CHAPTER VTI 'I 'HE apartment was on the 'fourth floor of -a walk-up in rutbmh.- As Toby Masters turned the key to the lock, she told Beatrice (ally, "We have to be careful not to get up from a chair too suddenly, or we knock each other down." ' But when the door opened, Bea trice saw that the apartment had Dean lovingly decorated. There was -a studio couch doing duty as a sofa. It was covered in fay. "I made that myself. Remnants from Huntington's, at employe dis count,' Toby explained. ' There were two dub chairs, Seduced," said Toby. There was leaf table with a radio, maga zines, a, cigaret box and a really handsome 'lamp. . Here's the kitchen.- It had been managed out ot a closet. Shelves held dishes, pots, a can ister of coffee, a tiny bread box. Underneath was a tiny sink, a two-burner gas stove, and a little-cabinet hung above the stove. That's our grocery cupboard. Spaghetti, canned soup, other stuff we keep for the end of the week when -we're broke. ..." think it's lovely," Beatrice said. "Wait till you see our bedroom!" Their bedroom was smaller, if possible, than the living room. .Two narrow, headless beds and a taU chest of drawers crowded it so r that you could barely navigate from door to closet. "The beds are simply twin mattresses on twin springs with legs. Clever, huh? The chest belongs to Vera, so I contributed the full-length minor on. the closet door instead of a bureau." , tTERA. it developed, had already arrived. "But ifs her. night to get .dinner. I suppose she ran down to- -the - corner for some thing. - "I hate to inconvenience you," Beatrice murmured. "Perhaps your friend isnt going to like my being here. : rYera? You dont know her! wiry, last winter, a reporter friend of hers male, mind you! spent on that studio couch, while IT locked our door every night with key from the Bve-end-ten, and put on my winter coat -every mormng to -navigate to the bathroom!" Beatrice couldnt help bushing. She was still laughing when the door opened, and a tail, amaz- lingly beautiful girl with coai black hair walked in. Toby cried, "Vera, where have you been? Not even a package? Do you mean to say you didn't (start dinner?" "Of course. I didn't start dinner. (I have seven cents, exactly. I for got to mention it this morning. -well, where have you been?" "Walking around the block with Terry." Toby turned to Beatrice. "Terry Ms one ot Vera's insanities. He's a photographer, without a grain of common sense. He spends his money for films, flash bulbs, chemicals and $100 cameras, on the instalment plan. And right now. Be s downstairs waiting for Vera to get me talked around to inviting him- tm here for dinner. Isnt that it. Vera? You have seven i cents and Terry's probably got !one." Vera sank down- Into a ch ab end stretched out her long, lovely legs.' "As a matter of fact, Toby, that's it I thought maybe he had some money, so I nhoned him. but " "You thought maybe he had some money!" Toby's sarcasm was devastating. "Well, go on down land haul him up here. No, wait Here's a dollar. Send him around to the delicatessen, first" Beatrice opened her handbag. "Toby, let me. After all, I'm the wne who" "Yes, I forgot to tell you," Toby put in, carelessly, to Vera. "This is Bee Davis, she's soendins the might with us. I'm taking her 'down to the store In the morning 110 see bdoui a-joo." j Beatrice handed $2 to Vera. Vera stared down at the money. "Lady, are you cracked? Do you think we're feeding a regiment? I There's Just four of us, you know, land potato salad at 20 cents a I pound, and bologna at " :' Toby dived for the money. "Don't take it It's her last ditch fund!" ! '."But I've crossed the ditch. I've practically got a job!" Beatrice in sisted. Vera said, "All right Well celebrate.' Spiced beef and pickled herring. What kind of cake do you like?" "Cheese cake." said Toby. "That's expensive." -Vi. e TT was a gay, completely infor- l-S- Mai ' . Th-v nlr. -ff - wobbly, card table set up in the living room. Vera made the coffee, and everybody helped to unwrap the delicatessen packages and slap them down on plates. Beatrice had never In her life eaten spiced beef, pickled herring, hard rolls, potato salad and sour green to matoes. But she found them de licious. . 1 -Terry t enormously, confiding between mouthfuls, "Had no .lunch." After his second cup ot .coffee, he tilted, back the. sfiindl bridge chair and remarked, "What a harem! Three beautiful girls and all for me! I with I had the price of a movie, kids." "But Instead," said Vera, "you have some films to develop. I frel it coming on. Eat and run, that's you." "Well. yes. As a matter of fact . . ." Vera got up and threw his hat at him. "Get out ol here! Pig!" Toby leaped to her feet "Wait a minute. There's the little matter of dishes, my boy." Terry hunched his broad shoul ders and shivered. "Dishes!" Then his eye lighted on Beatrice. "Hey, m not the only guest around here. Make her help me!" The dishtowd in her fingers, watching him expertly dunking a cup into hot soapy water, Beatrice realized that this was the first time in her life she had ever ac tually helped with this task that inevitably followed every meal she had ever eaten. She was clumsy, and he sneered at her. "Dont dab! Wipe!" He took the towel out ot her hand, at last "A fine wife you'll make some miserable man. Go on in there and decorate the sofa. At least you're good at that" His eyes narrowed. "You know, I keep having the feeling that I've seen vou before. Somewhere. That little tilt to your chin the way you wear your hair1 You remind me of something. It's vaguely swimming around in the back of my head. Some kind of an opulent scene goes with it I cant think." "You must be mistaken," she heard herself saying coolly. "I've never seen you before in my life." "Yes, yes, I know. But I've seen you. I used to be a publicity cameraman, you know. Montauk Point Miami Beach, Palm Springs swell resort hotels" "That must account for the opulent scenes," said Beatrice. "You've got me mixed up with someone else." Terry's eyes were still narrowed and speculative. "Maybe. But who's the gal I've got you mixed up with?" T Be Centinard) THIS CURIOUS WORLD AT THE BeGPrsirslINO OF THff PRESENT WAR.
