THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1986. THE WORLD WITH A FENC A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: But for two mats, have run smoothly since Carol Torrance left her home town of Meredith to teach school in Ashboro, another Georgia town, One is Denis Ford, a newspaper man living with his parents be- tween jobs, and a dangerously at- tractive person. The other is the moronic Sam Cates, who precipi- tated what might have been a free for alt by throwing handful of irdshot at Carol’s desk in class. Bam has been expelled by the priv cipak 1 Chapter 12 MR. CATES ‘HAT evening Mrs. O'Connor called up the stairs: “There's somebody to see you, Miss “Tor- rance.” Carol put aside the French exer- cises she was correcting and went ‘down. “He's on the porch,” Mrs. O’Con- nor whispered. “He wouldn’t come in.” The porch light shone on a shabby, middle-aged little man with sad dark eyes and an enormous droop- ing moustache. The little man snatched at his hat and said, “Miss Torrance .. .” and stopped. She looked at him in surprise. He seemed familiar, but she couldn't have seen him before. She said, “Yes,” and motioned to a chair. “Won't you sit down?” | “I’m all right,” he said uncomfort- ably, and leaned against the porch railing. She sat in the swing and waited. He twisted the hat and looked at his feet. “I’m—Sam Cates’s father,” he said finally. \ Carol’s heart dropped, heavily. ‘The little man’s eyes had the voice- less appeal of a dog’s, and he bore ‘the scars of a heavy bludgeoning from life. She said: “Oh, Mr. Cates ... I’m desperately sorry...” and let her voice fall of its own weight. | “I... come to ask you to give him another chance. He—he’s awfully sorry, Miss Torrance. He says he'll apologize to you and the little girl « before the whole class. .. .” The tears on her eyelids were scalding and unmanageable. ! “It’s not—just today, Mr. Cates. If it had been I wouldn’t have asked to have him expelled. He doesn’t study, and he—cheats, I've caught him {time after time. ...” Mr. Cates didn’t seem to doubt or resent that. It only bore out what,he had learned to expect. But he made another attempt. Z |. “I—never had no education, Miss Torrance. I’m a carpenter, and the buildin’ trade’s been awful hard hit these last few years. Sometimes I’ve went six months without a sign of work. And I made up my mind to see that Sam got a education so’s he'd have a chance to be somethin’ better, but it don’t seem like he ap- preciated it till today. He never has done no good in school, much, but iow he wants another chance... .” | Loathing for Sam gave her cour- age. It’s the kindest way, she told herself harshly. You despise senti- \ mentalists: don’t be one. “Mr. Cates, if Sam had ever shown the least interest in school—in any one class—I’d say yes. But he hasn't: I checked his record to see. By keep- ing him there, at his age, you're making a loafer of him. The fairest ithing, to you and to him, is to take ‘him out and put him to work help- ing you, even if you can’t pay him a cent. He may make a fine carpenter, or a fine brick-mason, but he'll never hold down an office job.” | He digested that patiently, punish- ing the shabby hat. “You mean—you won't take him back.” “I can’t.” She burst out suddenly: “Oh, please, please see that I’m not Just being mean; that it’s the best thing for him.” * He nodded. “Yes’m, I see how you \feel about it. Well—thank you, ma’am, for bein’ so nice about it.” ‘ V "HEN Mr. Cates had gone she lay i on her face in the swing and cried, quietly, luxuriously, as if that might wash out the picture of him. | Denis’s voice penetrated her de- spair. “Why, Carol, sweetheart. ...” She sat up and blinked. “Oh, good gosh! What are you doing here?” | He came over and put his arms around her, produced an adequate handkerchief. “Liar. You said you had to correct papers tonight. I was just passing the house .. .” He laughed at the thinness of that, but the laugh was shaken. She sat for a minute with her face against his shoulder, loving him in spite of herself, grateful t6 him fér ignoring her refusal to see him.’ ." ! “TI was correcting papers when that little man came. ...” | “What little man, angel?” She told him about Mr. Cates, laughing unsteadily and a little bit terly at herself. “What a swell teacher I am!” she gave herself to an orgy of pity— for Mr. Cates and herself and Denis Finally he shook her, ungently. “Climb out of it now. We're going over to my house. I want you to meet my mother, and after that I’ll read you @ story that came back today and see if you can tell me why. The éditors sounded half convinced, } think.” “Then they were probably three fourths convinced. They don’t usual ly invite more grief, do they?” She was delighted to shift her thoughts | from her own woes to Denis’s. You could be very judicial and philosoph ical about other people’s troubles. “Search me. Magazine editors are an unknown breed to me.” His house was big and old and charming. There was no odor of de cay about it, she thought as they went up the walk; the house had! grown old with dignity and without | resentment. Mrs. Ford was reading in the liv: | ing-room. She looked amazingly! young and alert; younger even than | Milly. i “I'm so glad to see you,” she said, and her smile was very like Denis’s | “I’ve been after Denis to bring you; over ever since he first told me about you.” They talked for almost an hour, and Carol forgot her soreness. Mrs Ford explained Denis, she thought: her mind was as swift as his, and the sympathy between them was sur- prising jana rather lovely. ENIS stood up. “I’ve got a story I want Carol to read,” he ex- plained. “Is that stuff still in my room?” Mrs. Ford laughed. “Do you sup- Dose I’d touch a piece of scratch paper? Yes, darling; right where you left it.” She added casually: “Why / don’t you go in Harry’s den? It’s more comfortable.” Yes, Carol decided, Mrs. Ford and her son understood each other per- fectly. In his father’s study Denis closed the door and took her in his arms. “I have to do this first, then I can last till you read this thing.” He put her in a chair and adjusted the lamp. “Read it, and then I'll tell you what they say about it.” She disciplined her thoughts and took the manuscript; read it through in silence, Denis could write; she had discov- ered that in the beginning. His style was terse and acid and a little crude, but there were passages that took you by the throat. This one was in- credible and pathetic: the unadorned story of a mill girl who had died of tuberculosis and left several hun- dred dollars of insurance, which a destitute family had spent—gaudily ! and avidly—for a tremendous fu- neral. She laid the manuscript aside and stared thoughtfully before her, try- ing to define the flaw she knew existed. “It’s heart-breakingly good in spots,” she said slowly. “It makes me want to cry. But I think...1I think you've underscored .your pathos too heavily. The reader ought to be allowed to see it for him- eelf....” He looked almost sulky. “I don’t agree with you.” She stared sharply at him and then shrugged. “I’m sorry. I thought you wanted my opinion. Hereafter I'll say everything’s perfect and that the editors are a lot of mugs.” His face softened. “Oh, Lord, no! I didn’t mean to be an ass. Your hon- esty’s one of the best things about you, and if I don’t learn to profit by criticism I’m sunk.” She smiled at him, trying not to look as fatuous as she felt. “Rewrite it and send it out again.” “Maybe. When it’s cooled off.” “Now. It doesn’t need to cool off. Darn you, Denis, don’t you know about following through on your! swing?” He got up and came over to her. “I know I love you like the devil.” | liani; Pearson, Malone and Dickey.| count at this point of the fracas He sat on the arm of her chair and tilted her head back; let his lips! move softly over her face and throat. “If I had you I'd be President... .” | Pain stabbed her again. What is { there, she wondered desperately, that | makes a weakling so irresistible to ; women like me? To all women? I wish he'd get a job and go, even if he took my heart with him. I'd get it back, piece by piece. ... But ‘her arms were around his neck, and she was holding him against the very possibility.
