of course, go on. And she can’t
help her husband, she can’t evrn

“I’m sorry,” said Gail wearily.
Alexandria asked, and her thin
Angers pleated and unpleated the
folds of her handkerchief, “Gail,
would you like to live elsewhere?”
Eut before Gail could answer, she
added, “Or have me do so ? I
haven’t spoken to Bradford. I ap-
preciate how -he would feel, di-
vided in his loyalty. But be needn’t
be. He must consider you first,”
she said firmly but her pointed
chin quivered a little.
Gail thought a moment, and then
spoke.
"Nothing'is changed,” she said,
“because I’m going to have a
baby.” The truth of What she had
just said reached her with great
force, at the moment of its say-
ing. Nothing was changed, she
was herself, Brad himself, this old
woman unaltered. . It was not so
easy as that. "Please don’t look
at me,” she Said earnestly, “as a—
a means of insuring the succession.
You’d sacrifice your own comfort,
your wishes,
But don’t
solved between us can’t be solved
by the patter of little feet!”
“Asinine expression,” said Alex-
andria crossly, but laughed, much
to her own astonishment
“There,” said Gail, “that’s better.”
Alexandria said, “I haven’t liked
you nor approved of you. I haven’t,
I dare say, given myself a chance
to do either. And you’re qui|p
right, I wasn’t thinking of you nor
of your happiness except as it
might affect you and the child.”
“I told my father,” Gail said,
“that whether we ever liked each
other or not, we could learn to
respect each other. He said we
had to respect ourselves first.”
“It’s enough to go on,” said
Alexandria. She rose and remained
standing. "Remember, you remind-
ed me, this is your house,” she
said. k
“My home,” Gail corrected her.
“Yes, I said it, but I didn’t mean
it I was trying to get something
of my own back. But when Brad
told me I must go to the hospital
I said I wanted to go home. Af-
terwards I realized it was the first
time I had thought of this house
as home.” She looked up at Alex-
andria, and said, after a moment,
“It’s yours too, Gran.”
“I’m selfish,”
with a certain
placency, “headstrong, and domi-
nant. I had to be. You won’t be-
lieve that, but it is so. I married
a weak man: our son was his re-
flection. I didn’t like their way, so
I had mine. It gets to be a habit.
You seemed a little—softened, just
now. I suppose I am. We Won’t
be, all the time. You can't change
people with an offer... a refusal.
But we'll get on better. I’ll speak
my mind, you speak yours. I don’t
think either of us was cut out to
be a convert, but there are com-
promises. Most of life is a com-
promise I suppose, much as I hate
to admit it.” She smiled. “You get
well,” she said,

Alexandria was admitted and
looked at hdr sharply, sitting by
the Wifidaw in a big chair, Wear-
ier B frivolous negligee, her shin-
ing htor combed loose and pushed
back with a round comb.
“Mind if I come in ?” She looked,
over her shoulder, at Millicent
twittering behind her and said,
"Cail knows you’re glad she’s
home. Shut the door as you go
out.”
Millicent shut the door.
“A pretty kettle of fish,” com-
mented Alexandria. “Bradford
must have been out of his mind,
taking you to dinner with a luna-
tic, and you in your condition'.”
“He didn’t know abbut my con-
dition,” said Galt, “and I didn’t
either. Besides, Erich Sturm isn’t
... I mean wasn’t . . .”
“Of course he was. That girl
must be ar. idiot, keeping him at
home against everyone’s advice, to
say nothing of blowing herself
Gail repeated the conversation to
Brad when he came home that
afternoon. She said, “I think we
have reached an understanding.’’
’It’s more than most of us do,
and" certainly the first step. I saw
ycui father today. Manners tele-
phoned. It seems he’s been wor-
ried. Not that he’d admit it But
he hadn’t seen nor heard from
you.”
"I wasn’t supposed to go for at
least three weeks.”
“I know. But he was watching
the mail.”
“How is he?”
“Wpll, he doesn’t like the routine
and he gripes continually. Still,
he’s behaving. He has considerable
will power v.nich,, for most of his
life, has teen directed into the
•wrong channels. Now I think he’s
trying io prove semething to him-
self tJid, possibly, you.”
“If he 'succeeds,” asked Cail,
“then what?”
“Take it a step at a time,” he
suggested. "I don’t think, for a
moment, hearts and flowers, all is
forgiven, and a yen to go out’ and
be a missionary. No. If he suc-
ceeds he’ll make his own life, and
we’ll help him* I can’t'picture him
spending his final years at a
daughter’s fireside, bouncing a
grandchild on his knee. I think
he’ll find something to do, and
then do it. Whether he’ll back-
slide or not, who knows? And it’s
too soon to be anything but hope-
ful. I told him, by the way, that
you were ill, that you had almost
lost the baby.”
“What did he say?”
“He was appalled. He said he
hated to think of himself as a
grandfathR*, that it was ehough to
drive a man to drink except that
the circumstances were against
that course. He said he didn’t feel
like a grandfather but. hoped you
were better and would soon be
recovered. He said a man does
things, without thinking. He fa-
thers a child and in no time at all
finds he’s an ancestor. Don't worry
about him, Gail. He has to make
his own way out of this. We can
give him the opportunity, but no
more."
“I’ve thought about him a lot
during the last week,” Gail said,
“quite selfishly. I mean, I thought
that if he were no longer a source
of worry and uncertainty I might
like him, as a person; he would
infuriate me but also amuse me.
I don’t Suppose that’s the correct
way to regard a parent.”
“It’s logical enough,” said Brart,
“besides, sober, and rid, eventu-
ally, of the long slow poisoning
process, he's not going to be quite
the same, you know. Just as as-
tringent, perhaps, and with as
much charm, but he’ll have direc-
tion ... I can’t put it any other
way. But I doubt if you two would
get along under the same roof for
more than an occasional long
weekend. Which reminds me,
there's no reason why you can't
