SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1986. THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance just has broken the news to her charm- ing family that she is going to teach school next term in Ashboro, a. She has from feminine mother, Milly; to matter ‘of fact Jill and to artistio Pat, her easy going brother. Pat says good- humoredly that Carol ts after o man— Chapter Two GOLF TRUTHS ‘HE trouble was, Carol knew, that * there hadn't been anyone in Meredith worth lifting 2 finger for— not since Bill Faraday. After Bill— nothing but casual attractions. Boys and men who took you to dances and movies, and kissed you when you felt like letting them, which wasn’t often. She had liked a few of them— had even played with the idea of marrying one—but she knew the at- traction was only physical. You couldn't marry a man be cause he had a nice body and played beautiful golf end knew how to make love; not when you had to conceal so carefully the fact that you were blessed, 01 cursed, with twice his intelligence. as-they-take their- flight feeling: that’s what's giving everything a special value right now.” She looked at him in astonish- ment. How could Pat know that, who had never been away? How could Pat, at twenty-one, know half the things he did know? “{ may as well break down and admit,” Carol said as they left the tee, “that you’re my greatest worry. You're so darn smart you frighten me.” His laugh was short and hard. “That's a fast one.” “No it’s not.” She looked squarely at him; at his gaunt, beautifully chiselled face, with the inevitable lock of straight fair hair hanging in his eyes. “What d’you want to do, Pat? Paint—act—write?” He shrugged. “Whichever I’m not | doing at the moment.” ‘HAT was Pat, of course. Grass was always greener in the other pasture. “I've been thinking about it a lot,” she went on. “Assuming that some angel put you on Broad- way or in Hoilywood (which they won’t) you'd have to fight and claw your way up, and you'll never do it. You'd have everything but the brass, and that’s as important ability— if not more so. And painting's still longer and harder, and likewise im- possible here.” Pat played his second shot carelessly, faultlessly. Tears scorched Carol's lids and her hands were clenched behind her back. God, this is awful! she thought: I wonder if it’s worth it? She left the hearth-rug and hunted down a cigaret, just to keep her face from the others; lit it and exhaled a cloud of thin blue smoke. With her back to them she said: “I think I'll wait a few months and see how I make out this time. I may not be able to stand the gaff. In that case I'll borrow a leaf from Jill and take a business course. ...” ip said finally, out of the silence that engulfed them all: “Well, fet’s don’t sit and look at the corpse. Who wants to play a few holes of golf?” The atmosphere lightened at once. Even the room disliked unhappiness. Carol nodded. “Suits me.” And Milly said: “I’m not in the class with you children, but I'll take my book and sit on the porch.” “Fine.” Pat was convincingly hearty. “I'll give you ten minutes to get ready.” Milly and Jill were in the car when Carol came down. Jill *had “The Paradine... ” in her lap, and Milly clutched “The March of De- mocracy” with a do-or-die expres- sion. Pat trailed out, dragging para- phernalia. “I love the way you all amble blithely out without even pulling the back door together. ...” Unpleasantness was behind them. Characteristically the Torrances chose to ignore it until September third, which was over three weeks away. Anything could happen in three weeks, even in Meredith. But when Carol and Pat were held ap on the second tee by a foursome he returned abruptly to the subject. *I'm going to miss you like the devil, Carol.” Nostalgia swept her suddenly and treacherously. Homesicknessg for the things she still had and next month would have no longer. “Don’t, Pat. If I keep on feeling like 1 do now, I'll never leave.” He patted her hand. “Sure you" will. It's the only thing to do. Don’t be fooled by this blessings-brighten- She addressed her ball chipped dead. “I know.” Pat tapped his own ball carelessly and rimmed the cup. “That leaves writing.” “Yes. (You stabbed at that, darn you!) If you decide to stay on in Meredith it’s your best chance. Do you want to stay here?” He shrugged. “Not much, but I will. I despise a city.” They reached the third tee and found a member of the foursome wandering aimlessly in the foot-high rough. “We'll have to go through,” Pat decided. “It'll be dark in another six or eight hours.” When they had driven Carol Picked up the discussion. “I think I do too, but I hate the almost in- decent intimacy of little towns. Hu- man curiosity’s just as bad in a city, but you don’t have the same oppor- tunity to gratify it.” “No.” Pat grinned acidly. “But you canedegenerate so painlessly and even pleasantly in a little town. Look at Sam Lovell,” he pointed out. “His mama left him her money and he hagn’t lifted a hand since, except to Dick up a bottle. He looks like a ripe hog, and he’s rotting so fast you can almost smell him, but he hasn't quite lost caste.” She shivered. Pat’s flair for de- scription was pretty devastating at times. “Well, nobody’s left you any money, thank heaven. Are you going to write, or aren't you? I can go in peace if you give me your word.” He stopped to play his second shot, carelessly, faultlessly. “I guess it'll be easier to write than to explain to you why I don’t.” “Is it a promise?” A long silence, Pat's word was never given lightly. “To the exclu: sion of everything else?” “Everything but selling cars, yes. You know I'm right.” Again the acid grin. “You usually are, damn it! Yes—I promise.” That was something. Carol felt that part of her job, at least, was done. ... Jill and Milly came down to watch them play the last hole; and they drove gaily home.
