Chapter Three
Gold Incarnated
HAVING exhausted hl patience
and the battery on the bell
connecting hi desk with that of
his secretary, Angus Gregory
strode into the room.
"Miss Riley . . . Miss Bridget
Riley, do you realize that I have
been ringing you steadily for the
last five minutes? For the final and
. the last time, are you my private
secretary or are you not?"
Bridget snapped a rubber band
on the last sheaf of papers. "I have
not been your private secretary for
two hours and twenty minutes.You
allowed me three hours to pack up
and get out. I'm cutting the time
to two hours and a half!"
Swiftly she went to the closet
to get her hat and coat
Kathleen watched her father.
Behind perfectly tailored coattails,
his hands were clasped in the
Gregory pose of Intense feeling.
They gripped each other for con
trol. The war between diplomacy
and stubbornness was visible in
the agitated working of his heavy
brows.
"I'll hold up your check," he
threatened.
Bridget fitted a mitre hat over
her braids and smiled at the mir
ror. "I thought of that," she re
torted. "I had the office boy cash
it immediately upon your sending
it to me."
"But Miss Riley, Bridget, damn
H all, girl, you can't leave me. Why
I don't know how I'll . . . well you
can stay until you break someone
in, can't you?" .
"Dad, why didn't you think of
that when you ordered her out?"
Angus cast a despairing glance
at his daughter. "My dear child,
I could not allow anyone to speak
to a Gregory as Bridget Riley
spoke to your Aunt Beatrice. I
know Bee is exasperating but she
is a Gregory" ;
Mutiny
A GREGORY!" Bridget had
wheeled from the mirror.
"You think your clan is the sun
about which everyone else has to
revolve -or fall into apace. You
Gregorys haven't vision enough
to look beyond your own orbit. You
don't know there's anyone else in
the heavens or on the earth. You
think you and your gold ore the
heavens and earth. You think that
you are the gold incarnated. Well
you're not. You're nothing but a
big, gilt painted balloon and some
day somebody is going to stick a
nin in vou."
She smiled at him then, and her
voice lowered to a demure tone,
concluded, "It's been to nice,
knowing you."
She was gone. Kathleen looked
at the door though which she
seemed to have evaporated, then
she looked at her father.
"Dad," she warned, "remember
the Gregory blood pressure." She
darted in pursuit
An express elevator had rushed
Bridget to the street and when
Kathleen reached there, she was
departing in a cab. A low swung
f olden-red car slid to the curb in
Is wake. Kathleen jumped to the
running board.
"Dan," she pleaded, "can you
catch that cab?"1
"If ye'll write to me mlther and
tell her I died in service," he
sighed.
The cab had been swallowed
by the traffic. "I didn't know you'd
ever had a mother," murmured
Kathleen.
Dan swung the hood of the car
around, mumbling.
"What did you ssy?" Kathleen
demanded.
"I said," blurted the chauffeur,
belligerently, "and how in the divil
did ye expect me to be here. All
right, I'm fired."
The hurrying throng paused as
Kathleen's laugh rang out. "No
luch luck Danny. Get in, I'm riding
with you."
"You can't do that"
"Oh. can't I." countered Kath
leen and swung into the landau
front seat. "Now take me to a tele
' phone and en route, explain this
mutiny. What's the matter with the
.(.iregorys, don l they treat you
ight. cay you well?"
Dan, intent upon putting the
.olden car through the massed
raffle, shrugged in resignation.
You're asking for It" he fore
warned. "You pay us right, but
there's niver a thought you give to
us as numans.

SERIOUSLY Dan, what do you
think of me?" Kathleen asked
ibruplly.
"1 don't. I work for you."

what would you as a man, think
of me? Please tell me, I need your
help."
Dan sighed deeply. "Sure you
can get this car back through traf
fic? If it's the truth I'm to be
tellin' you, one of the other of us
will walk."
"Is it that bad?"
Dan groaned and for the first
time a car he was driving rubbed
fenders wjth a plebeian. "Faith,
Miss Gregory, it's like the sun you
are, fair blinding a man with your
beauty. That is 'til he caught a
whiff of your temper."
Ad then?" 3kp(j itatnen,
eagerly.
"Catch that cab!"
"Then he'd feel the red blood of
him boilin' to tame you. His fin
gers would twitch with wantin'
to get hold of you and shake the
sense into you. You'd be a chal
lenge to a man, Miss Gregory. I
know, I met one like you."
Kathleen chuckled. "Have you'
tamed her?"
"To be married we are, my first
vacation."
They stopped at a hotel and
Kathleen telephoned her mother's
secretary. "Break my engagements
for this evening and begin to think
up a cruise that will last a couple
of months. I'll explain when I
come in."
From her father's office she ob
tained Bridget's home address and
back in the car, sat silent. She must
have her plans perfected when she
caught up with Miss Riley, and
when she again met her father the
entire campaign must be ready for
his consideration.
This was much more exciting
than planning a benefit; directing
amateur theatricals, or trying to
curb an executive tongue at a
board meeting where fussy old
women talked endlessly, then left
the actual work to a lone paid
secretary. This was the adventure
with a purpose and inspired by a
motive.
A "vapid flapper" was she?
Russet gloves strained at the
seams as her hands clenched. The
man was an impossible boor with
a rotten temper. He was probably
throwing up a defense mechanism
to protect his ego from the knowl
edge that all girls disliked him on
sight.
It was going to be a lark to bring
him to his knees. She'd never yet
met a man she couldn't win if she
wanted to. Conquests were a mat
ter of propinquity. She'd take
care of the propinquity.
But she would need Bridget. No
one else could possibly take her
place. Once she had given her
word. Bridget could be trusted
implicitly.

Strang aa It seems, although built
to commemorate the dleastrous Great
Fire of London In 1666, the famous
London Monument actually was de
signed as a telescope tube by Sir
Christopher Wren, noted architect
Christian Huygens, the famous
Dutch scientist, had presented the
English Royal Academy, of which
Wren was president, with & large ob
ject glass for astronomical use. Wren
then conceived of the Idea of build
ing a great hollow tube to be used
with the glass as a telescope.
