She realised that her heart was racing and that her hands were cold. She sat down, arranging bar folds of chiffon with loving care, and picked tip a book called "Rainbow's End." AT uvo minutes post the appointed hour Blnke knocked, and the sound startled her bocause she awaited it so anxiously. She dropped the book nervously and went to open the door. He came in without a word, clos ing the door carefully behind hlra. She put out her hands and said. "Blnko, dear . . ." as she lifted her face. He touched her hands briefly and ahe noticed that his bands were as cold as her own. nut ho made no move to kiss her. She aald. striving tor the right note of lightness: "This is an unexpected pleasure. . . Ho looked straight into her eyes, and there was no answering light In his. "Not exactly a pleasure, I'm afraid. Ton may not like it when I've fin ished. And then again you may." The dread deepened and apread, until It filled hor body and her mind. "What on earlh do you meant" He gestured vaguely towards a chair nnd she nnt down, but he stood with his hands rammed Into the pockets of his coat and looked at her.

There waa no place for pleaaan tries In the Interview, and so he went straight to the point "Irma, I've come to aak you to divorce me. Uer eyes widened In amazement and she lifted one beautifully kept hand as If to ward off the blow. He stood still and watched the hand flutter back Into her lap. "Divorce you? Why?" "Because we don't care a damn about each other and haven't for ten years. Because I love someone else "Oh." Her eyes grew narrow and hard. "So you're Including me In the Indifference just to ease your conscience." You can't got mad, he reminded himself harshly; you've got to keep your temper. ... He sat down, facing her. "Not at all. If you'd cared about me you'd have stayed at home occa sionally." She opened her Hps to advance her threadbare argument but he said It for her. "I know your health. That's a laugh, of course.
