MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1988. uying Barbara ©. ‘tay Sulla CheinAAdanns o Later of “POD CONT RAAETO, seeecese SYNOPSIS: Leila Cane learns that Mark Lodely, whom she has loved apctatiy ‘for, verre, ip oured of lg lameness. Barbara Quentin has broken her engagement to Mark: Parrell Armitage, who has devoted much money a: time to curing Mark and launching him as an artist, hopes in the end to win Barbara’s love. Mark, still in ser hospital, is his ol4 arrogant self. Chapter 43 MARK AS PATIENT house in which Mark Lodely + lay strapped immovably into @ plaster cast was as little like a hos- pital ds One could expect. Its facade ‘was cheerful and inside it was rea- sonably quiet, Mark’s room was on the ground floor so that when the weather and his mood permitted he could be wheeled on to a covered porch at the back. Mrs. Lodely visited him daily, Armitage dropped in as seemed necessary, and Kenneth Poole came when he. was sent for. “The sight of me giyes him a bad night,” Poole had explained solemn- iy to Armitage. “Fact. One of bis nurses told me so. It’s far better I should keep away and give the dear fellow every chance of re “Nevertheless, you must be there this afternoon at half-past four. I've asked Leila Cane, too. See she’s punctual, will you?” “Right you are, Guvi” Armitage entered the building on, this foggy day at four o'clock pre- and stood for a moment in the outer hall, taking off his oyer-} of coat, The house-doctor, passing on the other side of the glass swing- doors, pulled them open and called a cheery greeting, At his request Armitage followed him into his of- fice. “How's the patient?” he asked. “The patient, Mr. Armitage, has Feduced two nurses to tears, given me more lip than I’ve stood from anyone in my life, apd thrown a water-jug at his mother. But I un- derstand that's more or less his usual frame of mind.” Armitage grinned. “He has always had a. victous temper. I’m not an admirer of his e@haracter, you know, only of his tt.” “The nurses always report him more cheerful after he has made someone thoroughly wretched,” the doctor added. “It's the people , Whose heart he can’t break that de “That's a downright wicked thing to say, Mark! You know I'd never doubtfully from the visitor to the patient—“do you feel like seein’ Farrellt” Mark’s head turned on its one flat pillow. “My dear Judy, if it weren't for Armitage’s bounty I shouldn't be here at all.” He amiled, the ahfd that slightly showed his teeth and Rarrowed his eyes. “The question of whether I want to see you or not, Armitage, qoesn't really aria, Does it?"~ “Mark! You know, Farrell, h had a bad night, that’s all it is. He doesn’t mean half he says.” Armitage sst down by the wheeled couch, His aversion was for the moment more from the mother than from the gon. How un- pleasing she was in appearance, so slovenly and down at heel! She wore an fll-made grey suit, a brown Dlouse under it and a tie that matched neither. Her hat looked as’ though it were too small for her. “As you see, my mother brings a Dreath of dear old Kings Mallard into all this luxurious monotony,” murmured Mark and not for the first time Armitage uncomfortably contemplated the fact that his thoughts had been read. “The monotony we can none of ws lighten, I'm afraid, Lodely. You PeCCooococcgacorogggooooenonsecoseNs ’ must just count the days. Look on’ them as an investment.” ‘That's what I’m always tellin’ him,” burst in Mrs. Lodely. “I don’t believe he realizes yet what you've done for him, Farrell, I don’t really. After all, it takes a bit of thinkin’ about, when you've béen a cripple all your life, to imagine yourself walkin’ easily. Like ex- plainin’ sight to a blind man; it can’t be done.” Mark had shyt his eyes when this torrent began apd did not open them as he addressed Armitage. “I think I chonld be able to ex-! press my gratitude better if I conla! get some idea of your motive, Not; personal liking; I am sure I may: still take it that your motive is not personal liking. And not the desire to be a patron-saint. No, It is the old puzzle. I suppose it will never be solved.” “I'm ready to solve it now, as it happens.” Mrs. Lodely gaped trom one man to the other in a vague alarm. Mark’s eyes flew open. Yes, there was fear in them. Poor devil. “Some other time?” he suggested, waving a hand. “Unless you feel that you absolutely cannot wait for that gratitude of mine any longer?” “Now, Mark, you're just rilin’ Farrell for no reason whatever. You—” “It’s all right, Mrs. Lodely. I take gic of riling, And eal son is per etly right in requiring some king statement from me, He hag faked for it often enough and it’s only fair that at last he should have it.” “I don’t like statements.” Mark's voice rose fretfully. “Really, Armi- tage, I,don’t feel up to this police- court atmosphere. Let us say that you deserve my most abject devo tion for everything you have done for me, for whatever reason, and let us leave it at that.” He scowled, 9 sick child hugging its grievances, Armitage looked at him with for- bearance, “T'm sorry, but I’m going to make myself clear whether you like it or not. If you genuinely don't wish to listen, you'd better put your fin- gers in your ears.” But Armitage id not turn to Mrs. Lodely, now fidgeting nervously. He went on talking to Mark. “My first confes- sion is no news to your mother Would you have done that, I won- der, 2 I had not had a crutch to drag about with me?” “You can wonder that, if you like,” said Armitage equably. “The point is, of course, that if I'd thought she genuinely cared for you and you could have given her some kind of happiness, I should have got out wi 8 word. But T didn’t think life with you would be anything but hell for her.” Mark's smile grew. Mrs. Lodely, apparently from embarrassment, laughed loud and long. : “Barbara seemed to admit that it would be hell,” went on Armitage, when she was quiet again, “but she insisted that her feeling for you was, if not love, something as great as love and as ‘a “Well, I must say, you folks talk things out pretty freely! Mra. Lodely got up, knocked a vase of flowers over, and wn again. .“I.stpose it does no in a way. but I don’t know I'm sure, it quite takes me aback.” “Go on, Armitage.” challenge to Barbara was ‘she conld see you well, suc ular, finaticlally secure, ghe- would pethaps no longer feel bound to you in the particular way in which she did feel bound.” “Your challenge, did you say?” “My challenge, yes. I said that I would make yon all those things if she, in return, would promise not to marry you for a year.” “But Babs never—but dear old Babs would never—" “Shut up, Judy, can't you?” “The problem of your gratitude need therefore never arise, Lodely. You owe me nothing because what T have done has been done for my own purpose. If I fail, you will still owe me nothing. If I win—” “Shut up, Judy!” (Copyright, 1982, Julia Cleft-Addams) The hat ti Pa atchet falle, tomorrow, on RO SAE BRT NEES LINED NE TOES DLL TELE LTS, SOSSHSEHSSSSOSHOHSOSHSOSSOOOSOHOSSOESSOOSEOSOOSED: THE ARTMAN PRESS PRIN TING IN THE CITIZEN BLDG. eeeccccesccccoeeoceosocososooooosse ry SETRSREN Sas WRRRLY ° KEY WEST OUTFIT 2 2 eee TODAY'S HOROSCOPE | Poccegecessncoaassceance This: is a resourceful day, giving ability. for organization.
