Chapter 27
. Denny Comes Back
"ARE you telling all to Denny,
. A young woman?" Peter de
manded. They still teased her little
'about Denny. "Personally, I think
'they re a boon in this wilderness. But
'to hava not only the little boy next
door but his papa, settin up with you
four days out of seven"
They're probably thinking of elop
int together with Marvlin." Eve re-
'tor ted. "As a matter of fact, I had a
letter from Denny not long ago, and
,he said I suppose you re flirting with
old Peter.' "
They both laughed. Peter was so
Invincibly his wires adorer.
"All Is discovered!" he laid. "Well,
if I ever did fall for anybody but
Marylin, I promise It would be you.
Eve."
"Very handsome of you," said Eve
absently. She thought she heard the
front bell jangling. You could hear it
from the rear portico.
She ran In, through the center hall,
threw the door open.
There he stood, casual as If he had
gone only yesterday.
Denny, unchanged. The suitcase,
. the gray-suited long slim body, the
, smiling green eyes, the boyish thrill
. lng clutch of his arms as he cried out
'wJth joy at seeing her after so longl
"It can't be real It doesn't seem
real" he murmured, kissing her
thirstily. "Oh, Eve, I got to feeling
maybe you were just something I'd
dreamed "
' They stood holding each other close
In the sunshiny long hall. Denny
presently glanced about and said,
"Where'a the army? Any hope of our
, being left alone?"
"Oh, darling, they're all as cere
monially In hiding as if you were the
prince i a tn Aladdin. Marylin and
Peter even volunteered to get din
ner." "That's the way to treat your board
ers. Gosh, precious, I simply couldn't
bear the idea of your drudging &way
in this big house. But you look as
fresh and smart and lovely as If you
hadn't turned a finger. How did you
manage?"
"It hunt been bad," Eve said.
Teter Insists on a cleaning woman
twice a week for the sweeping and
scrubbing. The Blessed Dividends
turn up in a minute or so now. you
know, and he's going to pay me for
: aH the cleaners himself, they say. For
the rest of it. Uncle Henry does twice
. too much of the cooking and cleaning.
Breakfast and lunch aren t anything,
of course, except for him and Judge,
and they do their own. We take turns
about dinner. Jin t your girl friend
we little organized"
'"She's the bravest thing on earth
Denny said fervently as they went up
to the room she had prepared for him.
Eve was puzzled by his attitude of
extravagant pity; she had liked it in
the-'-country except for his being
awsy! She sat in the old "patent
reciter wnue ne admired everything.
"You went and dug It all out for
( we, you blessed child?"
"Well, I had to dig something, and
feu said you liked it"
"She won't admit her devotion.
Well, I'm not like that. I'd dig subways
u you said you nxed em
"There's some draining Uncle
Henry was.talklng about in the mead
ow-piece," said Eve mischievously.
"The minute supper's over . , ,
Together And In Lore
TpHEY were together. They were In
a love. It didn't matter what non
sense they talked excitedly. After six
weeka of separation, they were in the
same house.
"You know, it's worse for me than
for you. Eve, because you aren't at
the office. When I went by your cub!
ele today, I thought you wore going
to be there, and then It was Miss
Hare, with her plump pleface and
her neat gray bob, like an ad In the
ubway. I wanted to strangle her."
"That's no excuse for strangling me
instead.
She disentangled herself, flushed,
and retreated to the doorway. "Come
on, I want to show you the lawn and
the fruit garden. There will be simply
millions of strawberries."
Denny, decanting a suitcase on the
bed, said, "My own, don't say you're
going rural on me:
She was dashed for a minute. Then
ehe realized that she had been getting
ridiculously wrapped up In her house
and garden.
She laughed, returning and perch'
lng on a chair arm. "I had to do some
thing to occupy my mind, with you
off in the wilds hunting for fame and
fortune! Denny, did you get it?"
His face darkened In the old quick
boyish way.
"No, darn m. I didn't. Bill had to
let well and strong and I'm bark on
the old measty job." Eve stared at him

cried on old Mitzi the minute I landed
and she's been working the old rab
bit's foot, it seema, right along, about
the Cleveland publicity job. You
should have seen the dinner party she
pulled last night! Fourteen people
and an extra butler in to wait She
put me next George Cleveland's
mamma again and I think I made a
hit." He began to laugh.
"And what grandeur! Different
wine with every course like a novel;
and after dinner she sent me out to
unlock the wine closet for more
whisky; and what did I see sitting up
but one of those printed trays that
give you good advice brand new! It
said Hock with Soup. Sauterne with
Fish, Champagne with Welsh Rabbit,
Whisky with Baked Beans and so on.
And there were all the glittering
guests sitting round impressed as
anything and Mittie-May had just
mugged it up that P. M-!"
Before Eve could say, "But Mr.
Cleveland comes here nights and over
most weekends " Marylin and Peter,
avid for news of the city, were on
them.
"We're starved for gossip," Marylin
said, kissing Denny and settling down
on the bed by him. "Don't hold out
on us. Den, here in the wilds. Has
Herndon's secretary still a hopeless
pash for him and la Dick Mldgett's
little Russian still a princess, or did
she turn out to be a Red? . . ."
And that was Eve and Denny's last
moment alone.
Dinner was hilarious, If you could
call it dinner. Peter was an expert on
stew; they had that, baked potatoes,
and baked apples with whipped
cream.
'Too bad we didn't ask George and
Georgie," said Marylin.
"Gosh, I wish you had asked the old
man over," said Denny. "Eve says he'i
quite settling in."
"Weekends. Georgie is the origins'
settler."
"Grand!" said Denny. "Maybs
they'll be here tonight and X can
vamp old Cleveland."
"The first nignt with Eve, when we
Were going to clear out of the parlor
so tactfully? Oh, fie for shame!" said
Marylin mischievously. 1
"Well, we need him, said Eve
laughing across at Denny.
George Interrupts A Song . I
THE Cleveland did drift over in I
their Innocent and accustomed I
way. Mr. Cleveland had been playing j
off a tournament; he detailed it at 1
length to Peter, that most beguiling
of. listeners; George went into the
back parlor as usual, where the piano
and the radio and the little center
table and Judge and Uncle Henry
were. He was hard at work presently ;
on mysterious sheets of calculations, i
while the old man and child played i
checkers.
The r eatherstones and Mr. Cleve
land and Denny In the front room by
the fire went at contract. Denny wai
a good player. Eve deliberately left
them alone and returned to the check
er players. Denny would have hlJ
chance with Mr. Cleveland and a
better chance, he must see, than
Mitzl's elaborate maneuvers could ar
range for him.
"What are you at, George?" she
asked idly, a hand on his shoulder.
George, pencil in hand, looked up at
her, smiled briefly and kindly and
said "Mathematics of genetics."
"Will it disturb you if Eve sings
a bit, George?" Uncle Henry asked
mildly, as he asked two nights out of
three, when Judge had triumphantly
won a game and was obviously too
bright-eyed for chances of sleep. "She
won't sing loud."
"No, It won't disturb me," George
said. He laid asldo his papers and
leaned his hend back In the old-fashioned
chair. Eve knew what Uncle
Henry wanted the old Scotch songs
and the Stephen Foster songs her
aunt used to sing when she was small.
She sat down at the tiny green piano.
Installment-bought, that had been the
pride of her city apartment. Uncle
Henry behind her turned out the
lamp. The half-light from the other
end of the rooms was enough to show
her to them, her hend drooping a lit
tle, murmuring songs she knew by
heart, her green dress flowing round
her. Judge came over and nestled
against her on the floor.
In spite of the disappointment about
Denny's Job, she sat there omong
people whom she loved and who
loved her; she was in the house she
had always loved, she realized now.
She went on singing softly, there in
the half-light. Denny was here. Denny
would see tomorrow, that he must go
straight to old Mr. Cleveland In spite
of Mltzi's specious bullying argu
ments. . . . Spring, young in love
Eve's voice swelled a little, sweet and
clear and happy, In one of the old
songs Uncle Henry liked. , . .
1 lot'e you truly truly, dear,
Life has no orrou life hat no
fear . , .
George's chair made a noise on th
floor as he rose abruptly,
"Look here. Dad, you have to b
starting your tournament match a!
nine tomorrow," he said, crossing te
the front room, while Eve's hand.
dropped to the keys in surprise
George wasn't apt to do this sort o'
thing, he loved her singing.
"Yes. yes," Mr. Cleveland said a lit
tle ruefully; he never liked to be hur
ried. But golf was sacred; and pres
ently the two were gone.
