CHAPTER FORTY-TWO Barrett vud slowly. suppose c Kit down and *a ,k this r.er 7 Just what has your mother told you?” Elinor had dropped to the foot of the chaiv longue Hands clasped on her kt >e. she looked like a frighten/d child on the vrn->• of tears Barret; drew a chair near and sat down leaning toward her. Mother told me that that you have an adapted son at *i. home of a widow who lives in the country. And that thq chlid looks like you. Why haven't you ever told me? why did vou adopt him, Ba rre* t 7 I can't tel! you that.” he heard himself answer in a dull monotone. "Don’t you think I should have known?" I don't know he answered, still dully I l told vou everything that mattered. Barrett' "When the ass lir involves a w n.'.an a man can no* always tell everything he stated Her cheeks burned with anger roused by a sharp flame of jealousy So he was still sheltering th. woman who had come before her 1 You admit vou are sheltering some woman 7 she asked Yes, Eli .or His eyes troubled her He was suffering Even through her own ;>ain she saw that You knew her—before you knew me?" "Yes. dear—” * Long before?" ‘ Years ” "You were ven. - voting—?” "Yes and I haven't felt young since excep’ at those times when you have shown me that vou cared for me "Please 1 she begged, shrinking.
H E dropped his face to his hands, groaned and then sat erect, shifting uneasily in his chair Then again, forearm on his knees he sat forward, but did no’ meet her eyes. Instead, he looked clown at the rug at his feet If he looked at her he knew he might ea ily blurt out the whole story. "I wish you eould believe." he said slow!v and miserably, that things are not always as they seem, dear- 1 that I love you truly and as you should be loved, that I would never hurt you willingly It's-it's killing me not to explain!” And yet you can’t because of some woman?" she questioned. H>* drew a deep breath that did j nothing to aerate his sodden lungs, i "No” he answered flatly They sat for some moments, he looking down at the rug and she ai him. "Please go'” she said. "I'd rather be alone I want to think it all through—” Os course there was no thinking It through She could only tell herself that, she had been a fool to expect more What had she seen ir. life but the same story, written with varying degrees of sordidness over and over again? One thing she knew, growing hot from resentment, and that was this child had a right to have a place near his father, to have all he would have had with a different birth. Her thoughts veered. For a while she forgot the boy—Barrett's boy. How she had loved Barrett and how frankly she had let him know it! Doubtless 'she trembled at the thought, he had compared her caresses with others. ana HIGGINS tappet! on the door. and she opened it to take a note. Barrett had written. "Dear please eat some dinner. You could have it in your room. Don't make me more unhappy than I must be. Please keep well—B "I'll have dinner here in niy room, Higgins." she said. "I have a slight headache ” • Yes, Mrs. Colvin. I'm sorry about the headache.” Higgins answered and tiptoed away.

Elinor heard Barrett moving about at 4 and through ihe crack below the door she saw a light which continued to burn as long as her eyes were open When the first of day turned wtnd' M to oblongs of slate-gray sn slept she woke to hear rain and to th' somber light that comes with a steady downpour. liurre*' was at the breakfast •able when she appeared Hiegur- v i in the room, and Barrett rose greeting her as usual with a kiss I didn * expect vou down." he aid. I was afraid you haan t slept well." I didn't You didn't sleep well either, did you?" No. dear " Higgins was gone now so that the dear” was not a pretense She . a w that ne could not eat and 'he mere thought of food nauseated her Wha* will we an d she asked. It's horrible for both of as!" God knows' he answered hollowly. "Barrett. I want to talk to you when you have the time ” Any time you say." he answered After breakfast then. In the library?" "If you like.” he agreed. But what, he wondered, was there to be said? H" pushed aside his plate and rose as she was rising
THE library windows opened on a little square of court Elinor sat down before one of the open windows, and Barrett drew a chair close facing hers But Elinor did not begin. She, too. was waiting. Os course.” she said slowly, "you can have a divorce.” He saw the intensifying pain in her eves and his heart warmed He went on eagerly. "I suppose you'd want that Is there any chance that you don't?” "No.” she told him "Not now. I wouldn't want people to know, for one thing Besides. I am as happy here as I could be anvwhere. , If you don't mind. I'd rather jast | stay on until you don't want me—" j But Elinor, that will make—life imprisonment in this house for you 111 always want you here. I don't see how I could let you go. I cant even imagine life without you. dear!" IP was looking down at his hands which he twisted. She wanted to lay a hand upon his arm and say. What is the matter with us? We love each other Why must we make each other so miserable?” But she could not; she could not. "What do you want?” Barrett asked slowly, raising his eyes to meets hers. "I think I'd like to go somewhere in the country and try to make a home for that child," she answered "Your adopted son It isn't right for him to be kept away like that.” "Very well.” For a space they were both silent; then he spoke. "I have a chance to go with an expedition to South America. Snail I go?" Her heart seemed to shrink, to grow small and become cold. "If you w ant to." she responded.
