“Weather Gypsy Weather! SYNOPSIS: In an effort to help his sister-in-law Hope, Dirk Joris has asked her father to come to her from Et Paso. He arrives, makes eryptic remarks about Hope’s hav- ing taken the wrong path, and final- ly consents to see her, There is a deep mystery in Hope's life, Dirk knows. Her sudden marriage to Rupert Joris, the circumstances of her first meeting with Dirk, her strange trysts with someone named Fazzini over a speakeasy in New York all point to tt. Chapter 32 CURIOUS VISIT EVINE laid the hat and coat he had picked up on the table again. Dirk went upstairs, where he found Mary in the hall. Mary said that Mrs. Joris was awake. Dirk assured her that Mrs. Joris must be prepared. “Say to her, ‘Your father, the Rev. Devine, is here.’ Just that. Then if she wants to see him, ke may go in. Tell her that 1 telegraphed him. Not because she is terribly ill, but be- canse | thought it would do her good to have him kere. You see, if it won't do her good, if she doesn’t want to see him, there'll be no sense in his going in.” Mary looked so mystified at Dirk's insistence on this tautology (Mrs. Joris wasn’t so ill that she needed to be reminded who her father was!) that Dirk added: “Perhaps I'd better tell her, my- self.” “Oh, no, sir!” said Mary. Of course she wouldn't tell Mister Dirk, but Mrs. Joris had asked that very afternoon that he be kept out of her room. She repeated the words to Hope @ moment later. Hope lay a passive atom in the great bed. The shadows beneath her drowsy eyes were blue as bruises. The eyes flew open, dark, incredulous. “Who?” “Your father, Ma'am. The Rev. Silas Devine.” Hope sat up. “Dirk did this,” she whispered. “He telegraphed.” “Mister Dirk wired him that you were ill.” Hope, sitting up in bed. appeared to be thinking, thinking fast. “I'll see him,” she said. “Please say to Mister Dirk that I'll be glad to see ‘im. Glad. Do you under- stand?” “I do, Ma’am.” They seemed very careful about the message they sent each other. “My clothes,” said Hope. “Get me my clothes.” She was out of bed, standing whitely, looking a little dizzy. Mary, who had not anticipated that sudden move, drew her back. pressed the covers abou: her. “But Ma’am, your own father! He wi"! come in here. He will come to you.” “Alone!” breathed Hope. “He must come in quite alone, and ‘e main in here, alone. No one else. No one. See that Dirk understands that. And that I'm glad . . . glad to see him. How does he seem?” with a lit tle catch of the breath. “I mean. . does he seem kind? Merciful?” “L haven't seen him, Ma‘am. But | know that everything wil! be as you would like it. Otherwise, he would not have come.... And now. . don’t talk any more. Except to him. 1 will brush your hair. and we will put on the bed-jacket with the roses, and all the little lace pillows behind you.” There were dozens of these. Hope lay enthroned like a pale queen when Mary stole out to summon the Rev. Devine. Dirk was waiting in the hall. “How was it ie asked. “She's glad. sir. Gla to see him. Glad he’s come—just ar I knew she would be.” Dirk was relieved. Mary added: “She must see him alone, sir. Quite alone.” “Ot course.” “And he must be kind, sir. He must be forgiving. She’s a little... nervous about that, sir.” “I've cautioned him,” Dirk said. “But I'll speak of it again.” ‘HE REV. DEVINE when cau- tioaed again, repeated that he understood. He came with Dirk up stairs. Mary admitted him to the room, and withdrew. She said to Dirk in the hall: “T'll fix up the south room, shall I, sir? Mr. Devine may wish to stay the night.” Dirk assented, and Mary prepared the room. She was sleeping in Rupert's room now, occupying a cot that had been placed in the passage between that room and Hope's. The door was closed tonight, but Mary, making ready for bed, could hear Today I n History e artholomew Gosnold, 1602 — English merchant-voyager, had founded the who settlement Buzzard’s Bay, R.

She would not undress yet, she de- cided, because she must show the Rev. Devine to his room. She would do, however, what she could, like washing her face and saying her prayers. ... Poor “ister Rupert... there was something sad in using his wash-bowl, and not knowing if he would ever come back to it any more!... Mary, having washed her face, had just sat down in Mister Rupert’s leather-covered chair beside the lamp when she became aware that the blur of conversation in the next room had become clear, disturbingly clear. Hope had said something—Mary could not tell what, because she had not been listening—and now the Rev. Devine was replying. His voice sounded as if he had risen, as if he stood beside the outer door which was not far from this door here. He said: “I will not be party to any such thing. What wonder that you are il? Your cure lies only with your- self.” Again the blurred murmurs— Hope speaking, the Rev. Devine speaking. (Mary could have heard that, too, if her ears hadn't been so poor.) Then an audible parting word from the Rev. Devine: “You have no right to stay here; no right to sacrifice others. I will not be party to it.” A door cpened and closed. There was silence. Or was there? Mary's ears could not be sure. But she was fearful for her charge (the next time she rec- ommended a visit from estranged parents!) and she opened ‘the door beside the cot, and went into Hope's room. Hope was sitting up in bed, her wide, dilated eyes on the other door. “See where he’s gone!" she cried to Mary. “See what he’s doing! ... Don't let him go to Dirk!” Mary went out into the hall in time to see the Rev. Devine finish the descent of the stair, take hat and coat from the table near the door, and depart—all very sternly, very quietly. “He's gone,” she said, returning to the room. OPE lay back on the pillows with closed eyes. Mary felt the small quick pulse, rubbed the cold hands, Her thoughts were profane. She drew the covers about Hope’s shoulders, and raised a window to air the room. ... How would she ever tell Mister Dirk that her pre- scription had acted like this? .. . She needn’t. “There now. it's not worth it. It's not worth worrying over.” Mary patted the shoulder underneath the cover. “Go to sleep, poor lady. {t will all be right in the morning. I've seen many a hard father in my day.” Mary wanted to add, “But this is the worst of the lot.” Instead, she ‘said, “They all lived to be sorry. They did, indeed.” Hope’s dark gaze moved up to her face. “What do you mean? Why do you say he is hard?” “She don’t want even me to know,” thought Mary, and answered soothingly: “His leaving so soon, Ma'am. And I'd got the south room ready for him” : “He had to go,” said Hope. “If Dirk asks about it, please say that he... had to go. I'm not so... very ill. I've had these. . . these illnesses before. | always get well. He knows that. It was nothing to come on for. Dirk shouldn't have wired him.” Mary looked away before fhe» searching eyes.

I kag just | come in my room, and heard him go out. He hadn’t been here half-an- hour, but that was enough.” (“It was indeed,” thought Mary.) “I didn’t want him to disturb Dirk,” added Hope more quietly. “I really feel better... now that it’s over. Now that I've seen him, I mean.” Mary hoped this was true. She removed the bed-jacket from her patient’s shoulders, took away all the little pillows except the big soft one that immediately engulfed the small white face. Her hand moved to the chain of the night-lamp. “Good night, Ma'am.” Obediently Hope closed her eyes. (Copyright, 1935 Margaret Belt Houston) Dirk Is amazed at the Improves ment in Hope, tomorrow.
