THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance finds teaching school in Ashboro not nite bad as she had expected, ‘here is Mike Hannigan, for exam- ple, who is a handsome youth and devoted to her, And peretae the achool there are casual friends— plus a young and rather Hoily- wood-looking chap called Denis Ford. Carol and Dents began txeir acquaintance at a dance, They had fgne. up. and now are pla idl “idding ‘each other. Be- tween them there is already a bond, tenuous, put actual, Chapter 10 SURRENDER ‘HB mask of mockery slipped @ little, and Dents saw a corner of Carol's face behind it. “I think there’s too much—and not enough. I think we'd better let well enough alone. Skip it entirely.” “We'd better, but we won't.” He knew it was futile to pretend with her. There was no use kidding them- selves about what came afterwards. “Unless,” he experimented, “you're afraid to take the cash and let the credit go?” Her eyes were narrow. “How & man does love to pass the buck....” He frowned impatiently. “This 1s damn foolishness—all this footwork and sparring. Come on, Carol.” But she shook her head. “I'm & public servant, Denis. Caesar’s wife. We might sit on the terrace and talk Einstein, but it would add up to the same thing.” question: to put Denis Ford into words. “Well, he looks like a composite of Valentino and George Raft and all the other Big Menaces of Holly- wood. He even wears a mess jacket.” “I don’t see anything wrong 80 far,” Ellen said stoutly. “There isn’t. It’s just perfect.” “What does he do?” “When he does anything he’s & reporter. Just now he’s at leisure. And of course I suppose he writes.” “What makes you suppose that?” “Did you ever see & newspaper man that didn’t?” “I never saw but one,” Ellen ad- mitted, “and I don’t know whether he did or not. He didn’t say.” “I know. He did.” “You sound awfully vicious,” Ellen said shrewdly, “as if you were trying not to fall for him.” She laughed ruefully. “Not quite. It wouldn't get me anywhere at all.” “Oh, he won’t be out of a job in- definitely.” “No, but he will periodically, the rest of his life. He’s got the charm- ing aroma of instability about him. And,” she added resentfully, “he's probably clever as hell.” “Well,” Ellen reasoned, “as long as you're forewarned you might a8 well go ahead and enjoy him. Edu- cators have to have recreation just like anybody else.” \THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SPORTS BY . aie KEY WEST PLAYS TONIGHT IN MIAMI WILL MEET COCA-COLA NINE IN THEIR FIRST GAME OF TOURNAMENT By WILLIAM RUSSELL The annual Kast Coast district diamondball championship got un- der way last night with two twin bills played in Miami, Miami Stadium and the other at Flamingo Park.

The streets and sidewalks were clotted, crawling streams of humant- ty. Farmers in wagons and small cars, with provisions and children spilling over the edges of their vehi- cles, blocking the way for cars that Squawked profanely behind them. The farmers’ lives were adjusted to a different tempo, and they. heard the impatient squawkings with a superb indifference, Mill girls and women trod the sidewalis. The older women were stamped unmistakably by their gait and their faces; they moved delib- erately, pushing their heads and their stomachs before them, and their aces held neither happiness nor pain, hope nor despair, Nothing, Carol thought, but emptiness, Only the Negroes seemed alive, their dark faces slashed with wide, white grins, They alone were alive, and with so little reason. Carol said despairingly: “If fd known it would be this bad I think I'd have stayed at home.” Ellen laughed. “Every town in America must be this way on Satur day. Don’t pretend you never knew that.” “I don't. But this seems worse than Meredith, ptobably because we've only got three cotton mills.” “Well, it's very instructive. The correct remark just here is: “I love to watch crowds.’” She shivered. “I do. Or at least I think I do. Only it's pretty wear ing, like being pounded by waves. You feel all their poverty and misery breaking against you so vividly. “Probably more vividly than they do—poor devils, because you've got something else to compare it with.” Ellen turned into the drug store. “Come on, and I'll buy you an orangeade to cheer you up.” When the drinks appeared Ellen said cheerfully: “Tell me about this man you've got a date with tonight.” Carol sipped her drink and forced her mind to think | about .Ellen’s She laughed. “It depends on the recreation. I've got au idea that coping with Denis might be as ex- hausting as plowing, and not half as productive.” But she knew she was saying words, and that the words fell with a hollow sound on her own ears. She took the offensive defensively. “How're you doing with Mack Hudgins?” Mack Hudgins was a delightfully ingenuous youth who worked ip Ben's office, and Ellen had seen him twice in a week. She grinned, and held up two fingers pressed close together. “Just like that. He’s coming again tonight. He’s one of these uncom- Dlicated people, like I am.” “Lucky devils!” She said it hon- estly and without bitterness. To be uncomplicated enough to accept without resentment and without question a complicated world. She pushed her empty glass aside. “Let's go out and walk in the woods, where it’s clean. I want to get these smells out of my nose. ...” ENIS came with eight o'clock, because one didn’t call earlier than that, and because he couldn't wait longer than that. He hurled himself from a roadster that gleamed darkly under the street light and ran up Mrs. O’Connor’s un- adorned walk. From the shadows of the porch Carol's voice checked him. “Is there a fire?” “Oh.” She was a blur of white against the dingy cushions of & swing. He went over and sat down beside her, and his hurry folded its wings. “I just wanted to see if you were like | remembered you. A lot of drinks and a sudden enthusiasm can throw you pretty hard.” He could say that now, becaus¢ her voice in the dark had been enough to re-embody her. He leaned back and took her hand; felt it He quiet and tentative in his. She didn’t ask whether his enthusiasm had thrown him; she knew that the ad- mission implied a negative. He said casually: “Now begin at the begin- ning, Carol, and tell me how come.” (Copyright, 1986, by Marian Sims) ‘Tomorrow there is trouble with Sam Cates.
