow," she said in a low voice. "Will yoix go to it ,with me, Pete, and (let mfe* be the one to introduce Toby to his father?” / He hesitated, '"Believe me, I wasn’t trying to hurt you. 1 don’t want to hurt you now,” he said uncertainly. “You .won’t be. 1 acknowledge your claim, that’s all, Pete. You’ve made me ashamed ot my blind ignorance. 1, know now that it’s right tor Toby to see you.” "Thank you, Donna. You’re being generous.” He continued to pace the room, his troubled. “Book here; it.’s none of my business, biit you spoke of being pushed into your preserit life—,

Scarcely of het own volition, she. stood and polled the stiff, wary firms of tne sbldirir about her. “I've oved only one man my whole life, Pete,” she-Whispered, her upturned face bliiidly seeking. "1 bore turn a child. 1* never wanted to do that tor any other. I was. never willing, deep in nij* heart, to love anyone else." ? For’ an eternity of seconds, his mouth did not relent.

She said -it tor us. It's all there is to say.” “1 don’t like your going pack,” said Pete stubbornly, his face suddenly grim. "Slinking like a thief into /its room."

As they left the chalet they didn’t see Karl leaning against the trunk of a towering fir, and wouldn’t' have cared if they had. They walked down-the road with their arms about each other.

Ot all the departures, that of the Prmcipessa di MerUcci was the most mysterious. Guido naa left, some said to look after ms/ vineyards. But Donna hadn't beeh seen at the station at aIL It seemed incredible that she could have gotten away unnoticed. There was a rumor that she had tallep for a soldier she had picked up at a bar, not a G1 exactly, but an American major. Old regulars, who nad frequented the same resorts as Donna for a tong time, scoffed at the idea of hei actually divorcing Guido and marrying this nobody. Everyone knew he had gone back to his|job in Frankfurt. As for Donna's marrying him. it was obvious she wouldn’t stick five minutes with any man who worked. It was a full-time Job just trailing after her on her usual circuits, Marcia had listened to the gossip about Donna with blank eyes. She had never added a crumb to it, though people Knew she had been on the party the night Donna met the soldier and were sure she must nave seen something. The waiter brought in the champagne Frank Reilly had ordered for .toasting the New Year. Tim laced his fingers in Marcia’s. “Does starting a new year in Europe make you homesick?” he asked her softly. "No, because from now I on whenever you are will be home." She had written her resignation from her in London and would go back only to help out until she was replaced. As the' champagne was poured and the men checked their watches, Enid Reilly said thoughtfully, “There's so much to toast besides the. New Year. There’s your mar* nage, and our goihg home, with our -mily—because I know in my heart we ll find the children this year—we must!" Nothing Tim had told her of the disheartening aspects ot, adopting war orphans had entirely discouraged her. He had explained that most -ot the children were repatriated to their own /countries by international agreement and were not available to American families, and he had warned her that though her plan was not impossible, it would take a long period of effort and search. ’ In y answer to her bewilderment, Timl had said, "Europe needs its youth to strengthen and revive itself*! Only in rare, isolated cases are individual children ever offered for adoption. I’ll give you the names of the private agencies who do the casework we don’t attempt. The 1.R.0. only repatriates children in mass groups, you see.” “I’m .going to every agency that deals with children,” said Enid, as the four rifted their glasses, “until someone listens to mb.
