Peddler of Dreams
By PEGGY DERN
(Chanter 0)
It wa in the second week of their
"partnership" U.ut fjarreli formed
the habit ol dl&cusMng wnn reucnj
the book he was planning. He would
not start it, he has tttsured her,
until they were seltied in Florida.
Meanwhile, the plotting and plau
ninK was most lmiwrunt. It wa.s
to be. of course, a modern novel;
all about everyday people and. ev-
erv-day things, but nis cnaracwrs,
as he outlined them, didn't sounu
at all like everyday people tt i-e-licity.
They had queer quirks ol
abnormality at least, privateiy, she
called it that; and the things that
hapjened to them seemed to Felic
ity to be unconvincing.
Once or twice Felicity protested
uneasily.
Oarrett had smiled at her tol
erantly and waved his pipe In a
little arc of amusement.
-And again Felicity, humble be
fore his superior knowledge of
writing, was silent; but not con
vinced. It was her firm conviction
that literature worthy of the name
simply held the mirror up to na
ture: that if the people in a book
didn't behave like logical human
beings, then there wasn't any book.
But as she worKed on her p.n
In snatched hall-hours alter the
children had gone to bed. she paus
ed often to wonaer uneasily if per
haps Garrett was right ana she was
wrong. She had labored In her play
to make her characters real human
beings; to have them doing and say-
lng the sort ol things mat real
people In real life would say and
do. Had she, perhaps, made a mis
take in this? Would it be better
If she had her characters .doing un
expected things, keeping the audi
ence puzzled? Would it be enough
Just to strive for the audience's
feeling of "Why. I know people ex
actly like that that's exactly the
way they would do such a thing?
But after that she seldom of
fered any protests to Garrett's plan
for his book and only listened pa
tiently when he tried to outline his
plan and his ideas about it.
By the time they reached Jack
son vi lie, Garrett's trailer was com
pletely empty of books and maga
tines. As they planned to stop at
Palm Beach for the rest of the win
ter. It seemed pretty silly to stock
up again, since the whole state was
so honeycombed with fine roads
that it would be difficult to find a
market for their stuff.
So, in a trailer camp on the out
skirts of Jacksonville, they held a
council, Jason and Felicity and
Garrett, when the younger children
had been put to bed.
"So the partnership Is ended. It's
been a lot of fun, Garry," said Fe
licity, and tried hard to speak
brightly about the plan in her heart
at the thought that Garret would
be leaving them now.
"You're not, by any chance, try
in? to get rid of me, my girl?" de
manded Garrett.
Felicity caught her breath. "But
you said you were going down the
west coast "
"That was before I declared my
self In as a member of this f am-,
lly," said Garrett firmly. "If it's
Palm Beach for you. then It's Palm
Beach for me that is, if you don't
mind?"
Jason laughed and said, in that
boyish voice that had such a dis
concerting way of swooping up or
dropping low, "It's a good-sized!
town, I've heard. There ought to
be room for two more trailers."
Garret was watching Felicity and
he said quietly, "If you'd rather I
didn't come along. FUss "
"Oh, but that's silly. Why wouldn't
I want you to come along?
etammered Felicity, and was thank
ful that It was dark here at the
eteps of the trailer and that he
could nt see her suddenly hot face.
"It'll be great having you along,"
aid Jason. "I'm awfully glad you
re coming.
Still Garrett waited, his eyes on
Felicity's face, a pale oval in the
darkness. But it was not until
Felicity had echoed Jason's en
thusiasm that Garrett said happily
"Then that's all settled."
It was noon of a bright, sunny
day when at last they rolled into
West Palm Beach, separated from
Palm Beach by the dark beauty
of Lake Worth with its faiiy-brldgcs.
Driving slowly, watching for the
bridge that a friendly service sta
tion man had said would tnke them
Oregon, Tuesday, May 10, 1949
across to Palm beach, It was Fe
licity who saw It first.
As Felicity turned into a lovely
shining street that she was after
wards to know was called Royal
Palm Way, the ocean showed be
fore them at the end of the street;
an ocean oiuer even than the sky
broken by a lew rolling break
ers. The children, their small faces
plastered against the trailer win
dows, marveled at the beauiifu,
white villas, enclosed in their
stately walls, with a Imnses of scar.
iet ana purpie Dougainvinea splash
ing against nouse-waiis: great scar.
itt. niDi.sc us ousnes tn rusting their
laughing faces over the Drotectlna
walls; sprays of yellow allamanda
dripping from grilled iron doorways
ana garage wans.
The trailer turned into the boul
evard facing the ocean and Felicity
arove several diocks Del ore she
yielded to the children's clamoring
pieus lO Slop.
She had driven below the sea
wall. On one side there was a state
ly, wide-winged white stucco house.
It was surrounded ov a six-foot
white stucco wall, and there were
grilled iron gates that wore a heavy
padlock. Father along, a drivewa
sate stood open. But opposite the
house there was a shelving sand
dune over which one might scram
ble to the beach. And the moment
the trailer stopped, the children
burst out of the door and swarm
ed down the dune.
Felicity waited until Garrett and
Jason had parked the cars, and
they all stood together, watching
the children running about on the
beach, gathering sea-shells, explor
ing. ;
