They had cocktails at the Tyler’s, then drove to the coun- try club for dinner. Carol found herself remembering the September dance, and Denis. September was dim and unreal now. and Denis was a man she’d known once. She hadn’t heard from him in two months, and the rift had been so inevitable that its existence scarcely mattered. She had made the break herself, in January. “This has been too good to kill by inches, Denis.” she wrote. “So I'm not going to write again. | could make you a pfetty, tearful valedic- tory,.but it ‘was too good for that, too. Carry on, my darling. ...” The letter had evoked a swift, ve hement protest, because the prospect of farewell was an artificial stimu- lus to a fading affair. but she had kept her word. And Denis hadn’t written again because he knew she was right. Blake Thornton was saying: “You don’t live here, do you, Miss Tor- nis and came back to jo, Meredith. I’m teach- ing history and French in the high school.” She rather liked Blake Thornton, but he was hardly the type to “wan- gle” a job from: if he gave you a job it would be because he thought you could do it. He was thirty-three or four, she decided; thin and blond and not very tall, and there were deep lines on either side of his mouth. His eyes were as cold and gray as slate, and his speech was crisper than that of most Southern men. “I didn’t think I’d ever met you— or heard of you—and I've been here several times.” He smiled, and his eyes warmed a little. “Teaching must call for infinite tact.” “And patience. More of both than 1 possess, ‘I’m afraid. I’m clearing’ out after this year; I've tempted Providence long enough.” “That's rather a pity, isn’t it? After all, somebody has to pioneer.” She shook her head. “It takes sterner stuff than I'm made of. I've had one narrow escape already; next year | wouldn’t be so lucky.” His eyes questioned the nature of her escape, but she ignored the ques- tion. He said curiously: “And when you clear out, where do you go then?” The talk was following the path she would have chosen, but instinct warned her against hurrying it. “1 wish | knew. I’m stopping tn Atlanta on the way home, to talk to a friend in personnel work. She may have something to suggest, although 1 doubt it.” She changed the subject quickly, before he should think she was soliciting his help. “Tell me about Atlanta—how it’s making the grade. | haven't spent any time there in five years, and the place has rather grown beyond my recognition.” He frowned. “It’s beginning to breathe again — whether from re turning cghgcigusness or artificial respiration, alone knows.” “What do you think?” “1 think it’s a little of both.” She saw his eyes considering and weighing ler, au@ she looked calmly back at bifh.:[t was a relief to talk to an intelligent man and know that sexual attraction was outside the picture. There was nothing of that in Blake Thornton’s «uiet look and she was glad; she was still bruised and sore from her ercounters with Denis and Mike, and she wanted to forget that side of existence until her spirit healed. LICE cut into their talk from Blake Thornton's left. “Blake, darling. you've ignored me all evening. I'm getting violently Jealous.” Carol sighed with relief. After a round with Alice, she thought, [1 seem to him like Minerva herself! She turned to Ben, who was grin- ning inquiringly. * “Making any time?” “Not yet. I think it’s better strate- (gy not to try too hard.” He nodded emphatically. “He’s a ,eanny duck; his company is one of ing with Blake, but he helped Carol into the back seat as a matter of course, and Carol smiled in the dark- ness. When the car was moving he said casually: “Tell me some more about this job you're looking for.” She held her breath, and tried to sound equally casual. “I can’t, until I find it. [1 probably end up—if 1 land at all—selling hardware in a | basement.” They were silent for a time, and then Thornton said curiously: “Why Atlanta, Miss Torrance” and there was an overtone of weariness in his voice. The question jerked her back. Evi- dently his mind had been following the path of their talk, which was, perhaps, an encouraging sign. “I’m—not quite sure.” She laughed parenthetically. “1 wish you would ; not call we Miss Torrance. Nobody does, except pupils and faculty.” “Thanks; 1 won't.” She went back to his question: “Why not Atlanta? What would you suggest—Ashboro or Mereslith?” “Oh, no! But cities are so diaboli- cally feverish. When | retire (funny how we all cherish the illusion of being rich enough some day to re tire, isn’t it?) I’m going to live on a farm and raise chickens and vege- tables.” “Who wouldn’t?” She said it wist- fully. “But you’d have to own the farm. You wouldn’t go and hire your- self out as a farm hand.” They played indifferent bridge for over an hour, until Tom said: “Oh, heck, let’s play black jack. | Ten cent limit.” The black jack game broke up at midnight, and Ben and Blake Thorn- ton drove Carol and Janet home. At Mrs. O’Connor’s Blake held out his hand. “Good luck, Carol.” He hesitated, | then added carelessly: “If you come to town, give mea ring. | might have an idea between now and then.” She gave him her hand. “Thanks 1 may do it. Ben, it was a grand par- ty. "Night, Janet. ...” AY, and a presage of real sum- mer. The final lap of school seemed interminable to Carol. Ex- aminations occupied the last week, and substituted grinding desk work for the uphill battle of injecting {| knowledge. The brighter students ; were exempt and thus the load was lightened, but reports filled in the crevices of leisure. Mr. Hudson spoke to Carol about returning, and the triumph in his eyes was for his own vindication as well as hers. “The Board have asked me to tell you, Miss Torrance, that they hope you'll re-apply.” She smiled at him. “I’m awfully glad—for your sake more than for my own. | hated having you tarred with the same brush.” “Oh, pshaw ...” he waved the trib- ute gallantly aside. “Then you will do it?” “I'm afraid not. We wouldn’t be as lucky next time, and there'd be sure to bea next time. I’ve got a posi- tive genius for opening my mouth and putting my foot in it.” He argued it with her, but in the end he had to give in. “I'm sorry. The hope of education is in young women like you.” “I'm sorry too. But I’m just selfish enough to have an eye on my own future.” Ellen too had declined to commit herself at present. “I’m not quite sure yet,” she confessed to Carol, “but I think I’ve got other plans for next year.” Carol smiled affectionately. “It wouldn’t take a Philo Vance to guess what they are, would it?” Ellen’s answering smile was glow- ing and self-conscious. “Maybe not. But | haven’t quite made up my mind. ...” Carol snorted disdainfully. “Oh, no? Well, the best of everything to you, darling, and I know you'll have at: What wouldn't I give, she thought desperately, for a destiny like that? Or for the temperament to fulfill it? Ellen would take Ashboro to her heart because it held Mack Hudgins. And the turbid, tumultuous river of existence would rush past, while El- len and her family lived serene and reasonably secure upon the higher bank. .
