Chapter Eight HOME FACTS I IHEN Georgia got back to taer ' cabin that night she found Nelly Foster already there, smearing cream on a face that was disfigured by weeping. Georgia shut the door and stood with her back to It tor a moment, then she laughed a little hysteric ally. Nelly turned round. "What are you laughing at?" she demanded sharply. VYou look o Manny," Georgle aid. Nelly flushed. "Well, you're been bowling too," she said defiantly. "I know." Oeorgie aat down on the side ot the bed and sighed. "What do we do next?" she de manded. "Do!" Nelly acrewed the lid on the cream pot with Tlclous Onsen. "I know what I do right enough. I go back to tba shop and serve nasty eld women who treat me as 11 1 were dirt, from nine to six." Georgle leaned her chin In her hand. ."How did you get such a long hoi Iday?" she asked Interestedly. "Doctor's certificate," the elder girl answered briefly. "I had a rile cough and be thought I was con sumptive. The bead floorwalker at our place likes me too, and that helped. He'd marry me If be could." , "Why cau't be7" : "Because he's got a wife." "And would you marry him!" Georgia asked. Nelly shrugged tbln shoulders out of ber cheap camisole. "Don't know. He's not' bad, but BO matter how he's dressed or wher ever he is, you could always swear be was a floorwalker. "He might be kind," Georgle sub :'Ob, he's kind enough," Nelly greed with weary acorn. "But you want something more than that at least I do. Aren't you going to un dress?' "I suppose so." Georgle .lpped cut ot her crimson frock, and held it lip . at arm's length, regarding It with rather wistful eyes. "Nicholas Boyd said I look like a robin," she said. . Nelly laughed. . "He wouldt He's been well trained. ' Hare you been crying about hlra? ' she demanded. "Yes." "Why?" "I don't know. I think life's aw fully sad." "It's a swindle, that's what It is," Kelly asserted rather violently, tine waa silent for a moment, brushing ber abort e'.ralght hair with rather unnecessary violence, then ahe turned around again. " SUPPOSE Boyd has told you quits nicely and kindly that wben you get to Southampton it's all orer, eh?" "I am golna to see Mr. Boyd gain," Georgle said quietly. "Oh, are you? Well, you've chased blm enough," Nelly said with blunt candor. Georgle'a eyes grew distressed. "Do you think I hare?" ahe Igbed. "And yet 1 baren't chased blm In the rhy you mean. It's been In quite a different way." "There Is only one way," Nelly d dared stolidly. "Men only ever want you (or one thing; besides, he's married. I've seen bis wife. She's like a fairy." "A rery cheap fairy then," Georgle aald quickly, then abe alghed again. "That waa beastly of me," she said. "I expect she's frightfully nice when joa know her." "Nlcel" Nelly was scornful. "Nice! and leuroi that poor devil ot man to come all this way alone?" Do you know" ahe grew suddenlv mysterious. "My belief Is, that he doesn't ever mean to get to South ampton at all." "What do you moan?" "Only that many a better man than be la has gone overboard just before the boat gets In," Nelly de clared. "It's the kind ot thing a fallen Sim star would do, make a picturesque exit, and mind you, I don't blame him." Georgle said nothing; she was (It-1 ting very still, her eyes downcast, her slim body suddenly tense. Nelly went on, "You won't ever see blm ag '-i any more than I shall ever see you. 'Ships that pass In the clsbt,' that'a what we are." "But I Jhall see you again," Georgle said quietly. "1 want you to come and stay with me If you will." "Stay with you?" The two girls looked at one anoth er silently for a moment, then sud denly Nelly begun to weep. "You don't really mean It. t know it we hadn't had to share a cabin you wouldn't have spoken to me at all. It's kind of you to say you'll ask ui, but I know you won't when it comes to the point." "I don't think you know mncb about anything," Georgie said comic ally. "You're got everyone and ev erything all wrong. Lite Isn't halt so bad If you won't let It be. And," Georgie went on positively, "You're quite wrong If you think I'm In love with Mr. Boyd." Nelly climbed Into bright pink pyjamas. "Alright, have It your own way," she said. "I'm going to bed." "And when will you come and stay with me? I'll give you my ad dress before we land, and you must let me know when you are free." ('Weekends are my only time." Nelly said; she sat on the side ot the bed, one -foot already under the sheet. "I say, do you mean it?" she asked again tensely. "Of course I do." The foot came out again, and Nel ly took an -impulsive dive across tbe narrow cabin and dropped a halt shamed kiss on Oeorgle's cheek. "Well, you're decent," she said. "Goodnight." She disappeared beneath the bed clothes. GEORGIE finished undressing and lay down. She had never felt more wide awake In ber life. "Many a better man than be Is has gone overboard just before tho boat gets In" Nolly'a words haunt ed her. It was all nonsense of course; Nicholas Boyd waa not that sort ot man not a coward! and yet, well he certainly hadn't much left to live for, not now. He wasn't anybody any more, and It was quite possible that even bis wife bad turned blm down. How could a woman be so cruel? A woman who had shared his suc cess too. Georgle'a heart ached for the man wno had said to ber so quietly, am', without a vestige ot self-pity. "You're a little fool, Robin, a bigger little tool than even I took you tor if yon can squeeze out s single tear tor an ugly, acarred dovll who has toppled off bis brass pin nacle Into obscurity." That was tta only time be bad over spoken about himself to her; no, he was not a coward.' Lite might hare knocked him down, but Georgle was sure it could nerer master him; he would take up the broken threads and make something out of them, even If he had to do It alone. But 1 believe I shall be there to help blm." she told herself. "Some thing In me tells me quite surely that I shall be there to help blm." She tell asleep at last, full of quiet confidence, the only trouble being that when she awoke next morning life did not seem quite so simple. She could not find Nicholas though she bunted fio decka for blm. It was raining a little and tbe soa was groy and rather choppy. People were packing and the gangways and passages were al ready stacked with big trunks and suit-cases. Georgie wandored about on Boyd's deck peering at tbe labels on all the big trunks (she was sure that Nicholas vould bave quantities ot luggage) but wben at last she found a trunk that bore hla name, It was simply labelled "London." And London was eucb a big placel Her undo had once told ber that If a man wished to hide, It was siifor to go out of his own bouse and Into the one next uoor than to go to Lon don and hope to be lost, but on the other band Mrs. Lovelock wbo cooked and cleaned the house and got ber own way In everything, bad always declared that nobody could ever find you In London If you didn't want them to. "You can walk about London for a month and nerer see a soul you know," she bad once told Georgle. "London's the loneliest place In the world for all that It's supposed to have five million people In It." (Copyright, 1933. Doubleday Doran) NlehoUl rebuff! Qtorgie'i frltnd Iv advancts. tomorrow.
