Chapter 30 LEILA SPEAKS ‘HER MIND EFORE Barbara had time to 'be- come frightened a cool voice said—“Hullo! There you are!”— and Leila Cane came out into the hall, “I've bee. to your rooms, Your fandlady said you'd moved’into your Toxeter house, but you just might be here, So I thought fd chance finding you. I’ve come straight trom London.” “Why?” asked Barbara bluntly. The uncertain Nght of the-swing- ing oil Jamp showed no ‘flush on Leila’s clieek, but Barbara sensed that she felt repulsed. “I didn’t mean to sound snubby,” she amended, though without haste. “Only I wondered what you could have to\say to me that was so im- portant.” She caught her breath sharply. “There’s nothing wrong with Mark?” “Mark’s in clover. ... Haye you dealt with all this junk by -your- self?” “Yes.” {Mark's tazy, 1983. me and that he wants us to marry!” “Ot course he tells you that, be ¢ause you’ve made him believe it. Mark’s cruel, and there’s @ side of Mark that makes him hold to you’because with you he can be as lazy and cruel as he chooses. How do you know that with me he might not learn to be less crazy and less cruel?” “Because,” said Barbara, icy, un- relenting, “I saw a portrait he paint- ed of you. He has never been so cruel to me as that!” “Oh, Mark! ‘Oh, Mark!” Lefia’s hands were fititig ‘out, as though she sought for help. Then she went, stiffly back to the table, sat down and held'Wer tiead. Barbara’s anger liad vanished ut- terly. ‘She, too, ‘returtied 'to'tlie ta- ble. “['m terribly ‘sorry ‘I ‘said ‘that, Leila! ‘Terzibly:ashamed!” ‘After 'a moment the muffled voice ‘answered from under shielding ‘fin- gers, “You needn’t be. I provoked you to it: ‘Has anyone besides yourself seen it?” “No,” said Barbara without a qualm. :She added, coming closer— “It’s destroyed now, absolutely obliterated. You can forget it—and everything to do with it.” “I'd like to tell you about—the Portrait,” said Leila, applying lip stick:and powder-puff with ‘careful : precision. “You needn't tell 'me, Leila,’ ! “We were seeing & ‘lot of 3ach other. 1 think Mark waited to fall in love with me; or-perhaps he only wanted to feel free, He seemed to “Just like Mrs, Lodely to swing it all on to you.” “That's not for you to say, Leila.” Leila was unabashed. She turned back into the sitting room’ atid eyed the fountain pen and the papers. ‘She was dressed in the golden tan leather coat ‘and hat in which slie looked so supple and invulnerable and aloof. She picked up a large sealed envelope torn at the edges and weighed it absently in-her hand. “You forgot these, Barbara.” “No. There was no room. I must take them in a separate parcel, ... Oh, that big envelope has split! I supose there was too much in it.” Leila tummed it over carelessly and it split further. It had been ridiculously crammed. “Barbara, I came down to urge you to do Patsy Raou!l’s house.” “I don’t think you bothered to find me just to ask me that.” E Barbara was scornful and because she was algo tired to the point 6 Collapse she Tet her scorn show. She began te put Mrs. ‘Lodély’s pa- pers together, placing one bundle upon the other. Leila’s hand went out and stopped her. “Barvera—" She sounded al- most moved, for Leila—We used to be friends as children, Why do you hate me so?” “I don’t hate you,” she protested —"“exactly.” “I think you 4 you've no reason. What is ityou've got against me?” ¢ “I suppose that I resent—what- ever there is—between you and Mark.” ’ “There's nothing between us new, And for what there once may have been, blame Mark as well as me!” “Blame Mark?” Barbara said, her scorn intensifying. “How futile of you to push responsibility 6n to my poor Mark!” Then she stepped back; back and “back until a chair impeded her re- treat, And step by step Leila, ablaze, pursued her. “Your poor Mark! Why yours— why yours? He could have been “mine! He would have been happier with me. You're lovely, in a picture book way, but you've never attract- ed him as have, He isn’t your type of lover.. Ah, you're offended by that! You think I've no right to say it!” “You have less than no right. You're impertinent.” “And you're selfish!” “Selfish—I? ... Leila, hadn’t ydu better go?” “You are selfish—selfish and Proud. You made a promise when you were too much of a child to un- derstand the nature of it and now it has become a matter of pride with You to keep your word. You never ask yourself if Mark is really happy in your care.” Barbara flung back her head. “I don’t need to ask myself. I ask Mark instead—and he tells me that he is happy and that he loves resent ‘violently that he ‘wds ‘not free; and yet he never contemplated for one instant giving-you up. It was as if‘le—daren’t.” “I'm not his jailer!” “Are you sure-you’re not? Any- way, he was irked and restless and he took it out on me, but only, I swear, because he was irked. I don’t naturally drive him to cruelty, as yourdo.” “It’s useless, this kind of talk.” “No,-not useless, It's part~of what lies between us and it’s time we had it clear... . Barbara, Mark and I decided at Jast—there was a fancy dréss ball in town and we planned—” “ve told you I don't want to know.” “And fT’ve told you I want to tell. We left this ‘hole ‘of ‘a place quite openly byt T turned off the London road the other ‘side’of Toxeter and we went down to-s little village I ot | $Row-on the’ Sotrth‘eoast. ™ “He gave me-an-emerald pendant, ‘9 beautiful thing, set-in ‘platinim. ‘But there was ‘a girl there—a waitressfaintly like -you ‘and it broke ‘Mark’s mood. -Next day he began to taunt me. I went off the deep end—I threw the emerald at him—we had a hell of a row and in the end Idrove up to town, swear- ing he could stick alone there by | fee sea for the Test of his wicked le.” She bent and peered into the mir- Tor in her bag and ran a ‘finger-tip ‘over the arches‘of her brows. “After I'd been in London at the flat—a couple of weeks, he sent me @ photograph. I gaped ‘at it—at first-1 couldn’t get the point at all. You see, I hadn't seen the portrait, then.” “It was a photograph of the por. trait?” “It was indeed!” Leila laughed— the old, mocking laugh, ‘a little bit- ter, a little amused. “You've seen it, you'll ‘know Why I couldn't ‘risk his showing it to anyone.” “e never would have Bhown it. He couldn't!” “Don't be a fool! You know he'd ‘have ‘shown it to all Kings Malisra if it had suited him. Noone would have believed that I hadn't sat for ft. He had been making ‘notes’ of ‘me for weeks, yeu see, and he evi- Gently had had his sketch-book with him—and there’s no doubt he ‘has a wonderful memory... . Well, when Td grasped the idea, I wired him— ‘How much?” “What? You—you dared?” wired back—Fifty.’ informed me afterwards that it bare | ly covered his expenses in getting | back here. He'd written ‘to Mr. | Frere for his fare home and that dlessed old saint went himself by ear and collected bim.” Barbara gripped the table as , though she had taken a blow over i the heart.
