Since the deliberations at Que-
bec bear upon the war plans, the
sessions of necessity are secret
so that Germans and Japan may
gain no inkling of major war de-
cisions. All comment about the
conference, hence, is speculative,
end guesswork is not dependable
as accurate information.
Because various commentators
are “sold” cn the idea of plan-
ning the peace and presume the
war may end suddenly in Eu-
rope although there is not the
slightest sign on the battlefronts
to support that surmise, they in-
fer that the conference is being
devoted, in part, to the postwar
settlement in Europe, in which
Russia should be a partner.
In the few days allowed for
tire Quebec meeting all will wgree
that momentous decisions of war,
difficult to make, are forced up-
on the leaders present. If an in-

• CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
THIS WAS a nice place to sit
■n a parked car and talk, Karen de-
ed’d. There was shade from the
late afternoon sun under the tall
Australian pines; the lake was full
of movement, little fishing boats
corning in from their day’s labor,
a white yacht bobbing up and
down, like a rocking chair, on the
choppy crest of its blue-green sur-
face. The bridge was deserted, for
rhe home-bound traffic was not yet
unleashed. Tn a cloudless sky an
airplane banked and circled, its
drone the soothing sound of bees,
practicing maneuvers.
She said the usual things about
the war—how terrible it was, how
unexpected, how everyone was
now anxious to do his pert, asking
the usual questions. What did
Marty think about it? Did he be-
lieve it would have to last very
long? Was there any danger of the
mainland being attacked? She did
not ask, not so soon or so directly,
what he was going to do about it.
She realized that she had done
the talking; Martin had given the
expected answers at expected in-
tervals. It had come sooner than
foreseen; It was a stab in the back;
no one could predict how long it
might last; he was not of the opin-
ion that the mainland could be in-
vaded, not by Japanese on the west
coast, or Hitler on the east.
But he did not answer the im-
portant questions: what he, him-
self thought, what he was going to
do. He did not add his usual discus-
sion of war. He had said that she
could talk, and that he would lis-
ten. That was about what it
amounted to, Karen decided. If she
wanted anything more from him,
she would have to ask for that, too.
She said, “The reason we post-
poned our wedding until spring"—
oh, surely it only was postponed
for that short time—“was because
Paul had immediately signed up
with the Civil Air Patrol. He flies
four hours at a time. He turned
over his plane to the government,
too.”
“That’s most commendable, con-
sidering the government will take
all private planes and things like
that million-dollar yacht anchored
out there before this fracas is
much farther along. And consider-
ing that this coast must be pro-
tected, as well as our other fronts
that are more dangerous and far-
ther removed from our shores. But
of course he would do the right
thing, your young man, if always a
bit late doing it,” he ended on a dif-
ferent tone, his teasing one, one
that did not hold the slight irony
in his first words that were con-
tradicted by his last.
"He wasn’t late in this!” Karen
was angry at herself for defending
Paul when he did not need it. May-
be she was so quick because she
felt he needed it for other reasons.
“And what Paul’s doing is danger-
ous and important. He flies clear
out over the ship lanes, not only
looking for subs or signs of them,
but keeping constant vigil over the
freighters and convoys. He’s re-
ported oil slicks several times,
where our boats have gone down.
But I guess I’m not supposed to
talk about that."
“I guess not,” Martin agreed.
He added, “You got me wrong, sis-
ter, If you thought I was underrat-
ing your sweetie. I am aware he is
a swell guy and 100 per cent Amer-
ican. I only meant our country is
going to need every man who can
fly, and then some. I hold our own
coast worth protecting, and even
the smallest fishing barge as well
as the ships being sunk faster than
we can replace them. There are
other methods of attack, from
within, far graver than invasion
and air raids."
He did not name them, but she
knew he meant inner friction,
strikes, sabotage, any and all
forms of a fifth column. And she
agreed with that, but still he had
not said what part he meant to
take. She said. “Paul may go into
the regular Army. In fact. I know
he will if he feels, later, that that
is where he is most needed. That’s
another reason, the MAIN one, we
thought it more sensible to not be
married in a rush." Martin must
be made to understand that the
postponement had been mutual.
Could Paul have asked for it, as
Eva claimed, because he felt some
doubt within himself?
“Much more sensible,” Marty
agreed, too solemnly. In that same
tone he said almost’the same thing
Eva had said to Karen. “You don't
know much about love, do you,
Miss Fairfax?"
"I don’t know what you mean
And you did promise not to keep
on calling me names.” Why was it
he always could make her so an-
gry, just as he always could right
anger again Instantly, as he did
now, with his wide, engaging grin
“If I break my promises to you,”
he said, "it's because you make me
do it. I told you once that you made
me do things I know I shouldn't.
You are so lovely, Karen, that I
keep forgetting you are such a sen-
sible young lady. And when I said
you didn’t know much about love
I meant a kind of love that you
don’t know anything about, al-
though maybe it’s just as well.”
She supposed he meant the kind
he himself must have suffered,
since Karen still was of the opinion
that that was all the mystery there
was about him, that he had a lost
love in his past. Hadn’t he as much
as said so himself when he had
warned her to leave his heart
alone? She supposed he meant the
kind of love that hurt, bringing
bitterness as well as joy, tears as
well as laughter. Well, she was
learning about that n'-w, wasn’t
she?—thanks again to Eva. Or
maybe he meat the kind that sent
chills up and down your spine when
you were kissed. But since she had
learned about that from him she
would not include it.
She said, “Of course you are the
only one who knows anything—
about anyone.” He claimed he knew
all about her, and she was finding
out she did not know herself, or
Paul, so that no one could know 4
that much, ever.
He gave her l.is wide grin again,
"I stand corrected, teacher. I beg
your pardon, I mean, Karen, al-
though why can’t I call you some-
thing of my own, say Katy, or even '
K, since I’m not allowed the special
privilege afforded your special
B. F., «s Buffy brought out when
he said that Mr. Wyatt calls you
his darling ...”
“Call me K, or even Katy, If you
insist," Karen broke in, laughing In
spite of herself, although that went
to show she had been right in
thinking it would help to talk with
Marty, who could always get a
laugh, if he could get other things
like anger and annoyance. She
thought Buffy a much safer topic,
so she said, “I promised Buffy he
could go fishing with you some
time. But it may have to wait
awhile. He had a little upset. Noth-
ing much.” She would not want
Martin to know about tin airplane
ride with Paul that had caused
Buffy’s illness. She must hold on to
all the loyalty she had for Paul
now, needing it to stifle any
doubts.
“That’s too bad,” Martin said of
the child’s upset. “I’m glad it was
not anything. He’s such a game lit-
tle chap. Not afraid of anything.”
Karen was glad Marty thought
as she did about that. Buffy’s fear
of planes was well founded; it no
longer existed, now that he had met
it. She still felt sure that Martin
would have found some other way,
more like her own, than forcing
Buffy to go up. On an impulse she
said, “Since you didn’t catch those
fish, why don’t you come home with
me for dinner? Buffy would be de-
lighted.” It would be a delightful
surprise for the boy. There were nc
guests for dinner this evening. Nc
reason, that she could see, why she
should not invite Martin.
He said, “Is that the only reason
you ask me ? To please Buffy—and
because you’re afraid I might gc
hungry?”
“Of course not. I’d like to have
you, too. I’d like to have you meet
my father—and Paul. No doubt hftj
will drop in later.” Hadn’t she told*
him before she wanted him to meet
Paul—and herself that Paul must
get to know Martin ? Now that she
had obeyed this impulse, she would
not retract it. “Please come,” sta
urged, her eyes smiling into his tc
show him she really wanted him.
“I'm not dressed,” he began.
"Dinner is informal tonight. Nc
guests. I won’t dress, either. Be-
sides, you look very nice, Mr. Fish-
erman.” His skin had darkened
from these past weeks spent out ol
doors and it made a pleasant con-
trast to his white shirt and trou-
sers which, although worn, were
spic and span.
"When you put it that way, an<J
call ME names, how could a mere
mortal man refuse you?” Martin
asked.
