Outrageous Fortune yw. Car “Jimmy” to Ledlington, Serra ‘e_tedtington, and i: Chapter 14 = * CAROLINE’S PLEA OLINE felt as if there were strong invisible bars between them. She lifted her chin and took a step forward. All the bolts and bars in the world weren’t going to keep her from Jim. “May I come in?” Nesta stood where she was, the door half closed. “Ym Mrs, Riddell—but I don’t know who you are.” “I'm Caroline Leigh. I've got a mess@ge from the Elston cottage hospital. May I come in?” Nesta Riddell had no intention of talking about the Elston cottage hos- pital at Min’s front door, She stepped Dack, let Caroline pass her and, shutting the door, showed the way into the parlor. Caroline turned to face her, flushed with success. There, beside the hearth, was the coalscuttle, as bright as a new pen- ny. She held out the bill. “E think you dropped this bill. The nurse asked me to give it to you.’ ~ Nesta glanced at it, frowned, and erushed it in her hand. “Thank you—you needn't have troubled; it didn’t matter.” “Oh, but I was coming to see you anyhow.” “You were coming to see me? What for?” Caroline stayed silent. Her feeling of 6uccess drained away. She felt as if ghe were on the edge of saying something very important. Onc had said it, she would not be able to take it back. Yet she must gay it. Only what it was that she mist say she did not really know, she said it. “Where's Jim?” Nesta’s hand closed hard upon the crumpled bill. Jim wasn’t here, goodness. It was no more than ten minutes since he barged out of the house. Jim! She'd teach other women to come. her husband. She repeated the name in @ most offensive voice, sin, Jim Randal. The nurse said—” “What does she know about it? He's my husband.” “Are you sure?” ita laughed angrily, yhat do you suppose?” “The nurse said—" “And I say, what does she know about it?” “Please let me speak. The nurse eaid there was a piece of letter in his pocket with the signature Caroline, T'm Caroline, and I sent hima letter signed just like that, 0 you see—" TA’S manner changed. She smoothed away her frown and said in her best company manner: “It's a pity you've had 6o much trouble for nothing. The letter was from: a Miss Caroline Bussell, who is ® cousin of mine.” Dejection flowed in upon Caroline Uke a fog. It all came out so pat— Miss Caroline Bussell—a cousin of mine, ... She couldn't have invented @ name like Caroline Bussell all in one flashing instant. lifted her head as if to get above the fog and asked: “Have you got the letter here?” . “No, I haven't. { don’t keep old torn bits of paper.” “It I could have seen it—” sald Caroline very earnestly, She was Dressing her hands together, palm to palm, and finger to finger, Her eyes under her little brown tweed cap, the bright clear brown of peaty water, gazed pleadingly at Nesta. Her-hair was the same bright color. Nesta did not answer in words. She smiled a little. “If you would lend me a pencil— it I could write my name—you'd know if it was the same,” “Do you think I don't kaow my own husband?” said Nesta. What did one say to that—what could one say? Of course she must know her own husband. Caroline's hope was a pricked bubble, She had made a fool of herself to a woman with a rasping voice and eyes like bits of tin.

Sie Sb tec Nesta stood aside to let her pass, but just on the threshold Caroline! turned, her color changing brightly. “Have you got a photograph of your husband?” ~ ‘ “No, Ehaven’t," « & : “Not even a snapshot?” “T’ve said no, haven't I?” Caroline rested her hand upon the! Jamb of the door. Something in her, would not take Nésta’s io; she; couldn't tell why. Eager words came hurrying to her ips. * f “Mrs, Riddell—I don’t feel as if 1: could go away without seeing him.) Won't you try and understand how, I feel about it? It’s such a strong; feeling—I can’t shake it off. If I go’ away like this, I shall keep on think-! ing about him, and about my letter— the one I wrote and signed Caroline.: And I shall keep on thinking, ‘Sup- Dose it was Jim.’ But if I were to see him, I should know.” The hard color rose in Nesta’s cheeks. if vi “Are you calling me a Har?” she said. “Because if you are, I've had enough. Jim Riddell’s my husband, and I've got my marriage lines to prove it: I don't know who you are; and I don't care.

Let me tell you that you'll not see! him, not if you were to stay here all day. He’s got something better to do than sit about at home waiting his lady friends to drop in. He’s got! our keep to edrn and & job to go to. And I'll thank you to be off out of: this.” ‘ Caroline's hand dropped from:the| door, She looked taller. She was’ pale. | She said, “Good morning, Mrs. Riddell,” and walked out of the house and down the gravel path to the car. ‘ESTA RIDDELL had time to wonder what had happened to! Jim during the hours that followed. T} When at last an uncertain: step; sounded on the gravel path, she ren, to the door, anxiety flaring into anger. “Where have you been?” she be- gan, and then stopped as he lurched! past her into the parlor. She thought at first that he was drunk, but it was fatigue that sent him reeling to the nearest chair. “Where have you been?” she re, Deated. “You look all in. What d'you! want to go walking about till you're fit to drop? Six hours you've been gone, and you couldn't have had a bite or a drop, because you hadn’t @ copper on you. Hold on and I'll get you something—Min's. got a: kettle on.” F 4 ‘ She brought him cold meat and vegetables and a cup of strong tea, and followed up the meat with bread and cheese. When he had eaten and he had taken the things away, she came back and looked at! him sharply. “Been a bit of @ fool, haven't you? What d’you want to go flinging off like that? You've been ill, you know —and you get up out of bed and go walking about for the best part of seven hours on an empty stomach! Batty,-I eall it!” ‘ i ‘He was lying: back in one of thé red ‘ahd blue chairs, ‘his ‘face stip: ened, ‘hig eyes fied and heavy. He! had the look'‘of an exhisustfon-which while thoughts ‘whfch He couht act out<tistance pursued and threatenéd him. They drove him, and he was driven without hope of escape. He did not know where he had been; only ae he lifted the latch and felt his feet upon the new gravel Tom Williams had laid down, fatigue came upon him like an insupportable weight. The food had done him good. Now there was @ duliness on him.’ It was like the fog. He frowned at the recollection of the fog. t “You'd better get to bed,” said Nesta briekly. And presently he was tn bed and sinking, sinking down, into the depths of sleep. (Copyright, 1988, J. B.
