CHAPTER VI
fTTOTlhrlll of her truancy ln
crensed a hundred-fold as Enid
moved from room to room, revel
ing In the lovely vista of the
apartment as seen from different
angles, touching bits of bric-a-brac
lovingly with a precious
cense of possession, changing the
Tuultlnn nf some books, visioning
fresh flowers in the vases on
(helves and tables.
By the time she'd arranged her
. personal effects and taken a
shower in the peach-tiled bath
room she was ravenously hungry.
At first she thought she'd call a
taxi and go downtown to eat
On second thought she decided
to hunt a delicatessen shop she
bad noticed a sort of community
center about two blocks from the
apartment, there was probably a
delicatessen there and get some
thing to cook in the apartment
She was Itching to try the fasci
nating gadgets in the apartment'
..kitchen.
The first week of her vacation
passed in a delirious whirl of
. shopping. Enid spent hours in the
t' shops, Just idling and looking and
" trying on dresses until she found
the particular ones that did some
thing for her, like the severely
plain blue crepe with Its tiny
matching turban that made her
'; look as serene and aloof as a nun.
;' Eyes followed her in that even in
' the fitting room,
'i She bought lounging pajamas
and sleeping pajamas, a glamor--Vized
housecoat of black silk with
'. front panel of changeably col
V ored stiff taffeta, a flowered chif
. taa for afternoons with a wide
. brimmed hat of yellow straw and
"jfreat scarlet popples pressed
''around its brim, vivid summer
prints, a bathing suit an evening
dress of coral organdy, and, look
ing forward to fall, a beige wool
suit touched up with a red beret
red gloves, and ah enormous red
"feather purse.
And then then were shoes,
slender patent pumps, white high
heeled sandals, a pair of gay props
to wear with her pajamas, and'
: smart buckskin oxfords for the
' suit -
! Enid ranged her new shoes and
(dresses in the closet and admired
rthem; and wondered where she
ciuld Tvear them., ; What was the
use of having pretty clothes if
jthere waajnot one to see and ad
mire her 'In Them? - '
nTO chase ..away the depression
'l that unexpectedly settled upon
her, she donned one of the cool
prints, the white sandals, a crown
Jess white hat a crisp new. pair
of gloves and phoned for a taxi.
She'd go home and pick up her
mail. . .
. There was quite an accumula
tion of It Enid opened eagerly a
.big, thick letter from ber mother.
They were having the time of
Jtheir life, .Mom wrote. She and
pop went out every morning and
Ashed all day. Late in the after
noon they'd come in and go to bed,
.and get up after midnight and go
.out again, for just before daylight
Was the best time of all to catch
sh. '"'''
Enid purposely left the letter
,Jrom Tom until the last She
recognized his awkward, angular
handwriting on the envelope. The
letter itself was brief. He missed'
her. He was counting the days,
until she would be home. He
loved her.
Heading Tom's letter brought a'
lump into Enid's throat She was,
.suddenly absurdly lonely for him.
6he toyed with the thought of
phoning him and letting him know ,
that she was in town. .
,:'' But could she explain the apart
ment in Arlington to him, or the
fact that she was hidden away
like a loony enjoying a month by
Herself? No whether she liked
ft or not she'd have to stick to
her original plan and let Tom be
lieve that she was at the mine
acting as secretary to Stanton.
She didn't bother to light the
lamps in the living room, although
it was quite dark when she re
turned to the apartment She
jdropped limply down in a chair
Iby the front-windows. Across the
'street a lower apartment was bril
liantly lighted. Evidently a party
was going on there. She could
hear laughter and music and see
couples dancing past the windows.
As 6he watched wistfully from
iher darkened window, she saw a
man park a car on her side of
the street and come rapidly up
the walk to the entrance of the
lapartment building. It was young
Dr.: Holliday. He walked briskly
with a purposeful swing to his
well-set-up shoulders. It was the
first time Enid had seen him since
(she had rented the apartment.
If only she knew someone like
him to pass the evening with, she
thought Someone interesting to
talk to. Her white forehead puck
ered in thought Maybe she could
trump up some reason to see him
again, to get to know him.
..
JTNID was shy. It took her until
noon that Sunday to muster
up courage .to carry out her
scheme.
j She took a last scared- look in
Ithc mirror to be sure she was
llooklng her best After much de
liberation she had donned a slack
outfit, one of her new purchases,
the trousers jdark blue and of n

soft a material that ihey looked
like a long skirt, the blouse red-and-white
candy stripe silk.
Her fine straight hair was done
In the manner the beautician had
recommended for her, parted in
the middle and pulled into two
soft pompadours at each temple,
with the ends curled in a loose
roll across the base of her neck.
Her smooth-skinned face, too
broad for real beauty, lacked at
the moment its greatest charm,
serenity. She smoothed out the
nervous pucker between her
brows and marched down the hall
with her heart in her throat
The doctor, himself, opened
the door at her ring. He smiled
a slow recognition. "Oh Miss
Sharon, it's you."
So he hadn't forgotten herl
"I hate to bother you, but the
windows in my apartment need
cleaning, and I didn't know
whether the janitor was supposed
to take care of them, or whether
I should get someone else " Her
voice trailed breathlessly.
Dr. Holliday broke in Indul
gently, "That's Jim's job all right
but he's a lazy beggar. I'll speak
to him about them."
The door behind him swung
wide. Enid saw again the warm
red and yellow room with its
heavy masculine furniture. In the
middle of the rug a small boy
was stacking building blocks.
The child looked up impatiently.
"Come on. Daddy. Build me a
Siuuar.""
Enid felt as if someone had sud
denly thrown a cup of cold water
in her face. ,
"Anything else?" the doctor
asked with a flash of white, even
teeth.
Enid thanked him lamely and
backed away. Her face burned
with a deep flush of shame, as if
she had been caught in a despic
able deed. As she went down the
hall she heard the man's and the
child's voices raised in companion
