MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1986. THE WORLD A New Novel by Marian Sims WITH A FENCE SYN OPS12S: Carol Torrance taught school at Ashboro a while, one reason she left to take a fod in Blake Thornton’ advertis- ing agency in Atlanta was that she wanted to forget that she loved Denis Ford. Now she is slowly drifting into love with Blake. and he with her—and neither can do anything about it. for Blake is mar~ ried to a selfish and empty woman much older than himself. Carol ts to be bridesmaid at Ellen Sands’ wedding; the festivities have be- gun, Chapter 33 WEDDING ‘LLEN’S house was alive: and seething, and the hub of its ac- tivity was Ellen herself. Ellen was again a dynamo; giving . orders, superintending every detail .'—even to cataloguing the gifts that poured in. Mack was there, blissful and bewildered, following on her heels like a big devoted puppy. His most important job, he confided to Carol with a grin, was saving excel- sior and string so that the presents could be shipped to Ashboro. “I never saw so much stuff,” he said in an awe-struck voice. “Looks to me like we'll more than make expenses.” Ben arrived Friday afternoon, fat and smiling and bald. He kissed Carol and Ellen resoundingly, and Carol noticed that he had already be- gun his pre-nuptial drinking. “Well, well,” he laughed, “it took a wedding to bring us all together again.” He was presented to the family, whom Carol had found disappoint- ing. Mrs. Sands was small and limp and rather lost in the confusion; Mr. Sands was tall and quiet. with a druggist’s pallor. Margaret, the younger sister, was like her mother, with a youthful freshness that still masked the resemblance. Ellen, Carol reflected, must have drawn upon some remote ancestor for her vitality and charm. The rehearsal Friday evening was bedlam. Ellen alone knew how things were to be done, and her training in gymnastic drill proved invaluable. The rehearsal lasted three hours, and Carol had to be the bride be- cause it would have been bad luck for Ellen to rehearse. Walking down the aisle to the throbbing strains of “Lohengrin” was a disturbing expe- rience, she discovered, so she looked at the small boy, or at Ben’s bald head, to distract her thoughts. Mack’s arm, linked in hers, was strong and steady, and Mack’s young face was illumined. | should not have come, she thought, match- ing her step to Mack’s; this is no place for a girl who has to keep her mind on her work. ... Even her dis- like for pageants could not entirely dispel the glamor or blind her to the implications of the occasion. There was a party after the re- hearsal, at which the rest of the men and three girls joined Ben in his cups. She wanted to step from the audience into the ring with them— but her first intimation of drunken- ness drove her, as always, back into , herself. The cake was cut, and remember- ing her promise to Freddie she put aside her slice to take home with her. Somebody yelled: “Hey, you've got to see if there’s anything in it!” And amid shouts of = excitement crumbled the cake and discovered a small brass ring. Ben shouted. “’S an omen. | knew fate was bringin’ us together again. Carol, you've got to marry me!” HE thing was over finally, and Carol slipped gladly into’ bed. One more day, she thought, and 1 can go back to Atlanta—and—the} Office. ... The ceremony went off without a misstep. Even the ring bearer was awed into obedience by the solem nity of the occasion. Several of the groomsmen were hilarious, but steady enough to walk’straight and keep their places in the tableau. Ellen said “1 do” in a clear voice and Mack, with his eyes on her face, said it in a voice that was not so clear. There was a reception at the Sands home afterwards, and finally there was the calm that follows a storm. Mrs. Sands collapsed into a chair and took off her shoes. “I hope when you get married, Margaret,” she said plaintively, “that you'll run away and do it.” Mr. Sands looked white and weary, Carol noticed with a throb of pity. * For all her complaining, Mrs. Sands had liked it: marrying off a daugh- ter was the proper thing, and she felt sorry for the women who had not yet achieved it. But Mr. Sands > looked desolate: Ellen was his fa- ; Vorite, and he knew that getting married was not the feat women seemed to thifk it. In Mr. Sands's opinion, men hadn’t a Chinaman’s chance to escape, They ate a late breakfast next morning in the midst of a Sabbath calm, and went in a body to church. Carol took the two o'clock train after declining Ben's offer to drive her to Atlanta. She had had enough of Ben for a while. Even the Terminal station wore a dress of Sunday calm. She raked it quickly with her eyes and knew that Blake had not met her. Her re- lief was overwhelming, and she breathed a prayer of thankfulness that she had not protested against something he had no intention of doing. i A hurrying figure said: “Carol!” and she stopped. Porter Murray was coming towards her. “1 nearly missed you,” he panted “Forgot to ask when you'd be back, so I called Blake on the chance that he knew. Gosh, I’m glad to see you, sweetheart!” She laughed unsteadily. Porter would no doubt fill her evening with his gay and facile presence, and to- morrow there would be work again. “Not half so glad as I am to see you!” She would never learn, now, whe- ther or not Blake had meant to meet her. INCYeMeER The days were short and bright, with the hard, clear brightness of glass. Irma, abetted by | Dr. Freeman, made her plans to leave for Florida immediately after Thanksgiving. She was keyed to the point of hysteria, by the implications of her condition rather than by the condition itself,.but she was still in- capable of confiding in Blake. The armor of his own indifference was pierced at times by bewilder-! ment. She acts, he thought, as it she was afraid 1 would assault her. He speculated several times on! the nature of her trouble—correct- | ly, had he but known it. But he put | aside the answer as improbable. | Irma had always revelled in her nervousness; it made her tremen- dously important to herself, and fed her ravenous ego. He made no further attempts to detain her, partly because he sensed that he was beyond any help irma might give him. She resented it ir- rationally; she had no intention of staying with him but her vanity de- manded that he plead for it. Their parting at the station was a travesty on marital affection; words and ges-; tures as meaningless as the lines of ; a fourth-rate actor. He said: “Be sure to wire me when you get there. I'll be anxious until 1 hear.” “1 will.” She was preoccupied with the dis- posal of her Juggage. Blake said mechanically: “1 hope this change is going to make you feel better. .. .” “Oh, 1 think it will.” The luggage was arranged now and she could give him her atten- tion. He kissed her automatically } and her flesh was not even alive be- neath his lips. Don’t think of the last time you were at the station, he told himself angrily. Don’t think of anything. i When he had gone Irma put her j hat carefully in its paper bag (the porter never did it properly) then lay back and closed her eyes, She felt raw and quivering, as if small pieces of her skin had been chipped away, leaving the nerve ends ex- posed. The nof€e of the racing train with its monotonous clackety-clack echoed and re-echoed in her brain. Relaxation came with the miles, paid out by the racing train like a fisherman’s line. The monotonous clacking became a lullaby, and her thoughts faced forward rather than back—towards the warmth and col- or and ease of Florida. Rose would be in Marston this winter, although not until after Christmas, and several! people whom she had known in other winters. She would be inviélate for four months, and beyond those four months she would not think. ee i; { i ' | | Somewhere, a long way off, a tele- phone was clamoring. Carol turned | uneasily and rose almost to the sur- face of consciousness. That can’t be the alarm clock, her mind protested ;, why doesn’t someone answer it? The clamor persisted, dragging her finally from the depths of sleep. It’s my phone, she realized dazedly, | and stumbled across the room to an- swer it. A hoarse voice said “Carol...” and stopped. The voice was unrecognizable. “Yes.” “This is Harry. 1 hate like the devil to disturb you at this hour, ” Harty’s voice snapped in two, and then with the jagged rem- nants he went on. » (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) Tomorrow, Carol puts in one of > the. most difficult days of her life.
