(Chapter 11)
Going down to breakfast together
ttie next morning gave them a new
' sensation. Kenneth strutted with
big usual self-assurance. Prlscilla
felt a little self -conscious but she
tnjoyed walking into the dining
room with her new nusuanu. ne
held her chair with perfect courtesy
wlille she seated herself, and then
at opposite her.
After breakfast they walked out
on the porch and relaxed in the
April sunshine, "wen; noney, saia
Kenneth finally, "we better get
soln' just as soon as I call Mom
" and break the news. I'd like to stop
at the furniture store on the way
back to show you what l picked
out."
"Ken. must we get new furnl
ture? We should save our money.
In a few months I'm sure I can
get a job and be able to help out.'
"You don't have to work. Pris.
! I want you to take It easy. Just
help Mom around the house a
little."
"No, Ken, you must pay your
mother board for me. It would be
a bad start in life to be under
. obligation to anyone."
"Well, honey, you do what you
want. But, about the furniture,
mine Is sort o' broken down and I
don't think there are enough draw
. ers for both of us."
Kenneth Insisted that they stop
at the furniture store and Prls
cilla smiled when she saw Ken
neth's choice a clumsy bed-room
suite, adorned with flashy inlays
and dripping with gingerbread carv
ings. She picked a suite with simple
lines and at very much lower cost.
Kenneth made a deposit on It, ar
ranging to pay the balance in
mommy installments.
When thev left the business dis
trict Kenneth passed a dilapidated
railroad station and crossed the
tracks where several freight en
gines were slowly and violently
Suiting their way. They threaded
lelr way through several gritty
streets, finally emerging into a
somewhat cleaner section where
uiere were long rows of narrow.
red-brick homes, with high, white
wooden steps. As. they neared
Kenneth's home, Prlscilla began
10 ieei ner neart sink again . . .
If they could only have their own
clean little home, with no one to
please but themselves.
In front of one of the few clean
houses In the row, Kenneth stopped
me car. xne secuon through which
they had Just passed was certainly
no tonic for Priscilla's nerves and,
despite her determlantlon to re
main calm, she mounted the flimsy
wooden stairs with considerable mis
givings. Kenneth unlocked the door
and they entered a small living
room, separated from the back of
tne nouse By a stairway leading
to the second floor. The furniture
was old and worn but the room was
clean and neat. A colorful grass
rug lent some cheer to the other
wise drab surroundings. In a dark
corner gleamed the polished sur
face of a large walnut radio. Ken
Beth ran to the stairway.
"Hl-ya, Mom?" he called. "We're
here for lunch. Is 61s home?"
"Kenneth," whispered Prlscilla,
"you shouldn't have said anything
ibout lunch."
A woman well past middle age,
her graying hair caught In a knot
behind her head, came slowlv from
behind the staircase. Although over
average height, her stooped shoul
ders and unwleldly figure made
her look considerably shorter. She
wore a neat, dark, print housedress
and a dean white apron, "Yer sis
ter's In school. You oughta know
ed that," she said In a tired voice.
ner expression, like her voice, was
weary and her face was entirely
told of animation. Kenneth's hug
and Uss Induced a half smile which
toon gave way to a burst of tears.
"Now, Mom, Is that a nice way
to welcome your new daughter?"
Prlscilla took the cue and came
over and put her arms around
Mrs. Kent, kissing her and telling
her how glad she was to know
her,
"I fuess this has been a ehock
to you, Mother Kent," she said,
tmt I hope well all be very hap
py together."
Mrs. Kent did not answer but
drew back and looked Prlscilla

over appraisingly.
"Humph I Yet right purty, ain't
ya? Well, nothln's too good for
my Ken," she said, looking at him
as lovingly as her stolid features
would permit. "S'pose we go In
and sit down to the table. I got
mncn reaay ler ya."
Prlscilla made It a point to praise
Mrs. Kent's cooking, as well as
the tidiness of the house. For
tunately, Prlscilla had touched one
of the few vulnerable spots in Mrs.
Kent's heart. She was Justly Droud
of her culinary skill and she unbent
sufficiently to acknowledge the com
pliment with an appreciative pat
on the hand, much to the delight of
oom nennem ana rrisciua.
Just as they were about to go
for Priscilla's clothes. Kenneth's
sister returned from school. A dull
witted girl of about 11, she had
managed to advance laboriously to
the 5th grade, and now had been
detained there for the second year.
She resembled her mother, both
in aonearance and intellect though
she had the advantage of a little
more scnoonng. Diligently chewing
gum with her mouth half open and
swinging her books In time with
the movement of her Jaws, she came
slowly up the steps. When she saw
jtiennetn a smile or genuine pleas
ure lighted her dull features. Run
ning to him, she threw her arms
about him affectionately, not even
noticing tne otners in the room.
He lifted her from the floor and
gave ner a resounding smack. Set
ting her down, he turned to Prls
cilla.
"Honey, come kiss your new sis
ter. Dora. I know vou and Pris.
cilia will be chums." Prlscilla did
not feel drawn to the child, but
sne made an effort in that dlrec
tion.
After asking Dora a few com
monplace Questions about her
school, Prlscilla suggested that
tney had better be on their way
"Ken." she confided, as thev walk
ed toward Betsy, "I'm afraid this
is going to be tne worst Job of all
I ... I Wish it were over." Hpr
conscience smote her when she
thought or her father, still weak
from his illness. At least I could
have told him ahead of time what
I was going to do, she thought.
Kenneth's spirits were undamp
ened. "Don't worry, Babes. As Pop
would say, "Never cross a bridge
