CHAPTER XXII course not,” Virginia said V-/ emphatically. “I’m surprised }ou ask me that, Oliver: It seems that everyone doubts my sincerity ” she complained with a touch of exasperation. “I’m sorry, Virginia. Misunderstanding,” he apologized shortly. “Most of us haven’t any stardust left, I guess.” "It makes me think none of you have ever been in love,” she said recklessly. That she had been indeed reckless she saw in his expression the next instant. “That’s hardly fair,” he protested, “coming from you, because it’s entirely your fault that I’ve never lived for that much-talked-of emotion. I like, to think I could have experienced it with you, Virginia, but you wouldn’t listen to me'and no other woman has given me even one little heart tug.” “Oliver, don’t talk nonsense. You might remember you’re piarried.” He smiled. “It would amuse Jeanie to hear that. She’s quite aware that our friends all know we’ve never mentioned love to each other. She wouldn’t mind my admitting it to you. In fact I think she rather beasts of it. It’s about all the claim either of us has to distinction, I fear.” “It’s a decidedly unworthy distinction,” she told him with an edge on her voice. “But I don’t believe you mean what you say and I think you’re simply corrupt to pretend it.” “Well, never mind,” he replied plaCatingly. “It doesn’t matter, so

much, does it? It’s apparent that you still believe in Santa Claus, and let me tell you 1 m glad of it. When you jumped on me so hard a moment ago for my hasty conclusion I was just going to tell you how disappointed I’d be if you suddenly turned out to have feet of clay. I always did worship you a bit, you know, Virginia.” “I wish you wouldn’t say such things, Oliver! It isn’t decent, especially in a business office.” “Ah, so the cat’s out of the bag. This is a business call!” “Os course. What did you think it was?” * “Now, you know you don’t want me to answer that one. Watch your step, Virginia, especially in a business offict ” “A fair hit,” she agreed, and laughed with him. “But, seriously, if there is anything in the world I can do for you, Virginia, just let me do it.” “You know how to make money, don’t you?” she returned directly. “At times, yes. Is that what you wish to do? Make money?” She nodded wordlessly, but her eyes spoke volumes. “It’s always a risky game making money on the Street,” he pointed out discouragingly. “And I thought you said you wouldn’t need money to be happy with the man you’re going to marry.” A long moment slipped by before Virginia answered. “I must have it to pay an obligation that father left,” she said quietly, but her low voice carried overtones of emotion so poignant

they stirred her hearer to at least a faint perception of her need. “I’ll help you, if I can,” he promised as quietly. It was as though both were aware of some invisible but powerful force that subdued their voices and made speaking difficult. He had caught the feeling from Virginia, who was completely in the grip of suppressed excitement. To obtain Oliver’s aid had been her one big, her only hope to make the .money she must have to secure her happiness. “Thank you,” she tried to say, but the distance between them increased with the speed of thought and the next thing she knew she was prone on the floor while his secretary was wiping her face with a wet towel and Oliver Cutter, prominent broker, was on his knees, chafing her hands. “Too stupid,” she murmured apologetically. Then her white lips parted in a heart-wrenching smile. “You were overwhelmingly kind,” she whispered. “Come out of it Virginia.” he begged in great distress. “I’m going to send you home in my car.” Virginia struggled to sit up. Between them, the secretary and Oliver, they got her back in her chair. “Don’t bother, please,” she urged. “I’ll be all right in a moment. I want to go on with our business now.” “Indeed we will not. I’ll come

up and see you this evening, or this afternoon, if you prefer. Staying with the Deans, aren’t you?” Virginia shook her head. “Not any more,” she said; then to the secretary who was standing by with a glass of water, “it won’t happen again.” “That’s all’ Miss Evans, thank you,” Oliver followed up in dismissal. “Now Virginia, out with it. What went wrong at the Deans,” he demanded when they were alone. I heard you were with them.” “You don’t expect me to talk about it, Oliver! Clarissa and I seem to have drifted away from each other. Please let it go at that.” “All right, if you say so, but I’ve an opinion of my own. Where are you now?” he added abruptly. “In a hotel,” she thought it best not to name it at the moment. “You ought to go to someone,” he advised her. “If Jeanie were back from Aiken I’d invite you to put up at our place. I could move over to the club,” he suggested on second thought. “That would be a topic for bridge table conversation,” Virginia exclaimed, laughing a little. “I suppose so. Pity we can’t do as we please.” “Well, I please to stay where I am, Oliver, with all appreciation of

If I were an alchemist would I be here or would I be fishing in Maine?” “You have a year to do it.” “All of that? Well, that does make a difference. I think, though, it would save a lot of time if I lent you the money.” “I’ll never have a hundred thousand dollars, Oliver, unless I make it, so it’s out of the question to borrow.” “Well, let’s see your 300. I suppose you brought it with you?” He was teasing, but Virginia opened her bag and handed him the money she had gotten from “Uncle Simon.” “Poor little babes in the deep, black woods of Wall Street,” he sympathized over the bills. Then catching sight of Virginia's forlorn expression, he laughed. “But I’ll be their papa and bring them up right,” he promised heartily. “Don’t you worry, mama. Come in day after tomorrow and I’ll have news for you.” He was at the door with her before the thought struck him that this might be all the money she had.
