A: Chapter 30 Morris Story "AS HAS already been painted out," Morrii laid, "I drove Ber from It. "By forcing your attentions on "Not at all I fired her for In. Competency. She had a nasty habit of standing on stage and not being able to say a line." Steve said, "Yes, because she Was so terrified of you that , , ." Morris' voice rose above Steve's. "No, Because she was drunk. On one occasion, the last, she wasn't even able to stand, she passed out en stage. We had to lower the curtain and have the understudy take over." "That's a lie!" Steve said hoarsely. Carol clutched at his shoulders with both hands. I could see that they were shaking. But her voice was steany. . "Yes, Steve, It's a lie. It's what he told the other managers in London about me. Thats why they wouldn't give me a job, any of them. Dont listen to him, Steve." Morris said calmly, "I told the other managers about you be cause I didn't want you to spoil their productions as you did mine. "Go on, Mr. Morris, go on! Tell what you told them. Tell every thing you said!" , "I'd rather not. reallv." I "No. You're afraid to. You're arraid in front of Steve, you know that he . . ." ' Peterson said, Taka it easy, Aims oianton. She sank back on the eouch trembling violently and Steve held her tight with one arm round her shoulders, his other Hand clasping hers. Morris looked at the cigarette that he turned in his Angers as if it were the only important thing in the room. "So you'd rather not talk about what happened in London, Mr. "No. I assure you It is as pain ful to me as it is to Miss Blanton nd her young champion." i "Nuts!" said Peterson. "If I were you, Mr. Morris, I'd talk. And I'd talk loud." i "Very welL It seems my reti cence has implicated me In a mess I'd hoped to avoid. So my 'story is this. i "I saw Miss Blanton, then Miss Gray, playing at the Royal Acad jcmy as she says, and I thought her a beautiful child giving a Jovely performance. I cast her in IGreen Apples. When rehearsals (started we were a happy group of jeople. The cast was a play fWrisht's dream. j "But in six weeks It was turn jlng into a cesspool. There wasn't it, friendship left. My actors were behaving like a bunch of neu rotics. My leading man and my leading lady hated each other. The lovely young thing who had urcn piaying nana nogers pan i attempted suicide. Her engage ' ment to the young stage manager hod been mysteriously broken. :My character man, a fine old chap, had suddenly become a dip- uiutmiac mat maae two in my company, including Miss Blan- I ton." ; Troth At Last I I JEFF sidestepped in front of V Steve as he started to rise. I Carol sat rigidly, on hand cov 1 Bring her eyes. j Peterson growled, "Go on." "The character man had been milked of every cent he had, and -made a fool of, by my pretty in genue. In those six weeks a bril I liant young actress' career and love affair had been ruined by .this Ing6nue's malignant slander. She had broken friendships, torn .people apart with her lies and in trigue and ambition. That ingenue Was Leila Gray." There was a moment of white hot silence before Carol, tears streaming down her cheeks, leaped to her feet. "Now you see why I ran away, why I changed my name, why I've lived in terror of him! Now he's trying to wreck Steve's love lor me, he's trying to break my life again!" She turned to Steve, her chin lifted bravely. "1 knew he'd do this, Steve. That's why I wanted to send you away. Steve, darling, try to forget all this, forget how horrible he is and all his horrible lies. , . . " She fled Into the bedroom. Steve stared after her, a bewil dered, almost frightened look on his face. "Steve." I said, "go to her. She needs you now. Don't stand there like that! Steve, why don't you go to her!" Jefl said quietly: "Because what Morris said is true, Haila. All of it." No one moved. Steve was still looking dazedly at the closed bed. room door and Greeley Morris watched him with anxiety. Peter, son, the policeman, sat waiting. I said, "No, Jeff." "Yes. Don't you see that she's done the same thing to your com pany that she did In England? Only here someone tried to kill her for it, and that covered her up. Everyone was afraid to tell the truth about Carol for fear that it might throw suspicion for her attempted murder and Eve's death on them. Everyone but Alice McDonald. She knew what Carol was and she could speak. Carol hadn't given her a motive for murder. But when Alice told us you laughed at her. You didn't believe her." "But you didn't either." "It started ma thinking." Peterson said impatiently, "What has she done? And who did she do it to?" "To Philip Ashley. She used the same technique on him that she practiced on that character man in England. In his room I found an I.O.U. for five hundred dollars. It was a silly game, he said, the I.O.U. was only a Joke. But it wasn't a joke. It was real And God knows how many mora of them there were or why he was fool enough to have loaned her the money. "Look at Tommy Nellson. She had him nuts about her, she took everything that Tommy had to offer and then she dropped him. She dropped him because she saw bigger game and that bigger gams was Steve. With Steve there was wealth and position. No wonder she did everything in her power to keep the story of Lee Gray from coming out. That's why she was rushing the engage ment and the wedding. She made him think that it was he who was doing the rushing. She talked about endangering his life, know ing that it would make Steve more anxious to marry her quick ly and take care of her." "But, Jeff." I said, "with me she was always , . . she seemed such a child, I thought she was my friend. And she was, Jeff! She never did anything to me." "Haila, site's been using you since the moment you met She made as much money from Green Apples as you did, but she's bor rowed from VOU. lived here, eatpn your food, worn your clothes . . " -uut tney were such little thlngsl I didn't mind." ". . . and she drank vour linunr. Didn't the amount of liquor that little angel nut awav ever niiala you, Haila? But she was watching her step pretty carefully. She never wanted Steve to see her drunk." Broken Mas I FORCED myself to look at Stave H WH hlmr-ha1 Hmim shock. His eyes seemed strangely glazed.
