CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
“IT'S LIKE THIS,” Nigel had found out all he could from Baldy becore calling a meeting. “She ~wanted a chance. Baldy thought she was at least as good as average from what he saw last night and that there was a possibility she ‘might be better. She wanted a break and he's spotted a job in the chorus line of some dump in New York.” “Did he tell you the name?” “No. Some cheap place, probably on the East side.” Fay was thoughtful. “Baldy knows every joint in town, the good as well as the dumps, but I don’t see how he could get her anything as easily as that unless it is a hole in the wall. I'llefind out, about it.” Michael turned to her with a slow smile. “He's after your blood too. Maybe Baldy isn’t bad on the surface, but underneath "he’s just plain parasite.” “You read my thoughts,” muttered Myra. Her face was gloomy. “Wait till Danny hears about this,” said Michael with a rueful smile. “He'll go after Baldy with a gun.” “And hell blame me,” said) Myra. “Danny is the father of the Mack family,” she announced to the others. “Noted for his impulsiveness rather than his forethought when it comes to disciplinary action on his family.” “What shall we do?” said Nigel. “Simple enough,” said Michael. “Spike his guns. Stop him and we stop her. But why shouldn't she have her chance?” “p chance is all right.” Fay's voice was serious. “But she is only a kid and she'll be starting the hard way. Believe me, I've seen so much of it. I was lucky and went the easy way, but I wouldn't want a sister of mine to have the hard road. Baldy is straight enough. He does his best according to his lights. But I don’t like his lights. Neither would you.” . “The point is,” said Nigel, “we ought to solve this thing so that nobody is hurt—pleasant feelings all round and all that kind of thing.” Michael grinned at Nigel. and I could fix Baldy.” “What about Peggy?” “She'll have to lump’ it,” said Myra. “Why do I always land in other people’s troubles? They chase me. even when I'm trying to get a vacation.” “Can’t be helped,” said Michael. “Any suggestions for a plan?” ” ” f J IN THE HOUSE Baldy wiped the perspiration from his brow. It gave him a sense of power and fulfilment to be working over an act again, even if it was with the greenest of green kids. The idea was glimmering in his brain that through Peggy he could hold on to Fay.
“You

Baldy had begun to acquire a grudging admiration for Peggy's shrewdness and felt that if she didn’t start using it too much on nim, he might be able to use it to his own advantage. “I know,” she said. “weil go to the island! They won't be able to see us there and they won't think of looking there.”

In other words, he was to be strung along and ditched. “That’s fine, sweetheart.” he said to Peggy, when he had found out all he needed to know. “What we need now is a plan. You want to swim. O. K. You have your swim, and I'll do some thinking.
