Why did she evade him so often, as she had a moment ago on the beach when he had come closer than he ever had come to her? Had some man been in her life? Were they sending her about America to forget? For all the marquesa’s bab- bling, she had given no hint of sadness in Juanita’s scheme of things. Yet sadness seemed the essence of Juanita, except at such moments as when she played the guitar, for instance. Perhaps it was grief for some one else. Juanita’s mother had died the year before. Her father had died when she was a chila. Whatever was in her past, Kirk felt that it stood botween them more than any prospect of the future. He would not find the winning of Juanita an easy ‘matter if he tcok her back to New Orleans. People were mad about her. They liked the marquesa, too, for that matter. No easy race. There was Bobby Cranshaw with his millions, and there was Rod Stevens. Nelly had had them both to dinner, and twice they had driven out on their own invitation. There was Adrian, too. Adrian was in With Juanita he seemed prepared to be serious. They would see Adrian tomorrow. ving Juanita a dinner on Tarpon int. And Cranshaw and Stevens were making all sorts of plans for Faster week when Juanita should re- turn to New Orleans. Juanita seemed to enjoy them all. Kirk could not distinguish a difference in her manner with any of them, unless it was with Adrian. Adrian seemed to avold, not openly, but in a way that Kirk could divine. For himself, he was certain that she liked him, a: she turned to him in any annoyance, such as when Adrian had arrived unex- pectedly. That night, Kirk recalled, was another time he had seen her alone. They had gone out into the garden in the moonlight, and he had shown her the bulbul bush, Its red flowers were not open yet, but he had picked one of the buds for her while they sat on the garden bench and the sound of music and dancing came from the veranda. It was a night on which Stevens and Cranshaw had come, too. But Juanita did not turn to him for refuge from the past. She let it drop like a veil whenever he came close. Her eyes were. full of the sea as she turned to him, making a movement to go back. Their hour had gone fast. The marquesa was waiting on the steps. Kirk went ahead to meet her. She. stood, bending toward him as he ascended, talking rapidly. Juanpita saw Kirk take out his wallet. The marquesa affected to protest. Presently she was radiant, running back into the house. Juanita looked away as Kirk approached. She felt chagrined. Kirk was smiling. “She gives us half an hour more,” he said.
