Chapter 34 PET-SHOP HUSBAND : S bsbemapd her two husbands, past and present, Santa sat In @ state of nervous tension. It was like waiting for a bomb to burst. They were behaving beautifully. The so-called club at which they were dining had been one which she and Dicky had frequented dur. ing their engagement. Had Dicky ‘ghosen it to remind her? The head- waiter had immediately recognized them and led the way to what had once been their favorite table. “Monsieur and Madame have: not patronized us lately.” Clive looked blank. “I was never in this joint be fore,” Dicky rose to the occasion. “Unfortunately for me Madame has married.” ARADISE' DAWSON. e * “But you've seén me so often.” scrutiny. Ho surveyed her from head to | heel. “What's the verdict?” She forced a laugh. “I feol sorry for Dak.” =| “Dicky’s a good enough egg when he’s on his best behavior,” she feigned fiippancy. { Clive frowned. “I’m sorry for any man’ who's loved you.” His words caught her by the throat. “Loved and lost you,” he added. “Well, you’ve not lost me; so let’s shufile to bed.” Gathering her cloak, she flung him an arch glance. “You make me langh. You think Pm per fect.” In her room she waited, forlorn and frightened. He'd become a stranger. She coulan’t bring herself to disrobe. It was horrible to be compelled to vamp her own hus- band. Moments dragged. Molehilis swelled into mountains. Supposing he were throtgh with her! How carelessly she'd wounded his sensi- tiveness! If this‘wefe tfuly the end, she was responsible Clive had ideal- ized her into something unearthly; his road te heaven he had called “Help me with my frock,” Santa asked. + Undisturbded by his mistake the to Santa, my congratule- smiling. Dicky, quick to sense her danger, played the gracious host, toasting Clive’s success and keeping the bal) of conversation rolling. the theater Santa’s own drama the drama behind the foot its. The saying about sleeping applies to divorced husbands. Glive was probably quite convinced that she'd stirred up Dicky because she still harbored a weakness for him. But were that the case, why had he accepted Dicky’s offer to eelebrate? Was it in order that he might watch them or to prove to her that he was broad-minded? She longed and dreaded to be alone with him. Twenty-four hours had gone by since she was alone ‘with him. What a fool she’d been to Jock her door against him! During the intervals when they atrolied out to puff a cigarette, she refused their invitation to accom: them. It was a relief to be to repair her complexion. Her thoughts followed them. She was the only topic they had in common, Were they discussing her? On the drive home she slipped her hand into Clive’s; he received it as though it were a package. When the tax! halted, both her ea corts hopped out to assist her to the pagement. “Come up,” Clive invited. “Too late.” Dicky removed his opera-hat. “I'm most grateful to have had this opportunity to know you better.” “The delight’s on our side.” Clive shook his hand cordially. “So long, Santa.” Dicky Included her. Such magnificent amiability! To the gir) who had honeymooned with each in turn, it seemed that she be longed to neither. Meanwhile Clive possessed him- self of her arm, hurrying her to the elevator. Not till they were in their apartment did he utter a word. |. “Let's look at you.” The door opened. He peered in | you.’ He entered, standing just inside the threshold, “Close the door, old man. A kind of silly evening, wasn’t it?” With- out raising her head, she set to work removing her complexion. “I found it educational.” “Seemed silly to me. I was bored.” “Do you object if I smoke?” She glanced up. “You always @o—so why the po- liteness?”" Hoe sank into a chair trom whieh he could gain a full view of her. “What kind of an evening would you have preferred?” “We two, together." She drifted to her feet. “Help me with my frock.” While he eased and jerked, her voice pursued him from beneath the flounces, “Last night I had an awful job with my frock. Nearly called you, Pride prevented.” She emerged slimmer than ever, dimpled, childish—hopeful, Already he'd turned away, leaving her inef fectnal as @ sawdust doll, Addressing his back, she re proached him, “You weren’t very at- tentive, I mean before Dicky, He might have thought—well, almost anything.” “My dear girl, what's your idea of being attentive? Surely you didn’t expect me to parade my fondness? Here was a man who'd gone through all the motions with you, pledging himself for better and worse. “To have been attentive in the way you imply would have seemed ike kicking Bim when he wus down.” “That wasn’t why you weren't at- tentive.” Her bag of tricks was ex- hausted; there remained nothing but honesty. “You're mad with me.” Her voice broke. “How)can I wih forgiveness?" He stood transfixed—atill as a statue, His words came slowly.
