Chapter SO
WORD FROM GERMANY
IT WAS a day or two following
her meeting with Bernle Boyd
tbat Georgia ran Into Nelly Foster.
There wai a cold Eaat wind blow
ing, and Kelly waa harrying along,
the collar of her cheap coat held
closely about her chin, and her note
s trifle blue.
She gave one glance at Georgle
and would have paaeed on, only
Oeorgle barred the way.
"Nelly don't yon remember
me?"
It waa only a lew weekt alnce
they had met, but 10 much had
happened that It seemed to Oeorgle
as If years must bare passed since
she had taken tea In Nelly's crowded
little room.
"I thought perhaps you didn't
want me to speak," Nelly said, and
then, ''My word, aren't you smart
"Am I?" Georgle glanced down at
her clothes; she supposed with faint
satisfaction that they were rather
nice.
Nelly said defensively, "I thought
you'd done with me, putting me off
that week-end as you did, and then
not writing."
"Such a lot of things have hap
pened," Georgle said. "I'll tell you
all about It Come and have some
coffee.
They were outside an expensive
looking Bond Street tea shop and
Oeorgle had turned towards Its
door before Nelly said quickly:
"Not In there, thank you. I'm not
dressed for places like that."
Georgia felt rebuked; until re
cently she would not hava dared to
enter suoh a shop herself. She
thought It was wonderful how quick
ly one grew acclimatised to changed
conditions.
"Well And another, then," she
aid.
Nelly went with her silently, her
yea on Georgle'a dainty clothes,
and as sooa as they were seated at
one of ho marble topped tables she
broke out. "Has someone left you a
fortune?"
"No, nobody," Georgle said. "But
I'm living with my mother now and
she's well off."
"Oh. Do you like ltr
Oeorgle sighed. "Sometimes I do,
and sometimes . . well, I sup
pose people always want the things
they can't have."
"I shouldn't have thought there
was much you couldn't have," Nel
ly ssld shortly. She was feeling a
little sore; life had dealt her many
unkind knocks, but somehow she
had expected Oeorgle to be differ
ent from other people, and appar
ently she was Just the tame.
Oeorgle seemed to read her
thoughts, for she said with sudden
earnestness: "I've never forgotten
you; do..'t think that. But It's been
so difficult to do aa I want to do. I
suppose people never can when
they've got a mother to consider,"
she added quaintly.
"I don't see what difference It
makes," Nelly said; she wss stir
ring her coffee rather viciously. "I
see your Nicholas Boyd has had an
operation," she said,
GEORGIA'S eyes fl ..' open wide.
"Where did you see ltt" she
asked breathlessly.
"Oh, In the paper. Just a Uny para
graph about him. I suppose you
knew though," she added malicious-
by.
"Which papert" Oeorgle asked.
1 Nellie fumbled In the pocket of
her coat and produced a crumpled
newspaper.
"It's aomewhera there," she said.
She watched Interestedly while
Oeorgle searched every column.
"Has ha thrown you overt" aba
asked suddenly.
Oeorgle shook her head. '
' Nelly gave a short laugh.
"And you wouldn't admit It any
way If he did," she said.
Oeorgle had found the tiny para
graph, and was devouring It with
hungry eyes.
It waa a very tiny paragraph,
probably only put in at all to flu
up an awkward space, and It gave
the brief announcement:
"Nicholas Boyd, the Dim star, who
has recently retired from his screen
activities, underwent an operation
in Berlin yesterday. Ha Is said to
be doing aa well as oan be ex
pected." "Appendicitis I suppose, wasn't
it?" Nelly said. "It's what they all
seem to have when they want a
bit of publicity, but I don't see why
he need have gone to Germany for
it. 8l!ly, I call It" She glanced at
Georgle'a untouched bun. "You're
not eating," she said.
"I'm not hungry," ' Oeorgle an
swered. "I don't really want It."
"I'll have It for you," Nelly said
quickly, so quickly and eagerly that'
Georgle asked In swift concern:
"Haven't you bad any breikfaat?
Nelly laughed rather mirthlessly.
"No, I haven't. I'm economising"
she paused, and washed down a
mouthful ot bun with some coffee
before she added with bravado. "I'm
out of a lob."
"Oh!" Georgia's face waa beau
tiful In Its concern. "But you'll get
another Job?"
"Shall I? Good i. ess My knows."
"You mean you cant get a Job?"
Qeorgie asked In horror. "How
long is H since yos left the other
place?"
"A fortnight; but dont 70a wor
ry about me, I shall be all right.
Tell me about yourself."
But Georgle could think of noth
ing but her friend's tragedy.
"I'll ask Bishop," she said eagerly.
"He's my stepfather, and I should
think he knows nearly everybody
In London. The telephone Is going
all day, and we get heaps of visitors.
He's nice. I'm sure he'll flnl yon a
Job If I ask him."
Nelly made a little grlmaoa.
"He might tell you that he would
try, because you're pretty and hs
probably likes you, but he won't be
ao keen when he's seeu me. Men
an all the same, It you havon't got
a silly, dolly face they don't think
you're any good. However, It's kind
of you to suggest It, the added.
Nelly touched the sleeve ot Geor
gia's coat "It must have cost a lot"
aha said. "It's better than anything
we ever kept In our p'.aoe. It cost
at least 125, didn't It?"
I'M NOT aura," Georgle said. She
knew that It had cost a good deal
more than the $25, which seemed
the height ot costliness to Nllr,
and it made her feel a little
ashamed. Surely It waa not right foi
one girl to spend so much money on
mere clothes while another girl
went without her breakfast?
"You can have the newspaper 11
you like," Nelly said, aa Georglf
still kept It In her had. "I've oul
out the advertisement page, and
that's all I bought It for."
Georgle thanked her aa grate
fully as If she bad Just been pre
sented with the Crown Jewels
It you're sure you don't want
it," ahe was careful to aek.
Nelly ate the last crumb on her
plate, following It up with a loaf
of sugar from the basin.
"And now I'll be going," she said.
Georgle hesitated, then s-id dlf-
flJently. "I hope you won't mind,
but won't you let me lend yon a
little money, Just till you get an
other Job."
Nelly flushed and drew on her
glove with a vigorous tug.
'No, thanks; thanks all the same.
I've never borrowed money yet and
I'm not going to start: thanks all
the same. I'm all right: don't you
worry."
But Oeorgle worried a great deal;
there was a heavy cloud on her ho
rizon as she went slowly back to the
hotel. Life seemed so terribly un
balanced, like a see-saw; you were
either up in the full glare ot popu
larity or else you were down In the
darkness; to her sensitive mind
Nicholas Boyd and Nelly Foster
seemed suddenly to have Joined
hands and to be standing together
looking at her with unt lendly eyes.
So Nicholas had had his operation
and waa doing aa well as oould be
expected; she wondered what tbat
meant Sba knew It was the kind
of thing doctors always said about
alck people, and yet Nicholas was
not exactly sick in the ordinary
way.
Her heart seemed to bj straining
away from her body in a vain at
tempt to reach him; ahe wondered
It they were kind to him; It they
had hurt him very much and, most
ot all, It they had been successful In
making his face well again.
Not that It mattered. To her at
least ha would always be dear and
beautiful whatever happened, per
haps a little more dear It he waa al
ways to be the "ugly devil" he had
once doscrlbed himself.
She searched the hotel till she
found her stepfather.
