Nesta threw herself back, lit a cigarette,, and smoked for a minute in silence. He was determined not to speak to her. At last she said, with an edge to her voice, “If you're playing a game with me, yow'll be sorry for it.” He lifted his hand from the arm ! of the chair and let it fall again, “If you're not going to explain —".he made as if to rise. “Oh, I'll explain. I hope you'll like the explanation! Dg you really need one? If you do, it may come as a hit of a shock to you.” “Do you mind point?" Nesta laughed. “Have you never heard of the Van Berg emeralds?” He shodk his head. “Sure? Because you've got them soniew !me You took them, you “Sure you can’t remember, Jimmy 7" It was exactly as if Nesta had come towards him with a smile and then thrown a knife. He bad seen knives thrown like that—he didn’t know where or when, but he’d seen it. All right—he'd teach her to throw knives at him. He looked at her with an effect of wooden surprise. “Do you mind saying that again?” She said it again, louder this time. “Why did you talk about the emer- alds in your sleep?” “What emeralds?’ —but in his mind there was a lighted .space where eight square green stones swung from a man's hand—eight square green stones, llnked two and two with pearls. “‘Like a kid's green beads—"" said Nesta with her eyes upon his face. A pulse hammered in his temples. Where did she get that? Someone had said that before . . . a voice <. his voice? “You talked in your sleep,” she said. /Then she dropped her voice. “Jimmy—where are they?” He wrenched away from the pic- ture of the square green stones. ,“3¥ill you tell me what you are talking about?” . ¥Will you tell me you don’! lknaw?" ““Yes, 1 will. I haven't an idea what | you are talking about.” Nesta was smiling. smiled, teeth, too small, pointed. “You wouldn't know an emerald 1t you saw one, I suppose?” Thes, with a .chenge of voice, “Jimmy, we've been partners all through— you simply can’t go back on me like this. Where have you put them?” When she too close, teo E stuck his chin in the air. “What's the good of talking like that? I don’t remember any- thing. You say, where have 1 them—and I keep on telling yan: 1 don’t know what you're talking about. How much “farther do you think that’s going to get us?” 3 “Yon,.don’t kpow what I'm wun; about?” “No, I don’t.” Something bung in the balance. He saw her checked, hesitating, un- certain.

Then he was looking fixedly 21 a point a little to the left of Nerta’s head and saying | quite quietly, “Hadn’t you better begin at the | beginning?"” She drew at her cigarette and blew out the smoke. “The beginning? That's before my time. I can't go any farther back than March.” “Then perhaps you'll begin there.” She hesitated again, bent a sus- picious glance upon him, and said angrily. “If you're making game of me—" He leaned back and closed his eyes. This was the sort of woman who might very easily get herself brained. She exasperated him as much as she repelled him. And he had married her! In heaven's name—why? “All right, I'll begin. And don’t blame me if I'm telling you what place called Packham?” , He shook his head, and then was and-seek with his thoughts. “Well, that's funny — because iYou don’t; remember that?” He shook his head again. “Well, we did. Mr. Entwhistle was abroad, and the Hall was let to Mr. kVan Berg—Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Van Berg. That doesn't mean anything |to you?” “No.” The hide-and-se¢k went on. “Mr. Van Berg had just given her the emeralds. His uncle, old Peter Van Berg, left them to him. He was the second richest man in America, and he’d spent half bis life collecting emeralds. His nephews got the lot, t jand he took Packham Hall and gave them to his wife, and she was going to be presented in them and splash about London with the most valu- able set of emeralds in the world. She was crazy about them.” She stopped, titted up her chin, blew out a cloud of smoke, and added, “So were you.” (Copyright, 1983, J. B.
