PAGE FOUK THE WORLD WITH A FENC A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol realizes that although she has tried not to fall in love with her employer, Blake Thornton, that is exactly what she has done. And he with her. But Blake is married to a selfish wo- ‘man, yeare older than he, who will not dworce him, and there seems little that they ‘can do about the matter. Carol just has beén wak- gned carly in the morning by a telephone call from the husband of one of her college friends, obviously 4n distress. Chapter 34 DISASTER “THEY'VE just taken little Hal to the hospital to—be operated on. Mastoid....” The word reverberated in her sleep-clogged mind. Mastoid. She whispered, “Oh, Harry...” and was silent. “Marge—wanted to know if you'd come and sit with her while they— operate. I'll have to go back and stay with Dollie until the girl comes. It’s after five now. ...” “Of course 1 will! you?” “St. Martin’s. Would you take a taxi? I'll come back here as soon as I possibly can.” “Of course. But wouldn't you rather have me stay with Dollie so you can be with Margery?” “No, I'll stay at home.” She guessed that the blow had so stag- gered him that he wanted to be sure of Dollie. “T'll be there inside half an hour.” She hung up the receiver and snapped on a light, then called a taxi before she began to dress. The taxi was waiting when she came down ten minutes later. At St. Martin’s the switchboard girl said: “Third floor, sitting-room at the end of the corridor .. .” and she ran for the elevator. Margery was a small frozen fig- ure huddled into a lumpy couch. She whimpered: “Carol!” and began to cry. Carol sat down and took her in her arms. “Hold it! Don’t do that, darling.” She sat still, holding Mar- Where are gery tightly. “Have they—started yet?” mastoid, but the words had a con- fident, comforting sound. “TJAVE you had anything to eat?” Carol demanded. “Oh, no. I—it would make me sick.” “Not coffee. I'm going and see if I can’t rustle some.” She found a young nurse who said, Yes indeed; she would see that they had coffee right away. Minutes stumbled past. Coffee came, and inside and outside the hospital the world stretched and yawned and made noisy prepara- tions for another day. Sunlight stole between two walls and poured its Pale gold on the floor at their feet. * At intervals Margery asked from the loneliness of her anguish: “What time is it?” and her voice was small and unmodulated, like a child’s. “Twenty-five minutes of eight.” “He said it would take about two hours, probably.” She turned to stare at the doorway. “Harry ought to be here before long. I—wish I had my knitting; I was making him @ sweater to wear to kindergar- ten...” Harry came a few minutes later, looking gray and drawn, walking un- necessarily on tiptoe. He went to the couch and put his arms around Mar- gery, and Carol got up and stood at the window with her back to them. “Shall I clear out now?” she asked without turning. “Please don’t,” Harry said. “Un- less you think you really ought to. It he—stands it all right—I'll have to keep two appointments this morn- ing.” Business as usual. Because, Carol knew, he would need his commis- sions more than ever, to cope with all this. Well, having to carry on would perhaps be better than this. SOUND in the doorway brought them to their feet, white-faced and silent and questioning. Dr. How- ard stood there, dragging a white cap from his head. “So far so good,” he said, and his steady voice sounded loud and clashing in the hushed room. “He went through it better than we could have hoped for. We got it just in time... .” Margery whimpered with relief, and Harry’s arm tightened about her shoulders. “How soon will we know any- thing?” he asked hoarsely. “I can’t exactly tell. He won't be out of the ether for some time—may- be an hour.” He eyed them keen- ly. “Why don’t you go home and get a hot bath and some breakfast?” They stirred and sighed. Harry said: “I guess we will do that. Thanks, Doctor.” In the car Margery said: “Carol, can't you come on home and have breakfast with us?” She shook her head. “No. I'll get a bath and put my clothes on prop- erly, and have breakfast downstairs in the tea-room. Would you like for At nine she called Blake. “A few minutes ago.” The gztes were down, and Margery found mo- mentary relief in words. “He’s com- plained of earache for two days, and 1 took him to Dr. Howard yesterday. He said to watch it carefully and let him know at once ff the pain got worse. ... He waked up about half- past three, screaming, and when | called Dr. Howard he came right out, and we brought him here. .. .” Her voice faded. “Then you must have gotten hold of ft promptly, and that’s the main thing.” She wondered if that was true. She knew nothing of the ways of me to sit with you while Harry is away?” “Oh, if you would!” Margery whis- pered. “Mother will get here late this afternoon, but I'd be so glad to have you if the office can spare you.” “I'm sure it can.” She was immeasurably touched by the fact that Margery had turned to her. At nine she called Blake and told him,.as steadily as possible, what had happened. “I hope it’s all right?”. she concluded.
