from the edge of sleep. She got into her robe and slippers again and pressed the button. “Sign here,” a messenger bov said. She signed ii, gave him a coin and closed the door. It was the play Herzberg had sent over to her. She propped herself up in bed with pillows at her back and coffee at her side. She read for three hours, Then she got up, had her shower and went out to walk in the brisk wintry air while her maid tidied her apartment. Under her arm was

the blue-covered script of the play,

“Herald On Wings.” More than one person turned to look at her as she strolled through the wind-swept park, murmuring to herself and cccasionally opening the seript to study a line and close it again, = n ” T 8 o'clock that night she put A the play in a drawer of her desk and stood before the hearih with her back to it, her head raised and said, “Paul, there has been a great wrong done.” She lifted her chin and there was a kind of dignity in the gesture. “It is not for you, nor for me, to judge which of us has been at fault.” Proudly she stood for a moment, Then her hands fell to her side and she lowered her head before she turned slowly away. Above her head, the small clock on tite mantle tinkled five times. Gordon Herzberg put down his teacup. The girl in the dark red velvet. housegown said, “It is not for vou, nor for me, to judge which of us has been at fault.” Shj lifted her chin for a moment, thea her hands fell to her sides and she Jowered her head before she turned slowly away. “But you've got it! That's exactly what I mean.” Herzberg sat back in his chair, his hands folded.
