DISHEARTENING DECISION
CHAPTER VI
TT occurred lo Pat that she would
.never have done such a crude
thing as Loraine Stuart did.
"She stepped in and literally
took the corsage and candy," Pat
recalled, that evening. "He meant
them for me. He said so. But
then " She frowned, thinking.
"No. .... No, maybo she was
veil, of course. Of course ;f he
came in with gifts she'd expect
them. After all she is his fiancee.
Far as I'm concerned,- I'm just a
recruit who who made good, I
guess. And he was an officer who
ielt he ought to encourage me.
Morale stuff, with presents. . . .
But no! That doesn't jibe, either!
Doggone her time, she read his
note on my desk and came in
there to meet him, too! I just
know she did!"
Her conjecture over the matter
didn't calm her feelings at all, so
she went to bed determined to
sleep off any lingering anger. It
was a wise, tested thing to do.
Fat awoke fresh and happy next
day.
At work next morning, too, Pat
had new cause for happiness; or
at least for hope. It was a hope
she had never yet phrased or
otherwise admitted, even to her
self. It was just an incipient hope,
a nebulous, lurking, embryonic,
but aggressive little hope, which
Pat subconsciously squelched but
still allowed to live. She squelched
it because obviously it would be
foolish to nourish it; if a man
comes right out and tells you that
he is engaged to another girl,
you'd be wacky to let yourself
fall in love with him. . . . Let
yourself? . . . There's no "letting"
or anything of the sort, about love!
It's a thing quite out of control.
Which is why, Pat had to admit
now, the nebulous little hope kept
squirming deep down inside her.
The morning's new cause for
happiness was that Jimmy Carr
appeared in his new uniform, now
Capt James Carr of the U. S.
Army Glider Corps. Pat beamed
as Captains Howe, Mcintosh and
David huddled around him, con
gratulating him on his appoint
ment They gathered around
Pat's desk. Later, too, austere old
Colonel Puredy joined them.
"The test flight must be abso
lutely perfect, gentlemen," Colonel
Furedy explained. "It will be
widety publicized in every possible
way. The newspapers, newsreels,
radio, magazines, all have prom
ised their co-operation. This is
our big opportunity to acquaint
the American public with soar
ing." "Right, sir!" Jimmy agreed.
"And there's this, too if we want
to capture America, the passenger
I take ought to be a woman."
"By all means, by all means,
Captain!"
AS if by signal, then, the of
ficers all looked at Pat. She
put down her pencil and short
hand book, and smiled at them.
"You seem to be looking for
me to agree," she said quietly.
"All right, I do agree! If you
leave American women out of
anything it will fail!"
"haw-w-wp!" Old Colonel Fu
redy roared in laughter, approving
laughter.- "Correct you are, young
woman! Haw-w-wp! I say, Carr,
who is ah young lady, are you
one of our recruits?"
"She passed her solo test yes
terday, sir," Jimmy supplied.
They made a happy little cere
mony out of the introductions
then. Pat felt herself thrilling all
through. There was something
grand something altogether tip
lifting about this. Two weeks ago
she hd been slaving for a dirty
minded boss in a second base
ment, doing nothing and earning
nothing of which she could be
proud. But today, she was in the
center of nationally important
things! Here, right now, signifi
cant events were being planned
and she herself was in on the
planning! On the "inside"!
It kept on that way, too. For
three days Pat was extremely!
busy. Jimmy Carr would rush in,
rattle off some orders for her, and
shed spend hours on long dis
tance telephone for him. Twice,
believe it or not, she actually
talked to the White House itself;
lo-Mr. Roosevelt's secretary.
"You arrange every detail, Pat,"
Jimmy ordered. "Use that, tih,
that source mindl Remember?"
He grinned, then.
"Please, Jimmy! But I'll try
tny best!"
Jimmy delegated three other
office girls to help Pat, which
didn't hurt her feelings. It gave
her needed time to be hostess to
news men, radio people, and
others who were flocking in with
their own plans. Most of these
Sho personally took "upstairs,"
soaring. She won them whole
heartedly, not only as a charming
representative of the big soaring
field here, but as a charming little
101-pound somebody with a cute
name. Two reporters, especially,
found repented excuses to "inter
view" Pat; she had to outma
neuver them.
DURING the days of preparation
llllU UlllllJjJtlUUIl UL me Ulg
soaring flight, Pnt's own picture
began to creep Into the American
press. Pal, with Captain This or
ftlajor That.TslllIng in a sailplane.
Cyright, 1943
NCA Service, Inc.
Pat, Willi austere Colonel Furedy,
commander of this biggest soaring
field here at Elmira, N. Y. Pat,
pointing to a mop of the United
States showing the proposed route
of the flight Jimmy would take.
It was all this and a great many
other details which allowed the
nebulous hope to grow less nebu
lous nnd more real, inside Pat's
heart Colonel Furedy had "taken"
to her. And there had to bo a
woman passenger. And she, Pat,
had become a soaring expert And
she, Pat, was Jimmy's private sec
retary, managing all his office af
fairs. And she, Pat "yes, dag
gone it, I DO love him, and I
can't hide it from myself any
longer!" That frank outburst
came in private one midnight, on
the pillow in her own dark room.
She hadn't been sleeping; she had
been thinking, and dreaming.
But four days later the time
came, inevitably, when the press
wanted to know the name of the
woman who would accompany
Captain Carr. And by then, Pat
knew that Jimmy had been given
freedom to make his own choice,
but Jimmy was out of town for
the day. Once more she would
have to act for him.
That was when the hope inside
Pat quickly died; a hope she had
dared to cherish. Right now, she
had to do something that was
going to hurt terribly. "It's the
least I can do for Jimmy," she
reminded herself, "if I really love
him."
Black, abysmal loneliness en
gulfed her, in the moment she
hesitated here. She wanted to
rush out sobbing, but even that
comfort had to be denied.
Quietly, she turned to the re
porters and said, "Captain Carr
will take Miss Loraine Stuart, his
fiancee."
