Nothing Venture

Chapter 21 1 "Ycm " snld Nan.

A( juncn jervis maae tne sore oi wim nis nana
polite conversation lie would have to
a guest, ana immediately alter luncn
he went out. The day had turned to
heat; the last of the how was none,
and fierce Bun boat down upon the
damp ground; far away on the hori
zon heavy piled up clouds suggested
thunder.
Nan took a book to a scat on the
shady aide of the lawn, but she did
not read. The book lay on her lap,
while her thoughts moved restlessly
about the broken bridge. She had a
shock, and It had left her shaken.
Jervls had been as near death as he
could ever be until death took him.
She did not think of how near she
had been herself. Bho thought of
Jervls taking that long step forward
on to the bridge, of the bridge crack
ing, of the violence of Its fall, and
of the roar of falling water.
She opened her book at random
and began to rend. The words passed
over her mind like water passing over
a stone; they left no mark. She shut
the book, and saw Jervls crowing the
lawn toward her with Bran at his
heels.
"Are you going to withdraw It?" ,
NO,
"After Benham's report?"
Nnn flung up her head.
"Ho tried to kill you!"
"That's nonsense. The bridge fell
because It was rotten and I'd put off
having It seen to. As a matter of
fact. It was Leonard who directed my
attention to it not a week ago Ben
ham reminded me. I don't like Leon
ard he's not a man I've ever cared
about, but he's a family connection,
and I think you ought to take back
what you said."
Nan got up. She took a step to
ward him and stood still.
"This Is the third time he's tried
to kill you," she said.
She saw hts face darken and then
change. He was looking past her,
and she turned Involuntarily. Janet
Tetterley and Rosamund Curew wore
coming across the lawn.
Nan braced herself, She felt taken
unawares and defenceless, but she
called on her courage, and It rose.
Alfred brought chairs, and pres-
word, and she did not see him till
dinner.

Nan turned to lace him. Bran came Janet Tetterley, a ginger-haired
over to her and put his head in her woman with pale eyes and magenta
lap. tips painted on crooked, shook hands
"Tho wood was rotten. The spray without looking at Nun and began
from the fall had rotted It. As a at once to talk to Jervls about pco

havo a try for the Winkledon girl,
but It wasn't likely she'd look at him
because Snorter was In the running

over Pogo. .

Nan. looked down at Bran and
stroked his head. She did not speak.
She had a picture In her mind of a
lightning flash, and of Robert Leon

trees

"Performances speak louder
than promises."
Rosamund sat, for the mast part,
lighting one cigarette from another
and talking little. Once when Nan
looked up she found herself meeting
Kosamuud s eyes. Behind their won
dcrful bluo a (definitely h f tile
something met and then Instantly
cvaaea tier, nan fell a little shaken;
sho did not expect Rosamund to like
her. An armed neutrality was the
oesi inni cow a do hoped lor between
them.
Tho two did not mako a long visit.
As they got up to go. Tetterley mado
a restless movement towards Nan.
"Oh, by tho way, Basher told mo
to bo suro to ask you about your
peopic.
Nan gazed at her. She did not
repeat tho word Bashor, but sho con
trlvcd to produco tho Impression of
naviug (tono so.
Tetterley Jerked her emaciated
shoulders.
"Basher's my husband. He's got
it into his head that you may bo
related to some Porsyths he used to
Know, l told him it was moat Im
probable, but he said to ask. I be
lieve ho was In lovo with one of
them. They used to live at a place
In Connecticut, and one of the sons
went off digging up Old Testament
places In Chaldea. Basher says he
was quite well known In his own
line."
"Nigel Forsyth." said Jervis.
Tetterley nodded.
"That's It. He wrote books about
It. I don't read them myself, but
Basher gloats over them, and he par
ticularly Aald I wob to find out If
you are related to these Connecticut
Forsyths."
Nan's color rose.
"Yes, I am."
"Not really!" Her tono made this
an Impertinence.
Tetterley knocked tho ash off her
cigarette and said, "Basher will be
thrilled."
After which sho turned with one
of her abrupt movements and de
clared that they ought to have gone
10 minutes ago.
Neither she nor Rosamund took
any leave of Nan, who was left un
certain of whether to cross the lawn
with them or to remain where she
was. Sho mado a tentative move
ment to follow them, but they were
already somo distance away; she
would have had to run to catch
them up. No one of the three looked
round. She hesitated, stood looking
after them for n moment, and then
returned to tho tea-table with grow
ing certainty that sho had done the
wrong thing. A few minutes Inter
sho got up and walked to tho house,
her cheeks burning and her courage
very low.
She met Jervls In tho hall, and he
looked at her with a cold anger. ,
"Why didn't you come to see them
off?"
"You went without me."
"You should havo come too."
Sho said, with a simplicity that'
checked him. "1 am sorry. You went
off so quickly at tho end, and I!
thought It would look foolish If I !
ran after you." ,
