MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1986. THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS. Two men disturb Carol Torrance, who had intended taking her school teaching job in her stride. One is Denis Ford, who is a dangerously charming news- aper man with the wanderlust in 5H blood. She just has refused to marry Denis. who ts leaving Wed- nesday for a new job in Washin: ton. And Mike Hannigan, Carol's 8 most promising pupil and the hand~ somest boy she ever has seen, = 4 the toils of Annabel Monroe—ve: Young to be a predatory female, but just that, nevertheless. Chapter 15 TORTURED PARTING ENIS left Wednesday night. On Tuesday Anna Ford tele phoned. “Carol? I’m expecting you for dinner. tomorrow night. Then you can drive over to Erskine with Denis and Bill to catch the Wash- ington train. I'd suggest your taking Denis alone, but .t's thirty-five miles and you'd be pretty late get- tig back... .” One of the worst things about not marrving Denis, Carol thought, was losing Anna as a mother-in-law. She said quickly: “You're an angel; come.” ; “About six, then,” Anna said. “We'll bave to eat earlier than usual, 1 daresay Denis will consent to bringing you over.” In a town where eating was a nec- essary evil Anna Ford succeeded in imparting grace to her meals. She had dinner instead of supper at night, and wore soit, informal dresses, many of them shabby. There were cocktails tonight, to cre- ate at least a synthetic galety, and the talk was all of Washington. Their farewells were as casual a8 her own had been, little more than a month before. Mr. Ford said: “Well, Denis . . . remember to give us the lowdown .. .” and Anna kissed him and smiled, “Come back with your shield, dar- ling, or on it.” That was bravado; she had no illusions about Denis. The drive to Erskine was almost silent. Denis sat with his arm around Carol, holding her as tight as he could, and Bill kept his eyes on the road. When they drew up at the station Bill grinned at his brother and held out his hand. “Well, old man, so long. I’ve got to see a fella about a dog... .” They gripged hands without speaking, and Bill glanced at Carol. of course I'll “T'll be back when the train leaves. God bless you, my children.” UT when Bill had gone they still couldn’t talk, There was, as there had been on the first night, too much to say—ahd not enough: ‘They heard the train whistle finally with the relief of the condemned who prefer to have done with their ordeal. Denis said huskily: “Don't come with me. If you do I'll never get on the damned train.” She shook her head. “Don’t worry; I wouldn’t for anything. Denis .. .” Her voice failed. His mouth on hers was quick and hard, and she shut her eyes in order not to see his face. When she opened them he was walking down the plat- form. Bill appeared suddenly from no- where and started the car; drove the first few miles in a compassion- ate silence. “If you want to use my shoulder,” he said gruffly, “it’s at your dis posal.” She laughed a little. “Thanks, but 1 guess not. Denis told me once that | wasn’t the type.” “Boloney; they all are,” Bill safd firmly. He was twenty-three, and he knew. After that they talked, and she managed fairly well. Hadn’t she, once, wanted Denis to go and leave her in peace? Even the ache was shot through with the realization that she could begin now to try to forget him: to wonder what lay around the next corner. She was still young enough to speculate about corners. At Mrs. O'Connor’s door Bill sur prised her by patting her cheek. “You're a honey, Carol. Carry on.” He turned and ran down the steps. She climbed the stairs slowly, dragging off her hat as she went. Ellen’s door was closed, and she was glad when it didn’t open; she didn’t want sympathy just now. In her room a pile of history tests lay on a table and leered at her. She looked at her watch; nine o'clock, and early enough to deprive her of an excuse to postpone them. She drew a chair towards the light and began on the papers. A minute later she laughed aloud. Allen Lester had labored long and hard over the question about what held the British Empire together; Allen's mind had been unable to ;cope with an abstract concept of God, King and Country as a unify- ing force. He had replied, with sim- {Ple, unassailable logic: “The British Empire fs held to- gether by the English Channel....” | CHOOL closed for the holidays on the last Friday before Christ- mas. Friday was a total loss: the chil j dren were too excited to concen- trate on lessons, and the teachers were too excited to insist upon it. Mr. Hall succumbed to the prevail- ing demoralization and cut the last two periods in half, thereby pre- venting spontaneous combustion. Carol tried to ignore the hands of her watch, and to keep her thoughts in order. Tomorrow: Milly and Pat and Jill! The very thought made Jill... they went. her bags were packed and waiting. The time seemed longer now be cause it was empty. Mike came in hesitantly, stood over her. “Miss Torrance, I sure hope you and two weeks.” His voice was dull and lifeless, and the aura of anticipation that surrounded her broke like thin glass. She looked at him with still, intent eyes, and decided abruptly to cut straight through his reticence, “Mike. You told me in September that you were going to ask me to help you when you needed it.” His face seemed to break up, and she saw wretchedness behind its carved perfection. “I—I couldn’t, Miss Torrance. You'd ‘ve thought I was a fool.” “You might at least have given me a chance, I can’t quite see you being a fool. A lot of other things, maybe—good and bad—but not a fool. Do you want to tell me about It now? I've got plenty of time.” de looked at the floor and she held her breath. “I guess it wouldn't do any good— now.” The last word dropped heavily and ominously into the silence. “Now.” What in God’s name had Mike done? Surely not .. .? She find the answer, but they were opaque with unhappiness. “Mike, you'd better tell me, if it takes all afternoon.” She would priceless nights at home if it meant Mike's rescue. He shook his head slowly. “No’m. You want to get ready to leave.” She denied it with a swift gesture. “I might—talk to you when you get back.” “It may be too late then. I’ve got two hours.” But it was no use. Not in this bare class-room that anyone conld enter at any time. Mike felt that. She prodded him, “I'm—a girl myself, Mike. A lot older, but not enough older to forget how their minds work.” His voice was slow, and so thick with hate that it frightened her. “Your mind never did work — that way.” He pulled himself up, and for the second time since she had known him he held out his hand. “Goodby, Miss Torrance.” They gripped hands, and tt was Mike who first drew his away. She cried desperately: “Mike!” but he was walking out of the room. She locked her desk, and shook off the clutching hands of the room as she went, Ellen was just leaving the house when she reached home. “I was afraid I'd miss you,” Ellen said gaily. “Have a grand Christ- mas, Carol.” Carol kissed her, and made her self smile. “Thanks, darling. Have one yourself. Is it time for your bus already?” “Yes. Mack’s driving me down. He's coming over for the New Year’s dance, he says. Merry Christ- mas!” “Merry Christmas!” But not, Carol thought as she went up the stairs, until she cou’ forget about Mike. There was a letter from Denis on the table, and she took it up hus. grily, She folded the note and slipped it into her bag, to read on the train There was time for a luxurious bath: the other teachers, who taught in grammar school, had al ready gone, But as she slipped into the steam- ing tub she realized that there were | tears on her face. She laughed aloud, wryly. “What a handsome way to begin Christmas!” (Copyright, 1986, by Marian Sims) Carol learns, tor tomorrow, what happens te former lovers, Today’s Birthdays| Seeesseveaseroan Dr. George Sarton noted histor in Belgium, ars ago.
