Born of the Storm
By SIDNEY B. CARTER
, fihanfcer 25
In the days and nights that
followed, Priscilla tried hard to
figure things out. In the daytime
she lost her old efficiency at the
office as she stared into space in
stead of concentrating on the work
before her. Night after sleepless
night she lay beside uora, dunn
ing in a circle and listening, al
ways listening, for a sound from
Kenneth's room which would in
dicate he was in pain.
One night, when 6he had to go
Into his room to give him his
second sleeping pill, she stood be
side his bed for a moment after
wards. "Kenneth," she said gently,
"would it help if you told me about
. . . about what happened in San
Francisco?" She was sorry immed
iately that she had asked. His eyes
fastened on her face in terror and
he Jerked his shoulders painfully,
convulsively.
"What do you know about San
Francisco?" he gasped.
"Why . . . why, I didn't know
for sure it was San Francisco," said
Prisellla, trying to soothe him. "I
was just guessing. There, there.
You don't have to tell me. It isn't
Important for me to know.
Kenneth was so agitated as a
result of her question and hei
correct guess that Priscilla had a
hard time calming him. She drew
up a chair to his bedside and sat
there until she was sure the sleep
ing tablet was taking effect.
Priscilla did not ask him again
about the San Francisco incident.
April crept by and May budded
Into being with a Joyousness Pris
cilla's heart could not match. She
walked to work every morning un
mindful of the sunlight shining on
her and t noon, when the other
girls asked her to joiri them for
lunch, she declined politely. Every
day she went off by herself to a
email eating place on a side street.
avoiding carefully the cafeteria
where she had met Dennis that day
so long ago . . . two dreary months
ago , . . seventy aeons ...
pne day she had a telephone
call at the office. The minute she
fieard her mother's voice, she knew
tears were being wilfully put into it.
It was an old trick her mother
had played on her father, that
tearful voice, and now Priscilla
knew it was being tried out on
her.
"Priscilla, I heard . . . about
everything," Mrs. Hayden said. "I
Jus wanted to say that I don'l
see any reason for you to make
a servant of yourself at the Kents'
Lorraine has a new baby, you
know," she continued rapidly, for
getting to make her voice catch.
"and you might Just as well come
home and help us out as stay ,at
the Kents and be a servant . . ."
Priscilla cut it shortly, not carinr
whether the switchboard operator,
or anybody, might be listening. "I
may Just as well be a servant one
place as the other," she said firmly
and hung up. Let Mother assimilate
that, she thought. She needn't
th4nk she can boss me the way she
bused Dad. And yet . . . people
were bossing her fn a sense . . .
she wasn't free . , . Was she being
strong in staying with Kenneth
now ... or was she Just being
ineffectual, unable to nlnn her own
life and have it go the way she
wanted It? She felt she must make
some opportunity to see Dennis
soon, to talk things over.
That night Kenneth changed
from the meek person he had re
cently been and made himself as
ovucuit as possible, demanding
that she glva him both a drink of
whisky and a sleeping pill.
"You've had enough whisky
for today," Priscilla told him.
"Don't you want to get well?"
"Aw, you can't fool me none. I
ln't never gonna get well."
"Don't talk like that Kenneth.
Ysh'II get well If yon take care
of yourself. The doctor snvs In
another week you can sit up." Tills
was true. Whpe Kenneth's face had
not lost any of its haggardness.
there was every reason to believe he
would soon be up In a wheel chair
and . . . after that . . . crutches. . .
"Listen," Kenneth yelled sud
denly, as If to prove In spite of
his words that he was indeed get
ting better, "I wanna glass of
whisky and you better damslght
bring It here."
Priscilla lost her temper. "Look
here, Kenneth," she said, "I don't
iiave to stay here. I only came to
help out. II you cant talk oe
cendy, I'll leave."
Their raised voices brought Mrs.
Kent, Pop, and Dora into the bed
room. Mrs. Kent ran over to her
son's bedside. "What's the matter?"
she cried. "What's Priscilla doing to
you?"
I m not doing anything to him,"
cvxclalmed Priscilla Indignantly
"And If he can't appreciate what
I'm doing for mm, I'm going to
This last remark seemed to hit
where it did the most good. DesDite
her antipathy toward Priscilla at
a daughter-in-law, the sharer of
her son's affections, she evidently
did not want her to leave.
Oh ... oh. I guess we'd best
not Interfere," she said and prompt
ly turned the temper she had In
tended lor priscilla toward Dora
and Pop. "Dora," she scolded, "it's
past your bedtime. Why ain't you
never ready lor bed when It's
'.Ime to go? And you, too." she
snapped at Pop, you and your bad
heart. You can always stay up
wnen you want to , . ." She
herded them out of the room
literally snapping at their heels.
Kenneth fell back on his pil
low, exausted by the excitement.
I'm sorry. Priscilla," he said weak
ly, "but I'll never be no good again."
Again Priscilla felt that deep
Oity for him. She gave him his
sedative, which he took meekly
enough, and then he went back to
Dora's room where the chi d was
slowly getting undressed. Priscilla
sat down on the side of the bed.
"Priscilla."
"Yes. Dora."
Dora's slow mind was evidently
wonting on a mmcuic connection
"Do you know why I think Ken
neth feels bad tonight?"
wo. wny should he feel anv
worse tnan usual?"
Those men were here todav.
