Chapter Three
Terry Asks A Question
CALLY was soon so busy she forgot
everything but her work. A few
minutes before on the phone rang
and Sally, answering In her newly ac
quired business-voice, was greeted
with a hearty laugh from Terry May
nard. "Not an Item for the paper," sala
Terry. "Will you have lunch with me
In ten minutes?"
"Of course. I was just wondering
where and when I'd have it"
"Good. There's something impor
tant I want to ask you."
Its r d humor and he pi. . with a
fork sulkily.
Sally thought how like he was to
Hay when something crossed him. She
loved him for jeing boyish and rough
and for being large and blond and
unlike the men in her own family. But
she was not ready to say she loved
him.
"Don't be silly."
"All right" Terry threw oft his dls
appointment. "Listen. Sally, this Is
what 1 wanted to ask you will you
go with me to Greensboro Thursday
night while I talk to old Cates? Will
you, Sally? I can talk him Into any
thing If you're along."
"Oh, Terry" Sally, remembering
her promise that morning, was swept
by depression as swift as Terry's.
"You won't do It, then." Terry glow
ered at her, hurt and angry. "You
don't care whether I get the Job or
not"
"You don't understand. 1 promised
Mother "
"Oh, hang! What's the matter with
her, now7 Does she think I'm going
to tailspin with you all the way to
Greensboro?"
"It's It's Tip," said Sally miserably
"She's afraid I'm getting Tip Inter
ested in flying."
"What if you are? Snap out of it
Sally. The kids are big enough to dc
what they please, pow. Show a littli
will of your own, why don't you?'
Terry spoke Irritably.
"You're the only thing that's keeping
me," said Terry.
"You mustn't ask me Important
things at lunch." Sally was alarmed
whenever Terry hinted at important
questions. She was not ready for him
to ask her to marry him, but she liked
knowing that he wanted to iu her.
"I promise not to spoil your ap
petite," said Terry. "Let's celebrate
and go to the Lanier what say?"
That's extravagant A drug store
would do."
"The Lanier m pick you up In ten
minutes."
At one Sally followed the girl re
porter, Lola Hopkins, to the small
washroom at the back of the build
ing. It was dirty, but Lola didn't seem
to mind. While Sally pinned up her
nair, uia apiasnea aboul washing
liar race and rubbing It briskly with
e paper towel. When Sally powdered
her nose, Lola looked on with some
scorn.
"Never use make-up," she said, "un
less it's a little powder In hot weather.
Never found It Improved my looks
any.
They want down the stairs together.
"Take you anywhere?" ottered Lola.
"Somebody's coming for me," said
Bally. "Thanks lust the same."
"I get you," said Lola. "Her he la.
Bee you another time."
Terry Maynard was unmistakably
heading for Sally. His disreputable
old car was panting at the curb.
"Hi therel How does It feel In be e
working woman?" Terry called.
"Not to loud. Terry." said Sally,
who could never calm him down into
semblance of lespectablllty. "I'll let
you know when 1 get my Brat pay
check."
"We'll go on a spree." said Terry
Terry's 'Big News'
rpilEY went o(! gaily to the Lanier
Hotel. Warrenton'e on big hotel,
and Terry ordered lunch axtrava
gantly. "At least I'm glad 1 didn't offer to
feed you out of my flrst pay-check.'
said Sally. "Now tell me. what's the
news?"
"Big news. You know I wrote to
old man Willis Cates who was bom
in Warrenton and who's all mixed up
with this Un in South America and
asked him for 1 Job?"
"Yes yes." said Sally breathlessly.
"Well, he's on his way now to New
York, he's going to fly through
Greensboro Thursday night and he'll
spend his half hour stor -er at the
airport with mel" 1
What does it mean, Terry, for
you?"
"Maybe 1 can talk him Into a lob.
If I don't It's the army for m."
"You want to go away, don t you?"
"You'r th only thing that's been
keeping me." said Terry.
"Don't not now, Terry, please."
said Sally.
"All rlcht. 1 promised not 10 spoil
rour appeUle, didn't I?" His face lost
"Let's go," said Sally. "We cant
quarrel In here."
Without speaking, they left the
hotel and got in the car. When they
reached the Courier building, Terry
said. "My big news didn't get much
of a break."
"Don't, Terry. You know 1 didn't
mean to"
"If you chango your mind about go
ing." said Terry, "you can call me up
tomorrow at the airport or the ga
rage. So long."
Without a smile, he got Into the car
and drove oft, leaving Solly staring
forlornly after him.
Hampered By Her Promise
WORK, Sally dlscovorcd, cannot
' absorb all one's thoughts, even
though It be Interesting. All next
morning while she typed and took
telephone messages at her desk, she
heard those parting words of Terry's:
"If you change your mind"
She did want to go. Of that Sally
was sure. She had not been flying
with Terry many times, but she
trusted him utterly. Besides, Terry
had said he needed her to stand by
him while he interviewed old Mr.
Cates for the South American lob.
Sally was uied to Terry's need for
her. Since their high school days when
ane naa neiped him with his English
and talked him into having confidence
In his debating powers, Torry hnd
relied on Sally's advice and Biinport.
Sally, In turn, had found a warm ex
citement In Terry's boyish admiration
for her. Her occasional flights with
Terry had been a welcome break In
the routine of her tedious home duties
and the round of villniio parties.
Always when Sally went up In
Tcrry'a plane there was conflict at
home. Mrs. Warren hnd never ap
proved of Terry. She did not think
flying a career, and she wns alarmed
at the Interest Tip showed In It She
blamed Sally for the times Tip slip
ped away and went flying with Duke
Adams, a younger boy who worked In
the Maynard inrage. Useless to ex
plain to Tip that Duke Adams was lesi
skilled and less responsible than
Terry Maynard. Because Snllv knew
Tip was developing a mania for fly
ing, ane naci impulsively promised het
stepmother not to go up herself with
Terry, without permission.
Yet It was absurd that Sallv War
ren, at 22. should not be free to de
cide things for herself. One moment
Sally had her hand on the telephone
reaoy to call Terry and say she would
go up with him. The next Instant she
would pumi the phone from her. un.
