CHAPTER FORTY-TWO - YOU can’t hate or even dislike You can’t hate or even dislike anyone once they're down and out, Carol discovered that same afternoon. It was she wfo comforted Thelma as best she could and stayed with her the remainder of the day. Thelma ranged between genuine tears and what sounded to Carol like a false “Maxie swore to me. Maxie swore to me he wels dead,” she kept repeating. ' “Then, why did you Jet Mr. Haskin have such 4 hold over you?” Carol asked quietly. Thelma twisted on the bed. “He knew too much,” she muttered. “AU about Jack and Maxie and me. The ’setup. He even knew that, as a joke, Maxie used to send me flowering cactus plants.’’ Something clicked in Carol’s mind. Maxie hadn’t sent that first bunch of flowering cacti to the ship; Don had. He hadn’t wanted Thelma to go to the States and he might have thought that curious bouquet would scare her off. Dates that evening, Thelma asked to see Derek, but Carol had to tell her'he v had already. left. Thelma seemed to feel Derek’s desertion as the final blow. Be r tween sobs, she admitted that she had wanted to marry him because she suspected she might not legally own Felton’s and she had felt his in|ame and money would be a protection. \ Carol and Derek had talked together for a short while before he left, Derek’s feeling for Thelma had only been a brief infatuation. All the same, be was bewildered. He kept repeating he couldn’t believe any woman could have done what she ifkd done. “But perhaps you’ve never known what it’s like to be really up against things," Carol murmured. x “No, I suppose not,” he agreed soberly. “But to lie, to cheat, literally to steal, to—to behave like a gangster." “But you accept Maxie Rosenthal,” she reminded him quietly. His good-looking face colored faintly. They were on the downstairs verandah leaning against the railings. “You’ve got Carol? But I only accept Maxie because, as I told you, everyone does.” w They didn't pursue the conversation. The sun was sinking behind the oddly charming collection of driftwood that made up the hotel. « \ “pid you really mean what you said to mo in the surf this morning?” he isked quietly. “My feeling for you wasn’t just an escape. I love you.” - She : shook her head. “It’s no good, Derek. For a time I thought I might tall in love with you. I hoped I would. Yes, that’s true. You’re not only kind and generous, but you’re — you’re Cinderella’s

Prihce!” She gave a small shamefaced laugh. He glanced down at her, sharply. “Cinderella’s Prince? That sounds sort of phony.” He paused and "then argued, “But Cinderella did fall in love with the Prince.” “Did she?” she pondered. “I wonder.. .Or wasn’t it glamor? Our fairy stories don’t go in for psychology. Fairy stories are so realistic. Cinderella knew which side her bread was buttered on, all right. All heroines do—in fairy stories. I think what .the good fairy really gave fairy-tale heroines at the christening was a dose of sound common sense. They didn’t eat their hearts out for somone—She broke off,, biting her lip, ashamed of herself. That someone wels coming , towards them, across the. woqden verandah, through the lengthening shadows of the late afternoon. He came and leaned on the railifigs beside them. The remaining glints of sunshine made his hair look redder than ever, his thin face looked lean, almost hollow. He didn’t look happy. “I’m not particularly proud of what I’ve done, Carol,” he said quietly. “At such a time you should feel triumphant, but instead you feel all mixed up. I’ve always had a hunch Thelma was frightened. I felt there was something down here to find out .|.. Well,” he shrugged, “I found out, but as l said, I don’t feel pleased with my-, self.” “But you own Felton’s now,’’ she pointed out. \ ■ ' ' . “There are other • relatives, but Tm the nearest of km. There’ll be considerable litigation.” , He grinned crookedly. “Almost I wish I hadn’t interfered.” “But Mrs. Felton 'was planning to sell out to Wainwright’s. We couldn’t nave\ had that!" She hadn’t noticed the "we,” but Jason He turned and looked at her. “Are you still with Felton’s or,” again ne gave n hlalf-humorless grin, "with Appleton’s Carol ?” Derek straightened. He said stiffly, “1 gueSb she’s with 1 wish she weren’t... I’m driving back to Palm Beach. Are you coming with me, Carol, or are you staying here?” She looked toward Jason. He mightn’t want her, but it didn’t matter. ’Tm staying," she said. 4 “Haskin asked me to drive him back. 1 gather Gallet has .already left. I’ll see you In the shop,” he added briefly as he turned away. He was gone. The beach was gray Emd golden, like a patchwork quilt. Jason and she continued to lean over the railings. “I almost hate myself, Carol,” he repeated quietly. “I’m sorry tor Thelma. They’ve all left her, like rats deserting a sinking* ship. Whatever happens, I’ll see that site doesn’t starve." She moved her hand toward his on the railihg: "Yes, Jason.”

His lean hand covered hers. “You didn’t go with Derek? Now you’re left with a man who may or may not own Felton’s, depending on how the legal base comes out. And, you've only got to use your eyes—l’m far from a Prince.” - b “You don’t have to pfppose to me, Jason.” Her voice was small, strangled. “And there’s Julie. Yt>u —you kissed her, didn’t you?” “Qi course." lie sounded surprised. "She was unhappy and I like her. I. kis^Twomen I like and when they’re unhappy. What do you expect me to do—-shake their hand? But she’ll feel better after this. Ben has Swartz and Maxie’s in the palm of his hand. My guess is Marne will have to clear out of the state. It wels to tell me about Thelma’s. marriage to Swartz that Julie asked me to meet her in the garden the night she was attacked.” “Then Ben will be the big shot down here?” Her voice was caustic. \ | He shook his head. "Ben promised me before I helped him break into the house and abduct Swartz that he’d take Julie away. They have money , salted away tn tpie West Indies and they’ll live there. He’s crazy about her. I think \ down there, away from all this, there’s d chance they’ll be happy.'f She nodded slowly. “I think Julie half loves him." "I wish,” he said quietly, “you half-loved me, Carol.” There was a pause. The patchwork quilt of gold and gray on the sand had dimmed. Dusk was closing around them, like a warm gray shawt It might have been the chill that cpmes with sunset, but they moved closer together, a* though for warmth. “Youa didn’t love me, Jason —not at home," she murmured. “No,” he agreed quietly. “I always liked you, but I didn’t love you. Oddly 1 only loved Felton’s. But since that night on the Queen Mary, when you came down to my ’ cabin and offered to help me. I’ve loved you, Carol. But it seemed madness when Derek Appleton, with so much more to offer, wanted you. I didn’t feel that to show you I loved you would be fair ito you, darling.” His hand was so tight over hers he was actually hurting her. j “Darling," he said it again, and then m the half darkness he drew her towards him and smiled “I’m going to kiss you again. Ape you going to smack my face again, darling?” ,V ; ? She gave a small laugh that had tears behind it. "Not unless you refuse to promise to marry me,” she said. He kissed her thoroughly, then he drew slightly back. "Then Cinderella isn’t reluctant?” he asked, grinning faintly. “I think most Cinderellas know what they want,” she said. (The EndJ
