Judith meets Steve for lunch and they go over the familiar arguments. points out that her friends, Virginia and Bob Bent, are happily married, "though ‘both have jobs. to break the engagement. Steve, realizing she is in earnest, asks tor come to her apartment that evening te talk the matter over, He comes and a short time later Bob and Virginia arrive with their friend, Toby Lynch. Steve and Toby have an argument and the evening is awkward for every one. Steve remains after the others have gone and begs Judith not to break the engagement. She keeps to her decision. Next day Steve telephones that he is coming dver. To avoid seeing him, Judith leaves the apartment. Deep in her thoughts, she steps down from the curb. without noticing & car coming toward her. The car swerves and strikes a fire hydrant. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

For what Seemed minutes she stood rooted to the spot, terrified with that the driver had swerved to avoid running her down. She ran toward the car, one hand clutching’ at’ her fear-tightened throat.

Not until they were in the car did he speak again, and his remark startled Judith’. “You said you'd never contributed very much to the hospital,” he said, “but the fact is that, just in the space of a few minutes, you contributed a great deal. ‘Youth and beauty—and those are a lot.”

The moment I saw you I thought to myself, ‘I must know this girl!’” At sight of Judith's profile, so obviously revealing her astonishment, he laughed. “I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I'm a fellow who imagines he's very fast, and a very clever worker. But that’s not true. I haven't said anythink like this since—well, since 1 was in medical school.’ But I always say what I think. It's disturbing to people, and it's got me into a peck of trouble. It may even prevert nte from building up a very big practice. But there it is.” Judith was silent, and Harris went on: “Is there any reason why, if I thought so, I shouldn’t say. that you brought youth and beauty into the hospital tonight?” “I suppose not.

“Nurses! I get sick and tired of seeing nurses. In fact, I don’t see them at all. Theyre just there. They're part of the place. Any doctor will tell you that if you ask hin. There's been a lot of balderdash written and acted about doctors and nurses.” “Excuse me, Dr. Harris—but hadn’t I better tell you where I live?” 2 ” » E looked down at her with a disarming, boyish grin. “If you want to get home, I guess you had. But for my part, I could drive you around until ‘morning.” Judith smiled to herself. What a breathless sort of man this was! She wondered how much was real, how much was false. Either he was tremendously sincere—or he was taking her for a fool.
