MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 1986. (NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY ~ NEVER MIND THE LADY by David Gart SYNOFSIS: Allaire West just has dropped in on her dissipated father at his enormous estate in eginia. But she after talking with him that she cannot stick 4t out and starts back to Washington to visit her giddy mother. Ray West, disconcerted in turn, orders his private car to be attached to the New York train. Meanwhile, Terry Willett just has returned his father to Carteret Va., for his last long rest—and while stalking to the rector is wondering whether to go back to the tropics Gnd his engineering contract. Chapter 19. INTRUSION TE venerable rector, who had both christened and buried Lawrence Willett, was disturbed— this powerful bronzed son was get ting ready to ride again. He tried to arouse in him some softening sense of Family by pointing out the various inscriptions in the little churchyard. He showed Willett where lay the ancestor who had zeen killed in the fighting around Fort Duquesne in} the Year of Uur Lord seventeen nun dred and forty-tive. The marker was of red stone, weathered, cracked, and nearl: undecipherable. There was the Willet who bad/ come home to die from the rigors | of the Lewis and Clark empire | building expedition, and tne three | sons of Judge Nathaniel Willett who had galloped neli-for-teather with it MBeauty” Stuart's cavalry into lines »,Of belching guns, é (1 Quite an iliustrious cavalcade to | sePide behind alune, but ferry Wil | ‘gtt nad been knocking around the gyarid too long to have assimilated @By sense of Family He listened | y1€eurteously and then looked at his | wrist watch. | ood bye, sir,” he said. “I'll be| pushing along.” “Terence,” said the minister, “haven't you thought you might have @ duty to—all of them here?” Willett gave him a long straight glance. “Duty” he said. “Don’t talk to me of duty, sir. I'm a bust as an en gineer and a worse bust as a son. Let it go at that.” The minister didn’t want to let it go at that by any means, but there was ncthing he could do about it “At least you might be tuterested in seeing your old home,” he urgea putting his stiff aged fingers into Willett’s firm and youthful clasp “A graceful courtesy to father, Terence.” “Where is the governor's place?” The minister furnished explicit directions. Willett nodded. “Might take a look at it. Thanks for everything; you were damo decent.” your | E strode off. “You were damn] decent.” The n.inister shook nis head slowly, put his pince-nez back astride his nose, ard reflected sad ty that divinity schools have their limits. The historic town square was protected by an iron fence—there Was some sort of a statue— Willett walked through the town of his fore- fathers with the attitude of a man waiting for his train to get through a tunnel. But he stopped to look at the house where his father hgd been born— a big white house With six columns rising to the roof jcornice. There was a drive throughjan ave- nue of locust trees and at $ne side of the house wer: the overgrown remains of a terraced gardbn. Nobody had lived here for some time—the house was boarded up, the grass needed mowing, and a Weatherbeaten sign stuck, in the| Jawn announced the property was for sale or rent and referred to some bank. ! His face was a study as he looked searghingly at the place, ks if to drin& in a picture that would last, becquse this was a day of last farewells before the world moved on. Some day he might want to re member it, some day, somewhere— A train whistle sounded down the valley. Willett snapped to. Good- bye, Dad, here’s how! The fast-flying “Old Dominion” disdained to stop in Carteret for-the sake of passengers, but the little matter of a water tank was accepted as a necessary evil. Clouds of steam issued from the hot boxes, a conducto> waited watch in hand on the platform for the flash, and two little barefooted negro boys stood near the observa- tion platform of a long silver-gray private car named “Débutante II,” their eyes popping out of their heads. ‘ERRY WILLETT arrived at the Station on the jump. “That was the New York train?” he asked the station agent. “Yeah, but it ain’t the local,” said the agent. “This train don’t stop for passengers.” ‘NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY | | “Whatever it’s doing now,” said Willett, “is all right with me.” He walked over to “Débutante ll” and swung up on the observa tion platform. “Hey!” yelled a brakeman. “That’s @ private car.” “Do tell me,” said Willett. “What’s private about it?” “I'm tellin’ you you. can’t :ride there.” “If you don’t like it,” said Wil- lett, “there are any number of things you can do with it.” A negro in white servitor’s coat came out on the platform. . | “This is a private car, suh,” he warned. “You can’t ride heab. Ah’m telling you.” : “Listen, you,” said Willett. “Yor can’t tell me anything.” i “Don’t talk to me of duty, sir,” said Terry. “Tough guy, huh?” commented the brakeman from the station plat- form. : “Come on up here, flunky,” {n- vited Willett, “and find out for yourself.” The brakeman decided it didn’t really make any difference anyway, but the negro began an officious protest. Willett inquired if he'd like to be tossed right the hell off the train entirely. The inquiry was attended with an unmistakable eagerness and put an end to further argument. The train began to move, and Willett brushed him aside and went into the car. {t was a private car all right— big club chairs, a small mahogany bar, thick grey carpet and soft- toned curtains—a blend of luxuri- ous comfort and modernistic beauty. A pretty girl ana two men were shooting dice on the floor. Tall glasses reposed perilcesly close to their heels, and a nearby buffet table was laden with a parade of bottles and bowls of cracked ice, “Listen,” the girl was saying spiritedly, “I left a six here and you can’t put me behind the eight ball with Snake Eyes. A woman has some rights, you pirates.” Her indignant pronouncement met with an exception from one of the men, a young army officer. She leaned weakly back on sf | i heels and noticed Willett, “Well, well,” she observed, “look what wandering boy saw the light in the window.” ; (Copyright, 1988, ‘by David Tomorrow Puff takes a Terry Willett. 1821—Indianapolis, so-named by Legislature in second year of its existence, 1838—Morse made his first ex- periment in telegraphy in a Speed- well, N.
