or rather, aecker and nockev—
along the primrose path of dalli­
ance, aroqsed at least a point of
pride.
It was not that she cared, Joan
avowed to herself, but it would
ve been so much more decent if
s thing had been done with clean
hands—if Ranny had patten a dk
voroe and given her the freedom
she needed to consummate her new
love without deception.
One thing she had always ad­
mired about Ranny was his consist­
ent disinterestedness in women *
since their marriage, even after
their quarrels had attained the
s ta tu of utter and unbridgeable
Incom patahUity. Much as Joan had
wanted the divorce she secretly ad­
mired the lunate fineness which
hod kept Saaay from illict liutona.
Now auddaaly, in <ms fell swoop,
Ranwr'had apparently c u t aside
all his Inhibitions and reverted to
crude aad unrefined first princi­
ples.
But there were compensations la
being disillusioned, Joan felt, tor
over and above her hurt pride she ■
grew oonsetau of a een u of being
unshackled.
Heretofore Banny’s exemplary
loyalty to their marriage vows, add­
ed to her own spirit about such
things, had kepi her from cheating.
Now, divorce or no divorce, she
considered that ltaany^a patent d e ­
sertion of his irt s s ls . hla iapu from
their Joint loyaltiaa, unlettered bar
own actions.
