CHAPTER NINETEEN JANE looked around, saw a fallen tree and sat down, pulling out of her pocket a package of cigarets. When she did not speak Lois added, “What was Roger’s goal in life?" “You’ve been reading Adler,” the older woman said with a quick smile. "A man’s goal determines all his actions. Maybe. Roger’s goal,” she added thoughtfully, “was giving people what they wanted.” “A pretty big order,” Lois commented. ‘ “You know, Mrs. Fleming,” Jane flicked ashes from her cigaret and clasped her arms around her knees, looking through the streaked sunlight on the leaves, “as a rule we expect so much more of others than we do of ourselves. We are impatient when they don’t change their habits to suit us, but don’t bother to change our own. All that. But Roger was the other way. He tried to make himself what others wanted him to be and he took them at their own valuation. Better than their own valuation. He simplified them because he was a very simple man, and he heightened their good qualities because he was essentially romantic.” Tears filled her eyes but she did not bother to wipe them away. *TU love him till I die,” she said simply. "He’s In my bones.” After a moment she went on, “There is a time in the life of most of us when we lose our sense of wonder, our expectation of adventure lurking behind the bend in the road, our belief in magie hiding behind a stone. Roger never lost that quality. He carried it with him always. He communicated a sense of heightened experience to those around him. The weather was never gray where he was. “You have a big job, Mrs. Fleming; try, if you can, to make him real. He wanted so desperately to be real And he blundered so disastrously. So .She. put out her cigaret, taking her time. It’s .coming now, Lois thought; what she really wants of me. Jane stretched out her legs, staring at her sturdy boots. “Mignonne has spoken of you so often. She calls you a kind of divining rod, ] with a curious ability to get in- i side other people’s skins, think with.their minds, feel with their | nerves. 1 don’t know how you go 1 at it, probably you don’t know 1 either. I write factual stuff myself. I But try if you can to —And Roger." < But that wasn't what she had i meant to say, Lois thought i “He could have been a great

man if he hadn't been so tragically weak.’’ Jane straightened up briskly. "Well, I’ll give you a rough outline, though you’ll probably be able to get all that from other people. At least It will give you a kind of spine on which to construct your story.” s Roger, she said, was left an orphan when he was only five years old; he had been brought up by relatives who never forgot they were doing their duty and never stopped talking about it He had been, curiously enough, considering the man he later became, a shy child, so milch bigger than other boys of his age that people expected, irrationally, that his mind and his emotions had grown with his body. "You see, in away, the pattern was set from the beginning. People expected too much of him.” Jane leaned forward, resting her weight on her big, finely shaped hands, as though she read the story on the ground. He had become a newspaper reporter; that was how they met, for Jane was working on the same paper. They had married with little to live on. And then Albert had lost his first church; he found he simply did not believe In It any longer, so Roger had taken cane of him and Bessie. "As a matter of fact, that’s when Roger started The Way 1 Heard It. He needed extra money in order to support Albert. And the Kibbees had a baby right away. Well, Albert got other churches and lost them, and started a religion of his own and abandoned it, pursuing his dreams like bright balloons which always burst when he grasped them. But in the meantime Roger had hit Ms stride; he began to develop--nis own line. He became a popular success, more and more newspapers took a column, people quoted him, he was news.” Somewhere during those years they had been divorced; Jane And three years later Roger had married for the second time. His popularity mounted. And then, suddenly, without warning, he died. “What a pity,” Lois exclaimed, “for him to go at the very peak of his productive ability. I suppose his heart condition was the result of overwork." „ “Nonsense! His heart was in perfect shape. I saw him a month before fie died. Ran Into him in a hotel lobby in New York and we had lunch together. He had just come to the city for a check-up and because he was—not sleeping” “Oh! They told me he had died

f in his sleep. I just took it for - granted that his heart had failed.” - Lois’ voice trailed off. Like lifte ing fog she became aware that this e. was the thing Jane had wanted to f tell her. That Roger had not died r of a heart attack. The whole confused picture fell into shape: Mig- - nonne’s evasiveness about the job; s the jumbled dates of arrival, V "catching us unprepared”; Jane f Brindle’s appearance after ten r years. Divining rod. She wants i me to find out how and. why Roger 5 died, Lois thought. f For a moment she was conr scious only of her fury at being - hoaxed. At being used. Beside her, 1 Jane was quiet, with a relaxation i that required no twisting of hands, no movement of feet. Something 1 in her was profoundly serene. I - like her, Lois thought. I like her ” immensely. r “This is not for publication,” i Jane said; "simply to give you a y sort of frame of reference. When I saw Roger a month ago he looked - flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, ;, his nose was getting a trifle bule bous, his mouth too lax." ti "You mean he was drinking too t much.” i “Much too much. Being Roger, y he was a secret drinker. He didn’t e want anyone to know that he was finding life too difficult to cope s with. And, anyhow, he’d —rather I recently he’d had a bad shock.” y Lois groped her way cautiously. 3 "Do you think — his second t wife—?” r “No, I don’t," Jane said. "I don’t J believe Carol did him any harm, d Tm not jealous. What Roger and s I had no other woman could have s touched. No, what I can’t forgive t Carol for is the ruthless thing she s did to Shandy Stowe.” s Carol, Lois thought Carol. Os r course, I should have seen that - Carol was the woman Shandy - planned to marry. It has been implicit in everything she has said, s in her proprietary manner. e Through a cloud she heard Jane ? saying, “Carpi wapbis fiancee, but 1 when he came back from the war, s scarred and crippled, she jilted him , and turned to Roger. And got him L to buy Shandy’S home for her into !, the bargain. When I had dinner t with him last night and saw that - he had become withdrawn and susj picious and bitter I could have slapped., the woman cross-eyed. 1 And the vexing part is that I bei lieve he is still in love with her." i She stood up suddenly. “I’m » keeping you. Albert Kibbee will be t getting impatient. Try to persuade ) him to see me, will you, Mrs. Flem- ■ ing? It would mean a great deal to me." • I (To Bo CostiaindJ, / 1 J .J §ll
