Chapter 21
DINNER DATE
rALLAS had that something that
creeps Into . gtrl'i mind. Into
her heart, Into her blood. Above
all. Into her Imagination. Jimmy
. Dallas was glamorous. He could
create an atmosphere, a mirage, a
light that never was. While It lasted,
you saw only blm; everything he
did was right; there was no other
world.
She smiled at him eagerly, as he
talked his characteristic lova-non-
sense to her, and held her at arms'
length, admiring her with bis
strangely shining brown-green eyes,
and playfully pretended to blta the
tiny velvet forget-me-not wreath
through which soma of ber rich
golden curls were threaded over
one ear, and said excitedly, "Flow
erface, I could eat you, you re so
pretty, you delicious little thing!
He asked her what she was going
to do, and was delighted that she
was to be In London tor a time.
"We'll have lots and lots of fun
I'm supposed to work at our London
offices. We'll have tbe most glorious
secret parties, you and I."
"Secret! What for!"
Jimmy looked at her with mock
dec pnlr.
"It'll have to be secret 1 must
make you understand. My father
must'nt know that I've got a dear
little pal like you. He'd simply go
off the deep end. My mother's
pet, but she can't stand up against
him. Nor can my sisters, except the
married one, and 1 don't trust her.'
"Have 1 got to keep you dark from
my sister?" Gladys asked.
"You said she was Albery's secre
tary, didn't you?"
Gladys nodded.
"I'm afraid you will, Flowerface
for a time. You see, Albery knows
my old man well. I can't take tbe
risk."
"You talk like a cowardly baby!
said Gladys nervously. Something
that she did not understand Id her
was offended. But she didn't want
to let him go.
"You don't know my father,
sweet. And I'm absolutely depen
dent on him. I shouldn't got a siblll-
Ing, If I rubbed him up the wrong
way. 1 tell you, It's a dog's lite,
keeping him quiet and managing to
have a little fun!"
"Out, If I'm not to tell Laurie, bow
shall we moot?" Gladys asked.
"We'll manage, don't worryl I've
got your address. It was your sister
I sat next to at dinner, I And," he
went on, with a half -smothered
laugh of amusoment. "A bit stand
offish and like a school Wrm, Isn't
she? Wouldn't approve of 1 1 ttl e
Jimmy, I'm afraid!" '
In that moment, through his light,
magnetic tempter's voice, the seed
of deception was sown In Gladys's
frivolous soul. She knew that Laurie
wouldn't approve of Jimmy Dallas.
Bhe would have to manage so that
her sister didn't know of their meet
ings. CHE did not tell him at the Inct
J dent of Laurie' s finding the gold
elgaretcase, and that she had spoken
of him as Jimmy Smith. What a silly
old tyrant his father must bet
"Jimmy, do you really love me?"
ihe asked, as they strolled back. A
doubt was In her voice. "You know
If we're going to keep It a secret
that we know each other, I ought to
be sure."
"Flowerface, can you be surer?
Don't you know you're the only girl
In the world?"
"Do you think you'll want to
marry me?"
"Do I think?" His voice dropped.
It had that soft, sultry note that
conveya so much more than words.
"But It couldn't be yet."
"I don't care! She spoke grandly
In her Ignorance of life. "I don't
want to get married yet, either. I
want to see a bit of the world."
"We'd better go In." he said.
"Now. you understand, don't you?
And I can trust you not to give the
show away?"
"I'm not a fool, thanks."
"Tomorrow morning I'll come snd
take you out for a spin and we can
make the plans how to meet"
"Aren't you rather too daring, Mr.
Dallas?" she mocked. "Supposing
Mr. Albery told your father?"
He gave her a playful slap.
STANTON
"Monkej
said.
You're adorable!" n
But, In case you don't knot
It Albery told me he'd asked mi
over tonight especially to amusi
you."
At which they both laughed mer
rily, and Gladys raced him to th
house, as Beet as Atalanta, a pall
blue streak of light under the'moon
a thing of exquisite grace.
On the Monday afternoon Laurie
and Gladya went back to London.
All Sunday morning Laurie had
worked, partly with Mr. Albery,
but tor a longer period transcribing
some Important specifications. Al
bery congratulated her several
times, and seemed genuinely sur
prised at her intelligence.
On the Tuesday she went to the
office as usual, expecting her em
ployer to come up from Cambridge
shire. Che was told by his right
hand man that he bad telephoned
early to say that he would not be
at the office until the afternoon.
She waited as no further news
came, and It was about Ave o'clock
when he turned up.
"You have heard from Moore?"
was his first question when she was
summoned to bis room.
"No."
"I've Just had a wireless from
Marseilles. I couldn't understand
what he was doing, not getting
back before this, but It seems poor
Wilmer Jones went down wltb fever,
and Moore had to bring him to Mar
seilles by easy stages. lie says he's
coming on as soon as he's settled
him In a nursing home there. Tbe
missing men are doing as well as
possible In hospital on the Coast."
HOW long will be be?"
Laurie.
asked
"He doesn't say. I should think
he'd get off today or tomorrow. 1
thought you would be bound to have
heard."
"No," said Laurie again. She felt
unaccountably hurt She had not
had a word from him all tbe time.
He might have kept up appear
ances, as he had Insisted on her
doing so.
'1 expect you'll And a message
when you get home," said Albery
consolingly, with that nolo of friend
ly Interest In bis voice that he so
carefully cultivated. "I'm sorry I'm
late, Mrs. Moore, but I was delayed.
There are a few rather Important
letters. Do you mind staying for a
bit?"
Of course not, If you want me,
Mr. Albery," said Laurie. She was
always at ease In their purely busi
ness relationship.
"You havo an exceptionally clear
mind." he said to her, after he bad
ssked her a question at the end of
dictating several letters. "I should
think you could make decisions
quickly and wisely."
Laurie was pleased. She know she
was efficient. She had made herself
Albery looked at the clock. It was
after six.
Would you mind going on a little
longer, Mrs. Moore? There Is a re
port on this fuel that we were work
ing on on Sunday. It has to be typed
very carefully because the man has
made so many corrections after the
last test. It would be a groat ad
vantage for me If I can have It to
night."
Of course, I shall be dollchted,
Mr. Albery. I'll tnko It and do It at
once."
"Would It be oaslcr If I dictated
It?"
Laurie studied the sheets and
shook her head.
No. thank you: 1 would rather dc
It myself."
She went away, typed the letter!
first and took them to Albery, and
then became Immeraod In the tricky
work or typing the report. Time
passed without hor knowing It. Al
bery opened the door of her office,
and told hor it woa after seven.'
'It will do In the morning. Mrs
Moore."
Oh, no, 1 haven't much more to
do! Don't you wait Mr. Albery. I'll
bring It round to your flat when I've
done."
"No, I'll wait," he said.
When Laurie took the finished
report to him, he was alone In his
office. The groat building had gradu
ally fallen Into silence.
Thanks very much," he said.
And now you must let me give you
some dinner."
"Oh. no. Mr. Albery, thore'U be
some at home!"
But it's quite late aftor eliht
and I wanted to road this through.
t'lease, it would be a pleasure to me.
win just go through It and then
we will drive round to the Savoy."
