TLARY put Aown Ms impulse
escape from the room:
Alice stood looking after his
mother—slim and straight and fair
and desirable, her pale gold hair
gleaming in sculptured curls round
her halo hat. If he had come home
on leave this summer, and found
her looking like this, surely he
would have had the good sense
to urge a date for their wedding?
And what Would she have said
to that—now that George had
come into it? He had to know.
George had dumped the ice Into
the White LadJ hastily and was
now performing tunes with the
shaker. ...............................7...................
“What upset her?" Alice was
asking. ”1 thought perhaps she
was worrying about Hilary again.”
“No,” said George, and began
to poOr out into the little stemmed
glasses with great care. *'Are
you?"
“Well, I’m afraid 1 haven’t been
writing much either,” she ac-
f kflowledged defensively, “so I
| don’t really deserve to hear. Oti,e
j loses "touch.” She accepted her
) glass from him and raised it,
with a little provocative smile.
“Cheerio," she said, and drank.
“Bung-ho," said George, and
tobk his at a gulp.
"Happy landings,” murmured
Hilary, watching them.
“Alice—'’ George set down his
glass with a clink, “—how much
longer are you going to let things
•go on like this?”
“What?” She raised startled
blue eyes to his darkening gaze.
“How much longer are you go-
ing to let me dangle?”
“George, you’re nqt to talk like
that I won’t listen!”
• ■* •
“VOU have to .listen. I’m sick of
A hanging about on one foot
waiting for Hilary to make up his
mind to marry you!” cried George
angrily. “Alter ail—where do 1
come in?”
“George, Hilary’s never asked
me to promise anything—actually.
But if I choose to consider myself
pledged—”
“Pledged to what?" he jeered
rudely. “To marry him if and
when he asks you to set a date?”
Alice drifted down the room,
avoiding chairs and tables'blindly,
her hands pressed together.
‘‘Are you really in love with
Him?” demanded George, comlhg
after her, so that she turned to
face him, at bay against the grand
piano.
“Are you, Alice?” insisted Hil-
ary softly.
“I was." She hesitated. “1—
could have been. I’m not going to
let him down now.”
“And what about me?” George
asked with sudden humility.
“You?” She tried to laugh It
oft. “You’ll be all right! You’ve
heaps of friends. But Hilary’s all
alone. He needs me,”
“So that’s how it is,” said Hil-
ary, and he had never thought of
it quite that way before. %
“But—you’d rather it was me?”
George persisted hopefully. i ’
“We won’t go into that now.*'
»“Yes, we will!" He bent to look
into her averted face. “You'd
rather It was me—wouldn’t you!"
“All right—” she sighed. “Sup-
pose I would rather it was you.'
What then?”
“This,” said George thickly, and
kissed her hard.
“George-^please—” But as she
straightened against his encircling
arms, she felt them tighten pos-
sessively. He kissed her again,
roughly, eompellingly, holding her
crushed against him till resistance
went out of her and her mouth
was willing against his. . . .
.....— - * ♦ •
WfELL, well, thought Hilary, en-
" lightened, as he turned away
towards* the door—she never
kissed me that way. . .
But as he reached the threshold,
his mother was coming along the
passage hurriedly, a crumpled
paper in her hand.
“George!” Mrs. Shenstone called
sharply as she came. “Alice—
George—where are you—” She
stood in the doorway, her eyes
blind with tears, her 'lips atremble. ♦
“What is it, mater?” George
went to her quickly.
“It’s Hilary—I've had a tele-
gram—" •
“What about him, mater?”
‘Hfo—oh, no—!” cried Alice,
looking frightened.
“He’s dead." She collapsed into
sobbing, and they led her to a
chair near the table. George
poured out a cocktail and held the
glass firmly while she sipped at
it and was calmer. .Alice slid to
her knees beside Mrs. Shenstone's
chair and stayed there, staring
straigfit ahead of her with wide;
dry eyes.
A moment more Hilary lingered
in the doorway; looking back at
them.
“It was'a shock,” his mother
was saying apologetically. “I—I
never meant to break down like
that. I—” Her eyes were fixed oh
George’s stupefied face, “What 1*
it, George? Why do you look so
—queer? George, what are you
thinking?’’ ^
•‘Nothing,” he said, looking very
queer indeed. “Nothing, only—it
was Hilary’s room old Ponsonby
had last night at the club.”
