He nettoed Charley’s hat placed
ever Hack BreathiU’s face.
She said: “ You know about Hack?
Of course—you came from there.”
He sank into.the chair, his long
legs pushed forw ard She stood near
him, looking down. She put her
hands before her, locked together,
and for a moment she had the ex­
pression of a little girl on her face,
half-wistful and half-stormy. She
said: “Ydu shouldn't—you shouldn’t.
Suppose it bad been you instead of
Hack? And when you meet Heren­
deen. which one w ill It be?, You are
sure to meet. Everybody knows that.
It is as certain and as brutal as
death. Well, it is death
Clay, is
there anything 1 can say to stop
you?”
“ No. not now. Ann.”
“Not now. and not at any tim e.”
she added quietly
“ I have never
been able to change you
Never
In any way at all.”
He said: "Why worry about it?”
You know fhe pretty well
1 know
you pretty well. Let’s be satisfied
with tkat.”
She walked away from him At a
corner of the room she turned, fac­
ing him over the distan s. “What
do yod’ know about me ’ What do
you really know?”
“ I told you once, and you didn't
like it.”
“ When you said it. Clay, you nev­
er meant IL It was a joke—and I
hated you.”
He shook his head, puzzled and
gently amused at her. “ There is Are
enough in you to bum up the town.
You swing like the weather—never
still. You could be the kind of a
woman, I think, to throw fum ifure
at a men when you got mad. You
could crucify him—if you loved him
And be sorry afterwards. I guess.”
“Oh. Clay." she said, humbly,
“not a scold—not a spitfire “
“ No,” he admitted.
“Just Ann
McGarrah who wants things per­
fect.”
Her eyes grew darker and dark­
er.
“C lay.” she said, near to a
whisper, "you don't mean to be cru­
el. but you are. If—’’ She shrugged
her shoulders, quickly changed the
subject. “ How’s Janet?”
"All right. Catherine came up to
see her today.” He watched ¿tillness
come to her face, a listening in­
tentness. a coolness holding away
her dislike. Tbert he said. “They
seem to get along mighty well.”
She saidL “ Don’t you want cof­
fee?”
' '
“Better get back and see how Lige
is making out.” he said, coming to
his feet
She walked toward him. She stood
In front of him, quite near—this
small, supple girl so intense and so
crowded with willful pride.
She
was dark, she was vivid; her lips
were red and firm across her oval
face and he caught the fragrance of
her hair and was affected by it.
Looking up, she drew a long, long
breath. He qever was able to de­
fine tlfi look he saw in her eyes that
night—it was like fear or shame, or
like a woman forcing herself over
some obstacle she dreaded.
Her
voice was taut and very slow
“ It
is hard to learn some things, Clay
Hard to learn that sometimes noth­
ing comes by waiting, or by pray­
ing. And very hard to find out that
a woman has to change as she swore
the could never change. All that I
am la right here in front of you. but
it never has been enough—just to
be in front of you. Is it somethin*
cold about me, or something of an
old maid in me? I don’t know But
only once did I ever see anything
In your eyes that I put there. That
was when I wore a dress which left
m y shoulders bare. I was a woman
to you that night.”
She lifted her arms. They touched
hte shoulders and lay there, with
the smallest pressure in them, pull­
ing him. He saw her lips lengthen
and part, he saw her eyes widen,
as though she opened herself to him
completely. .Reaching forward he
kissed her, catching the force of her
sudden-giving body. But even then
there was a difference, a strain, a
lack. When he stepped back they
both knew IL She caught her brea:h
sharply, turning away. And said in
a dulling voice: “No, not for me.
Well, good-by.”
