They passed Nory's little old
car and then Ken stopped and.
kissed her. And he was so much
like a big, hurt kid that she tried
again to tell him it had not been
her fault that she had not left
him. No use; though; she gave it
up. Had he been anyone else Eve
would have thought him deliber
ately trying to make her tieem at

this of Ken.
He seemed depressed and un-J
happy, walking 'along without
speaking, humming the Kashmiri
song. And at Mary's gate, beneath
the lilacs and syringas kissed her
again, said he would paint her
