Born of the Storm
By SIDNEY B. CARTER
(Chapter 20)
Gertrude's friendship and Viola'
kept Priscilla from becoming too
depressed again and then there
was her work at the office- to
stimulate her. But a few weeks
after she had gone out to dinner
with Gertrude and the two boys,
something happened which served
to bring out Priscilla's old spirit, if
only to rebel against the consum
mate injustice of it. Drusie brought
her a letter one saiuraay morning.
It was postmarked San Francisco
and proved to be from Kenneth.
"I been tola you and Gertrude
been runnine aro-n' with fellers
till all ours of the nite and caring
on high and I dont like it and I
want it stopt."
I'm not going to take that, she
told herself. I'm not airaia 01 mm
any longer. I'm not afraid of any
body. I'll go where I please and
do what I please.
She threw herself into her work
in order to forget him and then,
too. she knew that she was in
line for promotion. She wanted
more than ever to make some
i thing of herself, to justify the
' faith her father and Dennis had
once had in her.
On a blustery March afternoon,
Priscilla walked across the street
1 to the cafeteria for her usual fru
gal lunch. Mechanically, she push
ed the glass swinging door and en
tered the welcome shelter of the
lunchroom. At the counter she got
; a bowl of soup and some toast,
and then sat down at the only
vacant table. Priscilla propped a
book up in front of her and sighed
She had not reached the end of
the first page before someone came
to set a tray down on her table.
Irritated, but too polite to show it,
Priscilla closed her book to make
room for the stranger, when sud
: denly she noticed the hands that
held the tray. Strong hands they
were slim, sensitive hands, yet
. strong. Before she heard the fa
miliar, soft voice she knew to whom
those hands belonged.
Priscilla raised her eyes slowly,
"Hello," said Dennis. He was
smiling, "May I share your ta
ble?" "Of cuorse," Priscilla answered.
Except for the unwonted pound
ing of her pulses, you would have
thought it had been only yester
day tnat they had lunched to
gether. Priscilla watched his hands as
he took the dishes from the tray.
He sat down, but he did not begin
to eat. Priscilla no longer felt any
Interest in food, nor did Dennis
seem to care whether or not he ate
anything. He simply sat and look
ed at her, as if he were memorizing
her face.
"You don't -seem to have much
appetite," said Dennis, as he look
ed at her meager lunch which was
almost untouched. "Is that all you
eat?"
"I seldom take any more than
this."
From the discussion of food, they
took up the topic of the weather
and then there didn't seem to be
much more to say. Or perhaps there
was much too much to say. At any
rate Priscilla hoped it wouldn't be
said in a crowded cafeteria.
"Do you like French food?" Den
nis asked, as they sat palpably
forcing down the last of their lunch.
"Oh, yes," said Priscilla. "I mean
... I think I do ... I haven't
eaten much of It , . , except bouil
labaise, once . . ." She flushed
with embarrassment at this evi
dence of naivete.
"Then how about lunch tomor
row?" Dennis was asking. "I know
a place where they have wonderful
French food."
"Oh, yes . . . yes, of course,"
Itammercd Priscilla.
Priscilla went to sleep that
night almost happy.
The next day at noon, wearing
her old red coat newly brushed
and bright, Priscilla left the of
fice and walked toward the ap
pointed place. Harassing doubts
walked with her. Had he forgot
ten their date? Would he be able
to get away, even if he wanted
to? She need not have worried.
He was there, waiting for her. Smil
ing, he took her arm and they en
tered the resaurant together.
It was a quaint place with a
ireat stained-glass window in front,
through which sifted a soft, warm
light. On one side was a massive
brick fireplace with gleaming cop
per utensils. The fire crackled mer
rily and emitted a pungent odor.
which stimulated priscilla's appetite.
The tables, covered with spotless
White linen, contrasted sharply with
a dark walnut bar. where the fancy
glassware and colorful bottles
sparkled as brightly as the fire
Itself.
"I usually speak French with the
waiters," whispered Dennis. "Com-prenez-vous?"
"A little. Or, should I say un
peuv replied Priscilla. She was
determined to be sophisticated if
u Kuiea ner.
"That's fine, honey." He turned
to the waiter and handed him their
coats saying,
"Boniour. Henri."
"Bonjour, Monsieur Drummond.
Comment vous portez-vous?"
"Je me norte fort bien. ie vous
remercie," answered Dennis. "Faites
la connalssance de mon amis Ma
dame Kent," he added, Introducing
f nsuiim.
"Enchante, Madame."
"Moi, aussi," replied Priscilla.
Henri turned to Dennis, and asked
good-naturedly.
'Madame cst-elle votre bonne
amie?"
"Je le souhalte. Henri."
"Dennis." Priscilla asked curious
ly, after the waiter left with their
order, "why did you say you wished
it were so, when he asked whether
I was your good friend. Don't you
ininK i amy
Dennis hesitated and seemed to
measure his words before he snoke.
"He didn't use bonne amie in the
literal sense of 'good friend,'" said
Dennis. "He meant It as an idiom
for 'sweetheart.' I answered I wish
ed you were my sweetheart. Now
you know how I feel."
For a long moment their eves
met in understanding and each
knew what was In the heart of
the other.
