Ik It m a. a f r fj !- fe fc- fe' 16. .; fe SERIAL STORY OF BRIGHTNESS GONE BY HOLLY WATTERSON GRANDMA PROPOSES CHAPTER XXII rpHB next day Mrs. Harper had a heart attack and Dr. Patter on ruled as a remit that thera could be no question of changing nurse. - Mra. Harper grinned weakly at Candace from her pillows. She laid with satisfaction, "I guess you'll believe I'm really sick now. I guess you'll have to stay with me now." Candace smiled at her. One could grow really fond of this gallant little old reprobate, she thought "The only thing I'm con vinced of," she said, "is mat youu go to any lengtns to get your own way." "Humph," Mrs. Harper said. "I have the devil's own time trying to make you believe that I'm sick, and Patterson that I'm well enough to go home. Oh, don't look so surprised. Of course I want to go home. This place is all right for a well person, but It's too depressing when one is really ill." "There's logle for you," Can dace said, laughing. She was thinking privately, if she comes home, Or. Patterson or no, I don't go with her. I won't stay In the same house with that fresh grand 'son of hers, thank you. . , . But the old lady had evidently expected that reaction and was prepared. That evening Duffy asked to speak with Candace. "My grandmother wants to go borne," he said, "but she's afraid that you may refuse to go with her. Because of me." His usual laughing lraolence was missing, he seemed subdued and even a bit embarrassed. "Miss Been," he said hesitantly, "I well, Dr. Patterson has talked to me and I well, I'm awfully sorry IVe made such an ass of myself. I didn't realize how you felt about things. You see, I have so much and most of the people I know who haven't much themselves are glad enough " He came to a stum bling halt - "To accept little presents like cars and stuff?" she finished for him dryly. She added severely, "You have too much, that's the trouble. Or at least one trouble. There are a lot of other things wrong with you too." He didn't take offense. He said humbly, "You're the only nurse In the place Grandmother can stand. If you'll just stick with her I promise you'll have no reason to be annoyed with me, you wont have to be at all afraid of me. afraid that" . ; "Afraid!" Candace echoed coldly. "Let me assure you, young man, that it would take more than a fresh youth to scare me off a . (ease.", v. She realized then that she had practically committed herself. She at shrugged mental shoulders: Oh, well, this case or another what '(difference did it make? I ... IPS, HARPER was no more r,A contented at home. She wasn't feeling well, she was slow JJ to get back her strength. She 5 i fretted. "It's this beastly cli s mate," she said. "Not fit for a 7 jdog to live in." ' f She suggested suddenly, "Bech, - let's you and I go to Nassau." W i "Nassau!" Candace repeated, nr. (astounded, as though Nassau were t 'at one of the poles. "Why not?" the old lady said. 'There'd be sunshine, and warm - breezes" When Candace looked doubtful she demanded testily, - "Commitments here? Some young iman who can't be left?" Candace smiled. "No." "Well, then." she said, as thouSh it were all settled. Her manner Ibecame brisk. "Take a coucle of Idays off Patterson can probably Ifind some incompetent fool to take jyour place temporarily ond go lout and buy yourself some gay, jpretty clothes. I shan't be want ling to look at you forever in those uniforms; they depress me. Be sides, I won't be expecting you fto spend every waking minute of jyour time with an unpleasant old (woman " Candace had a sudden suspicion. ;Your grandson?" she suggested. "He wouldn't be going, too, by any chance?" Mrs. Harper said with wlde ,eyed innocence, "But of course! You don't think for one minute that I'd leave Duffy behind, to get iinto lord knows what mischief, ido you?" She saw that Candace looked mutinous and she added slyly, in la tone of mocking raillery, "Oh, come, come, Bech. Surely you don't think Duffy's infatuation for iyou has lasted this long, do you? xou naven't seen any sign of it lately, have you? Hasn't he left you strictly alone?" i But then, before Candace had jchance to answer, she said abrupt Py, "No, that's not fair, that's be ing deliberately misleading. I'll Ibe honest and above board with you, Bech. I've talked with the Iboy, I've warned him, and he won't bother you in any way, he's promised not to intrude himself on ycur notice; but he's not over it, not at all. What is really over, thank goodness, is this business of the Fornay woman." She wrinkled her nose as though tt had been assailed by an un pleasant smell. "You know all about that and how much it wor-1 ,ried me; I've told you. It was jover, apparently, the minute Duffy met you." Candace said sweetly, "How .Very flattering, being lumped to gether with a woman like thatl" ... CHE picked up the wash water and prepared to leave, but Mrs, Harper put out a restraining hand. "I'm not being very tact ful, putting things so baldly, I know that; but, thai, I never have been noteo for tact And I feel it's Important that we understand each other." She looked suddenly almost gentle. "Duffy is really deeply in love with you. I've talked with him, IVe watched him, and I know. What I hoped from tills trip jWas that you'd give yourself a chance to see the good lu the boy; that well, I'd like you for a granddaughter, child." She said, gently scoffing, "I thought it was customary in such a case for the young man to in form the lady in question of his sentiments. We'll let that go, though, and assume that you're right that your grandson is ex tremely fond of me; what reason wouia i nave to suppose that it would last? I read the papers, Mrs. Harper, and I know that there has been a long line of Fifl Fornays already In your grand son's life. I'm afraid marriage wouldn't mean much to him. Once the first novelty of that had worn of? there would probably ba others" The old lady said stubbornly, "A boy has to sow some wild oats. But that's over. He feels differ ently about you, really he does. You could control him. You've got character, my girl, you've got a will strong enough for both." What you're being offered, In other word, Candace told herself, is a lifetime job as wet nurse to a moral moron. ... But then the thought came, well, why not marry him? She had no illusions as to what marriage with him would mean. On the other hand, it would have its compen sations. The news of Peter's com ing marriage had left her with a lost helpless feeling.
