QUARREL ;
pMILY paused before the book'
case, seeking solace there.
"I wonder what's become of 'In
the Beginning'?" She was speaking
is much to herself as to Edwin.
There was no way, of course, for
him to know what had become of a
rolume of Norman Douglas.
His paper rustled and was silent
at last Edwin said: "1 burned It"
She turned and stared at blm.
'You what?"
"1 burned !(," he repeated dog
gedly.
Emilys eyes were almost black.
"What precipitated that triumph

He explained, almost sullenly. "I
aeari you telling someone how much
'ri enjoyed it, and when 1 went to
Birmingham last week I took It
Hong to read. It was the vilest book
ever tried to read."
Her eyes never left his face.
'"Honl solt," she murmured, and
(topped abruptly.
"What did you say ?"
"Nothing. 1 was Just quoting a
proverb that attributes evil to him
rho evil thinks."
"There was no question about the
ivll there," he said hotly. "A book
vhlch dealt, too graphically, with
icenes a man hardly discusses with
lis own wife. The fact that the
icenes transpired between gods and
foddesses didn't lessen their Impro
priety." "No." Her voice was soft, thought
lul. "In the midst of all that beauty
four medieval mind would notice
Ihe dirt."
He dropped the newspaper, stung
tato real bitterness. His motive in
iBsaylug the book had been praise
worthy; he wanted, In his lnartlcu
. late way, to acquaint himself with
Ihe things that Interested Emily, and
this was his reward.
"You can't resist slurring me, can
fou? And yet you can enjoy a book
lo suggestive that I was ashamed"
"To have It In your bouse!" She
matched the words from bis Hps and
Dung them at him. "Shall we draw a
Hue down the middle of It, Edwin,
and let one-half o. it be yours and
tba other halt mine? Or would you
prefer It all?"
"Emily!"
Suddenly the room and Edwin and
Norman Douglas grew unreal and
tar away. There was a glorious sense
of lightness and release, and then
nothing. When she opened her eyes sbe was
on the couch and Edwin was kneel
ing beside her, his white, terrified
face very close to hers.
"Emily, sweetheart, what Is It?
Are you all right?"
The world came back, suffocating.
crushing her. She closed ber eyes to
shut It out.
"Yes, I'm all right. 1 haven't been
to a doctor yet," she whispered wea
rily, "but I'm pretty sure I'm going
to hare that baby you wanted."
"Oh, my darling!" He laid his
burning cheek against hers for an In
stant and then very gently lifted her
In his arms and carried ber to her
room. He had forgotten the exist
ence of a man named Norman Doug
las; he was once more awed and
(during and very humble. .
PRANCES FELTON had found a
new outlet for her energies and
she was transformed. Already she
' was making Lists.
"Of course we won't try to get
everything at once, but William can
drive us to Birmingham In the morn
ing and we can make a beginning."
Emily moved restlessly in ber
deck cbalr. The garden was bathed
In sunlight and the tulips and Iris
were vying with each other for su
premacy. The result was intoxicat
ing. "Not yet, Mother. There's so much
time for all that later. This Isn't the
sort of thing that slips up on you."
Frances looked a trifle upset by
her levity. 'But you won't want to
go later."
Emily's eyes bad an unruly glint.
"Why not? Everybody on earth got
here by the same route."
"Emily!"
"I'm sorry." But she didn't sound
particularly sorry. "It's Just that I'd
rather stay out in the sunshine for a
while and work my garden."
"But you have no business work

"Oh, not that actively, darling.
But 1 can potter around and superin
tend Andrew. And then during the
last few months I'll sit and hem nap
kins as much as you like."
Her mother stared. "Sometimes,
Emily, It's hard to believe that you
are my daughter."
"Isn't It!" Emily agreed cheerful
ly. "I don't understand why you
haven't cast me off before this."
She thought with amusement of
how easy It was to defy someone
when you no longer had anything to
lose. She derive a positive delight
from shocking Frances now, . 1
France decided upon an accept
ance of the Inevitable and changed
the subject. "Your father is like a
ciilld over It"
Emily smiled. "Bless him! It it's
a boy I'm going to name It for blm."
To herself she thought "He knows
It's a good thing for me, too. That 1
won't throw my cap over the wind
mill now." ,
'I've . always thought a child
should be named for Its father,"
Frances objected.
It's ao confusing, darling. You
end up by calling blm Junior, which
Isn't a name at all, or Buddy, or
Sonny, or Toodles, and he never
lives It down."
She chuckled suddenly. "Sppose
Edwin had been called Toodles I It
might have altered his whole nature.
Do you know, I think one of the most
significant things about Edwin Is
that he's never had a nickname."
Frances rose.
I MUST be going," she said coldly.
"If you need my help at any time
1 shall be glad to do what 1 can."
Emily was smitten with contri
tion. "Of course I'll need your help. I
haven't an Idea how to begin. 1 only
want a breathing space Drat to ad-
lust myself; after that you won't
have a minute to call your own."
She kissed her mother, and felt
from the relaxing of her body that
she was mouthed.
When Frances had gone she sank
once more Into the deck chair and
closed her eyes.
At least there had been no scenes
since the one about the book. In
all the category of Edwin's fetishes,
Motherhood held first place, and his
attitude since that night had been
compounded of reverence and awe.
She heard his step upon the flag
stones; dear heaven, was it lunch
time alreadyl And then she felt bis
kiss upon her forehead. He nearly
always kissed her upon the forehead
now. She opened her eyes and man
aged a smile. ,
"Greetings. Aren't you a little
early?"
Edwin sat In the other deck chair
and looked at her. He spent a good
deal of time Just looking at her. "I
may be, a little. But I thought you
might want something. Are you all
right?"
"Quite. 1 can still move around,
you know."
She smiled teaslngly at him, won
dering If she could maintain her bal
ance for the remaining months on
the rather dizzy pedestal upon which
he bad enthroned ber.
"I know you can, but I'm afraid
you may overtax your strength."
He was very patient with her lev
ity and Irreverence now; he made
her think of an Indulgent parent
humoring a relractory child that
bad been very 111.
"I won't darling," she assured him.
"I'm really laiy, anyhow, and 1
snatch at any pretoxt for idleness."
"This Isn't a pretext" he sold
firmly. ...
There was no use In arguing It,
of course. She rose. "I expect lunch
Is ready."
On the way to the home he kept
his arm tightly about ber waist
Charlotte's acknowledgement of
ber news was characteristic and
comforting. Charlotte's letters had
a way of putting everything In Its
proper perspective.
Even Judith broke a silence of
many months to rejoice with her.
There bad been a brief announce
ment three months before of the ar
rival of David Carroll Morton, but
Judith had been too occupied for
letters.
"I'm glad about this," she wrote,
"for more reasons than one. I've
guessed from the things you haven't
said that Edwin Is by no means per
fect and after the baby comes be
won't particularly uatter."
She smiled wistfully at Judith's
enthusiasm, and wondered If the
day would ever come when she could
sun herself'once more In the radi
ance of Judith's personality.
