MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1986. SYNOPSIS: rance boro she found it impossible not to worry about nds and her pupils. She thought she was escap- ing worry for @ while when she went to work for Blake Thornton in his advertising agency in At- lanta, but she wasn’t. For there ts something very attractive about Blake, and there ts something very strange between Blake and his older, selfish wife Irma. Blake is visiting Irma over the week-end in her mountain retreat. When Carol Tor- teaching school in Ash- Chapter 27 PARTY TRICK N Sunday morning Margery tele- O phoned. “Some of the crowd are coming by this afternoon,” she said. “Can’t you come too?” “I'd love to,” Carol said promptly. The idea of spending her first Sun- day alone had no charms. “When?” “About five. Harry'll come over and get you.” She demurred faintly at that, but Margery was firm. “He’s got to go out for lemons and White Rock any- how — this is very impromptu. Around five, then.” There was time, Carol decided, to try the Sherwood pool before lunch, so she put on her bathing suit and went down. The pool was noisy and churning with children who made up in energy what they lacked in num- bers, and the entire bank was fringed with motionless, prostrate forms, sunning themselves: forms that never moved except to turn at intervals and sun other portions of their anatomy. Most of them were women, and Carol reflected humorously that she had never seen such a motley col- lection of fat thighs. Some of them were as white as grubs, some were at the raw-meat stage, a few were & smooth golden brown. Hereafter, Carol resolved, she would take her swims at night, and let her own lovely tan go. She hated the sight of so many fat, soft peo- ple prostrate in worship before the sun. Harry was late, but that was to be expected; Harry was always late. He was two weeks late being born, he explained once, and he had never yet caught up. He burst in at half- past five, grinning and unapolo- getic. “Ready to go, sugar?” “For the last half hour.” “Well, nobody ever means it when they say a certain time; they mean some time after that.” She laughed. “' usually go on that theory, “ut since you're the host ) thought you might want me to be T ady.” “1 did, but 1 had a golf date and | got tied up.” He eyed her critically. “You look good enough to eat. Come on.” They stopped at a drug store for White Rock and lemons, and then drove madly home. Three of the guests had already arrived, and Harry pulled her into the living- room and made a flourishing gesture in her direction. “Carol Torrance—Betty and Jerry McElroy and His Nibs, the Honor- able Porter Murray.” He had shouted the names at the top of his voice, and Carol was about to speak when he added in a low tone: “Carol's terribly deaf, folks; you'll have to talk loud.” She turned on him to say: “Why, you dirty liar!” but he cut in swiftly. “Betty and Jerry McElroy and Porter Murray,” as if he were an- swering her. Margery giggled and screamed: “Hi! I'm so glad to see you. Don't you want to ‘rest your hat’?” 'HE ‘dea of deafness had possi- bilities, she decided, so she com- posed “er features with an effort. “No thanks. It’s perfectly com- fortable.” Porter Murray shouted. “It’s aw- fully becoming; | don’t blame you,” and turned to Harry. THE WORLD WITH A FENC A New Novel by Marian Sims “That's a damn shame,” he said in his natural voice, “She’d be a knockout if she wasn’t afflicted. How did it happen?” “Mastoid,” Harry explained brief- ly, and Carol exploded in a rather unconvincing cough. Porter Murray was solicitous. He wi patent-leather man of forty or so, and obviously a squire of dames. “Fix aer a drink, Harry.” he or dered at the top of his lungs, and Harry began opening liquor and White Rock. Carol subsided and smiled ravishingly at Porter Mur ray. Two more couples arrived, both strangers to Carol, and the game went on under Harry’s expert guid- ance. Porter exerted himself man- fully, with occasional asides that jeonvulsed her. % Ti ez ets > ee a “I could go for her in a big way if! she wasn’t deaf,” he confided to Margery, “but I’m already getting hoarse. Somebody else will have to | take over.” He launched into a par- j lor story about a small Negro in a{ racing stable. Carol looked puzzled. He repeated it at the top of his’ lungs, and she gave up the struggle | and laughed herself breathless. “I can’t keep it up, Harry,” she gasped. “Another thirty minutes of this and I will be deaf.” She smiled | apologetically at the bewildered Porter. j “It was one of Harry’s cute ideas,” | she explained. “I didn’t know he was going to do it until he got me in here. I'd forgotten how many bright | ideas he had.” | Porter Murray crimsoned slowly. | It had just dawned on him that she | had heard the asides as well as the rest of his remarks. She reassured him quickly. “Don’t worry; I call that real gal- | lantry. It’s a lot nicer to overhear a | compliment that to hear it.” The party grew in size and vol-; ume, and the talk was full of per- | squalities. She listened for an hour | with an expression of intent inter- | est, and felt that her face was con- gealing. H After a while the guests began to | drjft away, until at last no one re- mained but Carol and Porter. He,; said gaily: “Why don’t we all four go down town and get a sandwich?” Margery looked at Harry. “I ion’t | know whether Elvira''would stay | on. I only asked het € stay until the children were in bed.” “Wait a minute,” Porter ordered, and disappeared into the kitchen before they knew what he was do- ing. He came back immediately. “She says it’ all right,” he an- nounced. “Get your hats.” Margery said: “Porter, you ought n't...” and Carol reflected that a | generous heart must beat beneath | his perfect shirt front. Elvira prob- ably recognized but one form of argument. te SPOR THE KEY WEST CITIZEN.

I was hoping you'd invite me.” He sfayed until eleven, talking al- most constantly; skating blithely | over surfaces. Carol decided he was one of the eligibles that Cornelia had dismissed so contemptuously; a sort of cosmopolitan Ben Tyler. She let him talk to his heart’s con- tent. He got up finally, with flattering | reluctance, “How’s about dinner and a movie with me next Thursday?” “I think that would be grand.” | “So do L About half-past seven? Then we.can catch a nine o'clock show.” “Fine. I'll see you then. And it’s been a lovely evening.” She knew from the speculative look in his eyes that he was debating the possibility of kissing her good- | night, so she smiled with twinkling finality. “Goodnight.” He shrugged and grinned. “Good- night, darn you!” When he had gone she undressed slowly and almost happily.
