Chapter 39 Grade Proves A Burb BEFORE Nina, In all her prepa rations, had been the vision of Gracie's delicious meal . . . served so easily. Her own salads and sandwiches had seemed, as she prepared them, perfect examples of the culinary art But now, as she came out with the dishes, her confidence van ished. People had to get up and move back their chairs, as she crossed over to the buffet . . . which suddenly seemed too large for the amount of food. There were not enough little tables to put things on. David had to eat off the mantel. Jack Knight looked uncomfortable with two plates on his knees, and his glass on the floor beside him. Nina had planned on tome hot soup to start off the cold meal; but In her embarrassment over the general disturbance, she forgot it until they were well into the lob ster salad. Gracie went out with her, into the messy kitchen, and helped her carry in the cups . , . the very last thing Nina wanted. The mangled salad and half eaten sandwiches looked particu larly unappetizing, wnen tney re turned to them. Nina could think of less and less to say. Her color grew more like the belly of a perch, by the minute. Ihe meal, that had taken so many hours to prepare, was over in what seemed like as many min utes. Although the living-room looked like a hotel pantry after a convention Banquet, sne began to worry that they had not had enough to eat. David was having such good time with Gracie, that she began to hate him. Every word of praise about her food sounded, to her dis traught ears, like a grown-up'o kindly efforts to humor a child. There was no screen to put up, to hide the unsightly mess, as there had been at Gracie's apart ment; and everybody pitched in and helped to clear up' the place. David had remonstrated at first, and insisted on doing the work himself trying to please Nina; but his progress was so slow, that Gracie just got up quietly, and proceeded to help him. Hateful firl. In a moment, It was general, hey all bumped into each other, going in and out of the kitchon, ind Francine got spilled on. When Nina came back from nut. ting French chalk on her guest's oress, uracie nan tne wnole place cleared away. The bridge tables uown. ine ciotn lowed. "Great work, Gracie," David was congratulating her, and Nina retired to the bathroom for a quiet cry. The next thing was that they ran out of Ice. David had to go to the corner to get some. Gracie to keep him company went too. Then cigarettes. Nina had for gotten to get an extra carton. Jack Knight went this time. And, then, after they had put up the bridge tables again, they dis covered that there weren't enough poker chips in the one box Nina had bought at the cigar store. Gracie suggested using matches. Excuse me just a second, will you, while I go and look for some . , .?" More getting up, and moving of chairs. David was so polite, so eager to be a help that he was constantly saying "Let me, sweetheart," and "I'll go, oabv." . . . therehv pnlllno attention to her labors. Hl never let her squeeze by him, but jumped up to let her pass, and then Jack and Bill would have to lump up too . . . offer their assis tance . . . Just To Wring Her Neck IT seemed to poor Nina, who had tried so hard to make her party a success, that the entire evening was spent moving furniture, mill ing about . . . going for soup, or Ice, or cigarettes that had been forootten . . . And Gracie, all the, time, helping her out, smoothing over her mistakes . . . And not only that, very definitely playing up to David. Damn her, so cool and healthy looking. So efficient. Liamn tier . . . she could have tossed off this sillv party, on crutches, with one arm in a sling, and they all knew It. Nina had a fierce desire to pick her up In her little $12.75 model, and plunk her down at the Central Park Casino with a sophisticated crowd, and confront her with a menu in French . . . Though that was silly, too; Gracie would have got away with It somehow. No, Nina guessed she just wanted to wring her soft, little brown neck. Jack was to have a birthday thi following week. "I'll give you a party vpu won't soon forget, promised Francine. Nina thought he was not likely to lorget tnis one. tie naa got up and moved his chair at least SO times already. "No," said Gracie, "I have an Idea." "Oh, I'm catnip to the ladles, all right," said Jack, smoothing back the absurd peninsula of hair on his forehead. And then Gracie went Into a long, whispered conference with David, about the proposed festivi ties. That the long consultation was merely for the fun of putting her head up close to David's, was ob vious, when she announced that they were going to Coney Island. That was all that came of it. Coney Island. She could have suggested it right out. But no. That, or any other mea ger excuse, was enough for Gracie to- drag David off on one side and monopolize him. David winked at Nina, once or twice, over the girl's dark head, but that didn't help it any, Nina wasn't annoyed with him. she was annoyed with Gracie. About 1:30, Miss Nolan said to David: "Yot. better make your bride let me help her with the dishes, big boy. The poor kid'll be up half the night." Gracie. the little heloer. Tha ministering angel. I "Why don't you, sweetheart? Gracie s a whizz." "I thought you told me, once, to treat them with a beautiful disre gard?" remarked Nina. But Gracie said: "Oh. what tha hell I" in the .most comradely way imaginable . . . and insisted on do ing just one more thing to show what a grand wife she would have made for David. "Come on, let's leave those two alone together;" David pointed at Bill and Francine, on the day-bed. "They're practically beyond con- trol now!'' So he and Jack sipped their drinks in the kitchen, while Gra cie went merrily and efficiently to work at the sink. Not a spot on her dress. Not a hair out of place. Nina, white and weary, wiped away, in stony silence. Whan .-.. Knt mam- Ml --1 J .. iiui mtj iibu fiwiw. lllia H1U just one thing to David. "I just ask you, darling, not to say that I managed beautifully. I didn't, and I know It. Now will you please take Button out, and just not say anything?" So he didn't; but he kissed her with a slightly bewildered look on his face. When he came back, she wu sound asleep on the very edge of the bed. Her stockings were still on, and one fat tear was glistening on her white, white cheek. At A Standstill THE last two weeks of August made the first two seem like a strawberry festival. The heat was blistering. Cordelia wrote about nlcrht life In Stockholm, and yachting on wie cooj waters at usio. Aunt Carrie wrote onee, on paper that was crinkly from a re freshing Bar Harbor fog. Honey and Richard sent pic tures of themselves, by the rocky marine pool, at Anlibes. Carl Semple was to meet Corde lia In Paris, and journey down to the Riviera for a reunion with the Challoners. Tony Leeds would be there . . . Nina sat In her apartment that was cool only because it looked cool, and read the letters, and wondered what streak of insanity had lurked In her family, that she should have deliberately got her self Into this predicament She weighed 105 pounds. She was listless from morning to night David saved what he could out of his lunch money (He was al ways saying: "Oh, a malted was all I wanted,") and brought her back little delicacies fresh figs or flowers or some frozen des sert from a reallv sood olare. lika Sherry's . , . But that unset hor. tnn Tt m,4 her feel that she wasn't being a good sport, that she needed cod dling. ... She did need It, of course, but she didn't want to appear to be askipg for It. She couldn't seem to get up the energy to love David, as she had hoped she was going to, for being so heavenly sweet to her; or to hate him, for chaining her to this dreadful, dull poverty. She couldnt seem to miss Honey, or recapture any of her old longing for Richard ... or get over him either, for that matter. She was at a standstill. Her biggest sensations cam from little things: A rolH .1... beer . . . Taking her shoes off, after tramping home from the grocery with packages In her arms . . . The terrific flood of relief, when David said: "Let's eat out, tonight, sweet heart, vou look tired." She thought: this Isn't living. But she went on. fCnpyrfcM, HIT.
