Chapter II
HEART TO HEART
"TJORaiVENESS u up to yon, San
, ta." ald Clive. 'To kin ind
cuddle Isn't forgiveness. Before ona
can forgive, ona naeda to under-
Itand. It ona doesn't uproot the
causes' of dliaatar, ha walks
straight out and tumblaa into the
lams traps."
"There oughtn't to ba traps on
the road to heaven," she whispered.
"Don't got you."
"Tour road to heaven you called
me."
"Did If My ateep ascent to
heaven would ba closer to facts. I
expect that'a how I appear to you."
"No, Cllve. Every day you grow
fearer.
"Can't wa stop exaggerating?" Ha
bit his lip. "There are thlnga wa
ought to learn about each other."
She became wide-eyed and panicky.
"On my honor, I'va never kept
any secrets."
"Only tha onea that I'ra prevented
you from tailing. On what grounds
did you obtain your divorce from
Dakr
"You could have learned that any
time. You would never allow ma to
mention him. Tha grounds were
cruelty."
"What constitutes crualtyr
"Tha phrase Is elaatle. It can In
clude anything from yawning to
feeding vitriol to babies."
"It could Include, for Instance, the
scene we're now enacting?"
She flung herself at htm, heedless
of whether her embraces were Ig
nored. "Tha fool I've bean to kill your af
fection I"
For tha first time ha oaaaad to
look through, her. Her soft arms
.were about him. The weight of her
body dragging on him. Her held
was thrown back, her faca implor
ing. Sha was no longer tha master
ful young matron who'd sailed
ahead, shaping both thalr Uvea. She
waa yielding, adorable, adoring.
Stooping to her long, white throat,
he mat her half way In forgiveness,
Not a word spoken.
He laughed, and snatched his
dressing-gown from tha bed and
wrapped It around her.
"And now where shall I seat
you?"
"I'll flop." Collapsing oross-leg-
ged on tha carpet, aha grimaced up
at him. "It smells of you I mean
tha dressing-gown. It smells of for
giveness. I won't bleat. Let's have
what's coming to me."
"Coming to us both," he correct
ed. "I wish you'd smoke do some
thing- natural. Here!" He banded
her hla lighted cigarette.
Belling his fingers, the drew her
Hps across them.
"I daren't be tender." He patted
her, head and dived for the chair
ha had vacated.
Having regained It, he crouched,
shaking a finger at her as though
she were a puppy.
"I mean business o let's cut out
the pathoa and tha comedy. Yester
day you walked out on me and I
didn't find It a bit funny. Today
your guilty conscience haa made
you afraid that I'll do the aame by
you. It you were only trying to
throw a scare Into me, you were
Idiotic. I might have taken your
distaste for me at face value. .
"That'a how divorcee start, by
ona party taking tha otber'a actions
at faca value. Perhaps I haven't
been easy to live wltb. At first I
didn't earn enough to contribute
my proper share. Then losing my
Job. Aa regards your previous mar
riage, I own I haven't been reason
able." "You've bees a Iamb," aha
purred; Tm tha ona who's been
unreasonable. But why did you ask
ma on what grounds I got rid of
, Dicky!"
"Because" He Interrupted
himself. "You're not playing the
game, Banta; you're edging nearer.
Because I've found him to be an
exceedingly pleasant fellow."
"Party manners." She shook her
head. "Try being married to him.
Toss me another cigarette."
"But the aama thing might be
aid of me, dearest that any
plaasantneaa I possess la party man
ners. It I allow my wife to con
tract the habit of bolting, where
do I get off?"
"Get thla Into your thick head."
Surreptitiously sha shortened tha
distance that separated them.
"You're not Dicky. Dicky and I
(lew apart because we were never
really married."
"Aa much married as you and
I," he insisted. "More so, if It comes
to that Bridesmaids, music. No
back history. You're a matrimonial
Houdinl that's' where you have
me at a disadvantage. I married to
stay married; you've had experi
ence In escaping. Any time I atick
up for my rights, aa I did yesttr
day, you can put me where Jo
want ma by threatening to repnt
the disappearing act."
"But I won't never again, f
promise." ,
She had wriggled her way to Us
knees till she leaned against them.
His aloofness was melting. He wa;
sinking under her spell.
"You think you won't, Banta. But
how can I be sure? Your home
training waa bad. I'll never become
a yes-arttst like your father."
She took bis hand that was near
est and began to toy with It, folding
and unfolding tha fingers.
"I wouldn't stay with you an
hour If you were." ,
He chuckled.
"And yet a yos-artist's .what
you've tried to make me."
"Hiring thla apartment," she ac
cused herself. "Furnishing It with
things that belonged to me and not
to us."
"And tagging after your divorced
husband," he added to the Indict
ment "la that fair?" Sha glanced up
quickly. "I didn't tag after him."
"It Isn't." He bent , over her,
pressing his cheek against hers.
"He stole back Into your life by a
series of accidents. If I'd been will
ing to talk about him -"
She seized the excuse,
"Not talking about him made him
a guilty secret"
"And guilty secrets lead to de
ception," Cllve helped her.
"Not to deception," sae fumbled;
"to something that you construed
as deception. When you discovered
that he was the person who was
anxious to employ you, of course It
looked
He jerked her. She raised her
self, staring at him In fascination.
"What do wa care how It
looked?" Hla voice waa ' husky.
"From tonight everything's going
to be not me or you, but us."
Intoxication followed.
"So happy!" she sighed.
Later in bed, watching him un
dress, she asked, "Why did you let
Dicky entertain us?"
He paused in the removal of his
studs. '
"You won't be angry?"
"Of course not."
"You won't he hurt?"
"Honest"
"Because I . thought be a.iJ I
were in the aame boat a pair of
discards. It made me sympathetic."
She stretched out her arms.
"Come here. Imbecile."
Nearly suffocated, he spluttered:
"Most married couples are Im
beciles, I guess."
Next morning came reaction. He
gazed at the sweet flushed face. It
waa extraordinary how much
younger Santa looked In bed than
In her clothea. She became Imma
ture angelic The artifices she em
ployed to Improve her appearance
disguised her. Speech spoiled her.
Asleep, when she couldn't inter
fere with herself, sha waa at her
best And this ethereal creature,
fragile, holy, was the antagonist he
had chosen with whom to bandy
words.
Taunts hurled In the beat of com
bat recoiled to wound him. Matri
monial Houdinl! His steep ascent
to hearenl Any reproach addressed
by a man to a woman waa at least
twice aa offensive aa the same re
proach addressed by a woman to a
man.
He heard again his rapler llke
thrusts: on what grounds had she
won her divorce. He saw himself
cold and torturing the Just per
son, the Inquisitor, tha French
comedy caricature of a husband.
His detestation of the role was
overwhelming. The Ignominy of
contending with a woman I And the
reward of his harshness had been

Her eyes opened.
"Hello, handsome!"
He bent over her.
"I'm ashamed." i
"Forget."
She drew down hla head.
Over breaktaat they framed a
constitution. No more suppressions,
no more reprisals. Every grievance
to be debated. Their future a per
