Chapter 20
Marie's Trip
"fAY I coma up for a few
momenta? Tommy asked,
when he brought the car to a
standstill in front of Luella's
house.
"No. Tommy . . ." laid Luella.
Then, suddenly: "Tommy, X've
(ot an Ideal"
"What about?"
"About you and Marie," (aid
Luella. "Why don't you go away
for a while? Take that vacation
you've been planning go down
to Florida to that cottaga you
told me about.
"Are you, by any chance, trying
to get rid of me, Luella?" Tommy
asked, hall joking, nan serious.
"No ... but maybe if Marie
auddenly realized that you'd got
ten out of the picture, so to
speak, she would begin to under
stand how much she really needs
you.
"I sea . . . There might be some
thing in it, but I can't get away
now. That's impossible." Tommy
grinned. "Besides. I still remem
ber how your plher idea ended
you know, that proposal on amp-
board in ine mooiuigm.
"Yea, I know," said Luella.
"Well, get away when you can,
... I think it's the thing to do,
Meanwhile have an honest, out-
in-the-open, heart-to-heart talk
with Marie, Tommy, Maybe if we
all try real hard wa can get
things straightened out as they
noma oe. sue triea to smue. i
Eean, you back with Marie, and
enry back with me."
"I've tried to talk to Marie
Several times," said Tommy. "But
(he's always busy. ... I tried last
night I telephoned on Friday be
cause I knew it was one night
she was usually free. . . . But she
wasn't at home."
"She's probably week-ending
with soma of the radio officials.
"No," said Tommy. "Her maid
said she had taken a plane for
Chicago."
"Chicago!" laid Luella.
"Yes," said Tommy. Ha gave
Luella a searching look. "She's
week-ending out there. ... Is
there anything wrong, Luella?"
Luella shook her head. "No,
Tommy," she lied. Marie week
ending in Chicago. Thank good
ness. Tommy didn't know Kenry
was out thera also. She managed
a feeble amlle. 'Thanks, Tommy,
for a grand time. I think I'll go
straight to bed. The salt air
makes you sleepy as well as bun
iry." "We'll have a lot of grand
times together," Tommy said, "if
you only give the word."
"Good night. Tommy."
"Good night, Luella dearest,"
Tommy said very softly.
Luella turned away, lighting
sack tears, fighting the ache in
ber heart, and hurried inside.
Ticklish Spot
OUT In Chicago Henry Pell waa
facing Marie Mason in a se
cluded corner of a hotel mezza
nine. "It's fun being here together
tike this, isn't it?" said Marie.
"Exciting ort of of devilish."
"Yes, Marie," said Henry, "but
t you see "
"Is anything troubling you,
Henry?" Marie asked, eyeing him
closely.
"No, only "
"You mean you're sorry I flew
But here to see you?"
"No, it's not that exactly. . , .
It's only that I hope no one sees
us together. They might not
well understand.
"And suspect the worst?" said
Marie. "Think the worst and tell
Luella?" She shrugged. "Listen,
Henry, darling, we're strictly
modern, you and I, and you
mustn't feel guilty, as though
we'd been caught down home to
tether. . , . After all, we're
grown-up, and "
"Oh. I'm modern enough," said
Henry. "I haven't any old-fashioned
ideas about people being
scared stir? of the 'thou shall
nots' . . . What does bother me,
though. Is having Luella find out,
and lake it into her head to to
do something extreme."
"Nonsense!" laughed Marie.
"Luella's not an extremist any
thing else but that! Besides. I did
fly out here on business. Thst's
true, isn't it?"
"Yes. Marie, I know. . . . And It
was swell of you to do it, espe
cially when you have to be back
in New York Monday for uur
broadcast . . . But oh. the devil!
. . . Are you sure Alma Latham's
about to land that Job with Rec
tor and Everett?"
"I certainly am!" said Marie.
"Good heavens. Henry, you dnn'l
think I'd fly all the way to Chi
cago on a mere surmise or sus
picion, do you? Malcolm Rector's
in love with Alma as I've told
you before and he's airnn .
giving her the job. He likes (or
women to Justify their existence,
and Alma knows this. So s'le's !
leaving no stone unturned. S'ie' 1
even pliying up to Mr. Everett
She leaned toward Henry, her
ayes big and shining. "The mo
ment I feit that yuur chances
were slipping, unless you were on
the spot, I called up your office.
And when they told me you'd
gone out to Chicago, and would
be gone for a week, I simply
went panicky. I jumped a plane,
and came out. I couldn't write
all I wanted to say, and yet I felt
you should know exactly how
things stood."
Henry laid his hand over ona
of Marie's. "You were sweet to
do that," he said. "I appreciate it,
but "
"There are not "buts. Henry,"
Marie interrupted. "You've got to
get back to New York and sell
yourself to Rector and Everett."
"I'm intereated in that radio
Job, Marie, really I am," Henry
said, but 1 can t possibly get
back to New York before next
Wednesday. I have no earthly ex
cuse for leaving here before the
week is up. Besides there's plenty
here for ma to do."
But you will be back Wednes
day, won't you?" said Marie. "You
must promise me, Henry. It means
so much to me more than I can
say."
"I'll do my darndest."
"I couldn't bear having you not
get that job," Marie went on.
'There are so many things we
can do together, and, as you said
yourself, radio is the coming
ining. men meres television.
Henry smiled. "And what a
lovely thing you'll be in tele
vision!" he said. Then, more seri
ously: "Maybe I could handle tha
radio as a sort of avocation. You
know, hold on to the job I have
now. and write songs as a side
line."
"You couldn't nossiblv do that."
said Marie. "We d never be able
to get things done. You'd be
pulled this way and that, if not
by the realty job. then bv Lu
ella."
'Oh. ves. Luella." sit i it Henry
quietly. He stiffened. "Say, that
looked like a man I know in New
York."
"For Pete's sake. Henrv. ston
being so jittery," said Marie. . . .
"One would think you'd eloped
with me that you'd run off with
a woman who'd broken up your
happy home."
'That's just it!" said Henry.
"Luella may get just such an
idea. She she might even namt
you as co-respondent."
Delayed
f ARIE laughed. "Luella, nam
'i ing a co-respondent!" she
said. "Don't be absurd, Henry. Ii
anyone ever names a co-respondent
it will have to be you. Lu
ella will certainly never do it."
i m not so sure, said Henry.
'Sometimes those who seem to be
the meekest or the most lona-
suffering are the very ones who
raise the dickens when they re
good and mad." He lit a cigarette,
blew a smoke-ring. "With this
new Job hanging in the Hre. and
me Just trying to get somewhere
in radio, i couldn t aflord to risk
srnnaal. Nor could vou, Mane."
"I'm not afraid," said Marie
I know Luella better than VOU
do." "
"Yes? ... I wonder ahnnt that
Marie."
'She 11 alip auletlv away anil
weep," Marie went on. "but she
will never have the courage to
sue you, or name me or anyone
else. Now, let's forget Luella, and
go back to business."
"That suits me all right," said
Henry. "I don't relish the idea
of Luella slipping oil somewhere
to weep."
"You still love her?"
"I married her, didn't I?"
Henry fenced. "Anyway I hate
to think of her being hurt."
"Cautious man!" Marie teased
"Come on, let's forget business
slso for the time being, and go
dancing." She got up. "I hear
some marvelous music coming
from the grill."
Henry took her arm. They went
down the stairs to the main floor.
A few moments later they were
moving as one over the shining
space in the grill room that was
reserved for dancers.
Marie (lew back to New York
the next afternoon. Henry stood
on the edge of the airfield and
watched the plane that was tak
ing her away. He closed his eyes
a moment, felt a great wave of
worry and uncertainty engulfing
him. He fought it oil with effort,
and went to find a cab that would
take him back to the city. There,
he hoped, he would be able to
stretch out upon his bed and do
some clear and constructive
thinking.
Luella, silently weeping. . . ,
Marie, going places.
And Henry Pell. . . . Well, what
about Henrv Pell?
Work piied up. On Monday
there were endless details to ba
attended to. Tuesday there were
more. Wednesda.v there were
complications. Getting back to
New York on Wednesday was
out of the question. He couldn't
make it on Thursday, either. It
was Friday before Henrv could
manage lL Now, at last, he was
on his way home. The train
would be pulling into Grand Cen
tral Station in a short time.
He thought about Luella. He
hoped she wouldn't feel too bad
about his not having written to
her.
Now the station. Now a t.ixi-
rab Now getting out in front of
the h.m. paying the driver. L'p
two flights, down a hall. And then
the apartment living room, neat
and tidy as usual and very, ery
quiet.
"LuelU, I'm back." he called.
