She returns from preceded by rumors of ex- eiting entanglements abroad. The rumors are groundless, but Ven- foe has initiated them. She is trying to capture Rollo Wain- wright, who formerly ignored her. " Chapter 34, ROLLO BEARS UP Venice picked up the telephone. “Hello, Rollo.” “Hello, Venice. You're not angry with me, are you?” “Of course not.” “When may I see you?” “Tomorrow.” “Fine. We might dine some- where.” No, not another night when she might miss that telephone call. The week is almost up, went her mind. “You come to dinner here, Rollo. games when “Two’s company, Venice. Four's a nuisance,” Rollo said. “Two's company, Venice. Four's a unisance,” Rollo sald Tl ask Lola and Jerry and we'll have some contract.” “Two's company, Venice. Four's 4 nuisance.” Two's a nuisance was what was in her head but she said sweetly, “Bear up, Rollo.” “I must, I suppose. What time?” “Beven-thirty.” Venice went. early to bed with a book. She could not concentrate. Her mind reviewed New York's reception of the Venice Muir for whom a marquis had killed him- @elf. The same Venice, sensitive and only able to make light con- versation when sudden attention went to her head, but men asked to be introduced to her at parties #ow and she had never once this winter come home from any enter- tainment alone. Three men had tried to kiss her, five had suceeded in holding her hands. It was fan- tastic, grotesque. It didn’t actually matter what you were; it only mat- tered what people thought you were. She sighed. She enjoyed people liking her but they didn’t really like her for what she hon- estly was. It ajl seemed empty and futfle and lacking in any of the \qudlities that actually warmed ~ your 4nkides and gave you genuine hap- pinéss.

Every one else seemed to think so véfy much .of him that it was a break in the monotony of his contracts. She smiled sweetly. “Why should I, Rollo? You think too much of yourself to leave any one else very much to work on.” “You mean I'm conceited?” “Did I imply that?” She wanted to laugh. It was so patent that he could not believe his ears. “I suppose you didn’t. I-sheuldn’t be so super-sensitive.” “No,” said Venice. “I don't know where I'm at with you, Venice.
