Chapter t
COLD MOONLIGHT
" OHD, yon can dance!" enthused
Jenny's partner, somewhat to
her aurprlie; tor the felt heavy
Urabed and out of beat with the
.piusic "Why don't yon so in for
idancing? Like me to get you a trial
at the Regal? They want girls there
tor their new revue."
"I'm afraid Georgia woulda't !et
me. She doesn't think I could stand
that sort of life. And she's so won
derfully kind; she's fed me and
llothed me. But"
.-a.- sound as though Oenrgle'i
jiilly were a grudging thing. Ant
i p. wasn't that. Never lb sc.
' "! should like to give you a birth
I cay party." He let little, swaylni
pauses creep bolween tbetr steps
I as though bis fancy baited In Hi
galL "I think there should be s
tree a very straight, dark, greet
tree standing in a clearing in a
forest with twenty-four silver can
dles on it And at the foot then,
would ba twenty-four parcels ties
with silver string, each holdini
something very delicate and rare
Except one wblch would be bulk
and sensible a white fur coat t
keep you sheltered from the snow."
"Snow?" In August?"
He met her eyes for the first time
since that long look at table.
"I suppose not No. Perhaps th
white glitter would be moonlight,
not snow. Very cold, very eleai
moonlight The absorbed. Intent
look darkened his eyes and then
waa gone. His glance left her and
went over his shoulder they had
been round the room and here waa
the table again. Garth Aveney con
templated Georgle, lazily gorgeous
against a loep blue curtain and
panel of old gold.
"sunlight and moonlight," he
said, as though to himself. With as
little ceremony as he had swung
her Into the dance he now half-guld-
"An urgent massage, madam."
"Amused herself by making a doll
of you, what?"
"Nothing of the kind." denied
! Jenny coldly. Selfishness was not
a motive she allowed anybody to Im
pute to Georgle; not even herself.
8be disliked Ryder the more for
merely grinning at her instead of
apologising.
Tha dance was over, was being
encored, jenny Ignored the encore.
.Their table was only a couple of
yards away and she went towards
it Behind ber the whisper of the
dance began afresh, humming and
lifting. She raised her bead and saw
Aveney getting to his feeL
She thought It a mere eourtesy
but he stepped down on to the dano-lng-floor
and she presumed he was
going to dance with Georgle.
He oame close to Jenny, put an
arm - round her and danced her
way.
She was so surprised that by the
time ahe found worda her feet had
taken her half round the floor and
then it soemed too late to protest.
"Don't you want to dance with
me?" he asked.
Tes, answered her heart oh,
Terr much I want to dance with
you. No, flashed her pride, no, I'm
not to be treated like this, first
neglected and then remembered as
boring duty. ...
"Don't you want to, Jenny Re
Tell?" She opened her lips to stammar
something and then that hint of
laughter hidden in him, some elu
sive yet Intimate mocqutrlt, sent
her blood faster through her reins
and she said rather daacdly: "I
don't think It matters, now, whether
t wanted to or not!" But she knew
that her running, hovering, eliding
feet In their sliver shoes were giv
ing her the lie. She was dancing
now aa she bad never danced with
Ryder Vale.
"Not your kind of a birthday par
ty at all." Ilia voice waa very quiet.
"What kind of birthday party would
you have liked It to be?"
She waa dumb, the song In her
heart saddened though lovely still.
People who didn't really belong
anywhere couldn't have birthday
parties but she couldn't tell that
to a man who had so openly fallen
Into lore with Oeorgle; because it
ed, half-lifted Jenny off the floor
and Into her chair,
Aftor what seemed a very long
time but was apparently not ten
seconds, Jenny discovered that she
was eating the food placed for her
during her absence and listening to
someone saying to Georgle: "An
urgent message, madam. Madam Is
wanted at the house In Rochester
Gate at once."
"Say I'm on the way," returned
Georgle.
Jenny collected herself and
looked up. She was used to these
messages that might come at any
hour and break up any gathering;
but she knew GeorRle liked people
to be sympathetic about them.
"What bad luck, Georgle dear!"
"Can't be helped, honey. This,
Mr, Aveney. Is the dark side of tha
'Job you say you envy me. , , .
Nothing you can do, thanks, unless
you'll go and tell 'em to get me a
taxi? Take care of Jenny, Ryder,
won't you?"
"I'd hoped we could all go on to
the Crescendo. Is thore any chance
of your Joining us?" Rydor asked.
Can't say, of course, but I'll cer
tainly go on there from Rochester
Gate if there's any night left. But
don't wait lrtnger than 12 Jenny
needs her sleep. Bye-bye, and tha
usual apologies and thanks!" A
gleam of apricot and gold and she
was gone.
Jenny returned to her dinner.
while Ryder Vale assured her and
himself that the party might yet be
saved. It was unlikely, he main
tained, that Old Man Matching
would start Georgle on a lengthy
Job ao late In the evening as this.
Jenny, knowing that her cousin
mljht well And several hours' work
awaiting her, murmured as hopeful
ly aa she could. Only a part of her
mind was listening to him, the rest
was waiting for Garth Aveney; to
come back.
He would have to talk to her now
that Georgle had gone. Sunlight and
moonlight. But moonlight wasn't
always cold oh, h wasn't! Unfair,
unkind, to call it cold.
