What if one of us should get sick or—or something?” I've made a little provision,” he said. “Enough to carry me through an accident or illness—enough for casket money." Marian was ashamed of her feeling of relief. She had fretted over the possibility of Dan losing his position through illness, In a little rush she said, "I hope we don't need the casket money for a long, long time, Dan.” Sometimes, just for a moment they were the Dan and Marian of 12 vears ago, loving, sure of the future. She had been the happiest girl in the world then, happy over evervthing and nothing, asking little, finding joy were there was none, Riding out Sheridan in the cheap little car, Marian sat quietly, remembering. The night she first met Dan. They never had been properly introduced. She had gone to A pavement dance in Lincoln Park. It had been a hot September night. Even the breeze from the lake had been hot. Whom had she gone with? His face was & blur, All faces had become meaningless blurs that night. Except Dan's, She and someone had danced past him as he stood alone in the circle of onlookers beyond the ropes.
