Chapter 10
SPLINTERED GLASS
JENNY drew a lone breath and
Aveney repeated softljr "Georgia
found you." He wai (taring at the
anapdragona m though they mes
morlzed him; aa though they helped
him to create the vision of Oeorgle
strong compassionate, generoui
Georgle finding ber.
"And ihe's taken care of you
ever since?" be asked presently.
(How black bis hair was! Itaven
black.) "Ever since. She heard of me
through the lawyers, you see, and
ehe spent heaps of time and money
tracking me down. She's done abso
lutely everything for me you can't
Imagine how royally kind Georgle
can he. She says she doesn't want
me to go away ever."
"Are you, thinking of going
way?"
Jenny hesitated. She had acci
dentally let Vale Infer that Georgle
Insisted on playing Lady Bountiful.
She mustn't do that wltb Aveney.
At the same time. It surely wasn't
necessary to let him consider
Georgle's cousin a helpless burden
trapped to Georgle's back for ever
and evermore?
"Yes," she said Anally. "I am
going away soon."
His sudden, Intent, half-amused
look was turned upon her. She
couldn't meet It fully. Her head
began sharply to ache and then her
heart was aching,, too, and aha had
an appalling fear that she was going
to cry. . . . She consulted ber wrist
watch. Georgle's gift.
"1 think 1 ought to go. It's ten
minutes to twelve." She rose, and
a he rose with her, she realised
how awkward it would be It ha sug
gested The next moment he had sug
gested It. "May I come with you?
Perhaps you and Miss Ravell would
lunch wltb me. There's very de
cent little place near here."
"I'm afraid we can't."
"Can't lunch?"
.lenny bit ber lip. It was loath
ome, having to evade him. She
determined that s'he wouldn't He
at the most she would leave gaps.
"Georgle and I are lunching with
a friend of ours," she said. "We're
meeting him In a few minutes."
Then she envisaged chance en
counter. "It's Mr. Townsend, the
airman," aha added.
"Oh, Townsend I That's the chap
I Just met. He took those he's Just
got back from bis trip."
She nodded. His manner waa
amused, almost mischievous; she
had the Impression that ha expected
her to say what? Something about
Eddie's flight Whatever It Was, she
had no clue to It , . . She began to
walk towards the street.
Far above them, graceful as gulls
tt sea, two biplanes swept out upon
the uncharted ways of the air.
Jenny watched their passage across
the nearer sky.
"You want me to clear out, don't
you, honestly?" demanded Garth
Aveney. Startled, she said "Yea."
"I mean," aba amended confused
ly, "Georgia will be awfully sorry
we can't lunch. Perhaps soma other
day only I'm afraid she'a so often
booked up."
A clock chimed twelve. Aa she
took to her heels and ran, aha dis
tinctly heard blra laugh; but ha did
got follow her.
"Get In, girls!" nrged Eddie.
"Sit In front, Jenny." Georgle's
voice was pitched low. She gave
Jenny little push toward tl seat
next to Eddie and herself laid a
hand upon the rear door of the bat
tered old car. "Hurry, pet I Some
people are staring already."
Jenny took an obedient step In
Eddie's wake and then halted.
There waa taint whisper In her
memory something that Georgle
had suggested last night, something
that bad been embarrassing, In poor
taste she could only half remem
ber It; but whatever It was, It
brought her to a halt on the baking
pavement "I'd rather sit with you,"
ha said and clambered Into the
back of the car with Ueorgle.
Georgia nusuud, began to se
something but tell silent She was
fidgeting with her glove, the glove
that covered the bright new ring.
Jenny's mind was still running on
the rather dreary ceremony during
wblcb Eddie had placed the ring
there. The second witness had been
a mechanic brought by Eddie and
sworn to secrecy. Jenny bad liked
his frank, cheerful face and had se
cretly agreed with him when, after
wishing Georgle happiness, he add
ed to the company In general
"Though It don't icem like a wed
ding at all!"
"It that traffic doesn't move In
two seconds and let us get away, I
shall climb out again and walk!" an
nounced Georgle. She sounded ner
vous and ber eyes were slipping
sidelong to the Idlers on the side
walk, most of whom had watched
the little party come out of the
building. In the doorway was
youth Jenny recognized aa one of
the clerks. He was evidently on hla
way to lunch. He stood Idly staring,
bis eyes on Eddie.
"Look out!" said Georgle sharply.
The traffic-block was breaking
and Eddie bad let In his clucth.
None too gently the car lurched
forward so suddenly that. In spite
of Georgle'a warning, Jonny was
jerked nearly out of ber seat Part
of Eddie's opinion of automobiles In
a congested street floated back to
her.
"He's tired," said Georgle apolo
getically. "A long flight and a wed
ding, all In about 14 boura, Is no
Joke. ... I wish ha hadn't borrowed
thla car he Isn't used to her."
Jenny had been coming to tbe
same conclusion. Eddie had stalled
his engine, started her up again,
braked sharply to avoid a boy and
was now wrestling with the gears.
Jenny noticed wltb secret amuse
ment that the clerk, on foot and
still staring, had drawn abreast of
them on the pavement ... At laat!
Challenging all the known laws of
time and space, Eddie hurled the
car round a corner into a wider
street He yelled a war-cry and
stepped on the gas. It crossed Jen
ny's mlud that Eddie bad fortified
himself against bis fatigue In Ed
die's approved fashion.
"Sure this Is the way?" shrieked
Georgle. Eddie only drove faster.
"Where are we supposed to be
going?" gasped Jenny, clutching
her bat
"Out of town for a late lunch and
then back to the apartment tor an
even later tea. . . . He's going too
fast!"
The long street was flashing by.
Jenny gasped again, tore off her hat
and clung to the car-side Instead.
"Ho's going too fast," repeated
Georgle and through the rush of
their speed Jonny heard alarm and
anger In her voice. "Eddie, you fool,
ease up!"
Jenny felt' quite sure that there
was an Important crossing at the
bottom of this street She had keen,
long sight and she bad very dis
tantly, seen a bus cross the end of
the vista. . , , Now surely Eddie
should be braking down for tbe cor
ner? But Eddie was not braking
apparently he couldn't find or
couldn't manage the brake
Goorgle's scream and the splinter
of glass and the thunder of the sec
ond bus as they went buckling and
splintering Into It all came to
gether In Jenny's ears. They made
a great blare that was followed by a
greater silence. After that, the
whole world seemed full of people
running. Running towards nor.
"That's done It, absolutely," said
Georgle's voice, coming apparently
from nowhere. "There won't be an
evening paper that won't tell the
Old Man all about us. Good-bye to
my Job!"
Very slowly Jeuny moved and, as
It were, woke up. She was still
clutching the side of tbe car, atlll
sitting on the back seat In the left
hand corner, by a miracle quite un
hurt Now that the Impact was
over, she felt almost ordinary. The
extraordinary things were happen
ing; but not to ber.
For Instance, Georgle waa drag
ging herself oft the floor, a red mark
ovor one eye and her hat torn from
her head. And Eddie she took a
full minute to understand that all
those people on the further side of
the road must he kneeling and
standing round Eddie. Eddie, she
supposed, bad gone clean through
the wind-shield. Not so very clean.
The few remaining Jags of glass
were smeared with red.
The sight galvanised Jenny. She
clambered over Georgle and out of
what bad been the rear of tbe car
and dived at the group on the pave
ment Ehe pushed and pulled them
aside and there was Eddie. Flat
on hla back; a man bending over
him; a great deal of blood.
