If I can’t have her I don’t want to touch another woman as Jong as I live!” The passionate intensity of his voice shattered the glass about her once and for all. She really looked at him—for the first time. His face was white and stark and his eyes He means it, she he’s really mad burnea hotly. thought dazedly; about her. ... She played her trump card—an ap- peal to his chivalry. He could be tender and generous; she remem- bered that from long ago. Surely he would be that now. | “Blake ... you think I’m imagin- ing my nervous condition. You think it’s because I don’t want to be a wife to you. That’s not true; it’s just that —for a while now—I'm going through a rather—trying time... .” His heart sank heavily. So he had been right in his guess. ... But he could not let her plead so thin an excuse. “A great many women manage to endure their husbands and make them happy even then.” “I know,” she said plaintively. “And so could I, probably. But I've jalways been so high-strung, and so I thought best to stay away.” He was moved to pity until he re- membered the years before this, and he realized that her appeal did not deserve to be heeded. He said slowly: “I'm very sorry—for your sake. But your excuse rather falls down, doesn’t it? We've been living this hit-or-miss existence for years. You can't justify six years with some- thing that’s just happened.” , She felt as if she were going mad —as if the walls were really closing in on her. She saw herself discarded for a girl: a middle-aged woman who ;would become merely an object of humorous pity. She made one more bitter attempt. “I understand, of course. You mar- ried me, knowing that I was older than you; that I was sure to lose my attraction before you lost yours. And now that it’s happened you're being a beast, and trying to cast me aside like an old shoe.” Fury almost blinded him, so that he dared not answer her for a mo- ment. At last he said with a credit- able attempt at quietness: “A boy twenty-two doesn’t think, Irma; the poor fool just feels. You must have seen that possibili better than I could. And since you’ve gone your way so completely there’s only one answer: I don’t matter to you any more than you do to me.” She said shrilly: “But you do mat- ter! I—couldn’t live without you!” His mouth twisted bitterly. “You've made a pretty good stab at it so far.” “But I’ve had to. I'll come home with you even if it kills me!” HE melodrama revolted him. The supreme sacrifice, she was no doubt thinking. He got up and walked to the door and back. “I’m sorry, but it’s too late now. 1 couldn't play up, Do we have to talk about it any more? I’m offering you a chance to get the divorce your- self, on the grounds of cruelty.” “Suppose | refuse?” “Then I'll have to get it myself, | on the same grounds.” “You can’t do it,” she almost screamed. “I can refute anything you try to say!” She made a supreme effort at control, and went on in an altered voice. “Blake, wait a year and see. You} got tired of me; how do you know you won't tire of her?” The room whirled dizzily with him. There was no use, of course, in trying to make her understand. “I'm sorry, but I’m through— whether you believe me or not. I'll never live with you again; I'm put- ting the house on the market as soon as I get back, and starting divorce proceedings immediately. If you! and neither is she.

They'll throw you out of court!” He shrugged. “All I can do is try.” He turned away, sick of the sor- didness and of her presence. He wanted never to see her again. “There's no use in prolonging this cheap wrangle. I’m taking the next train home, and the papers will be filed Wednesday.

She sould be—from now on—one of those homeless, undesired women who drift from place to place: wid- ows and divorcees who migrate with the seasons. Wherever she went whispers would echo in her ears. And if she left the South she would hardly escape it: the migratory birds covered the face of the earth. and spread their gossip like pollen on the that she was exaggerating her own importance; that what she did or cern to no one but herself. She thought wildly: I'll get back at him somehow for the way he’s treating me.

A porter rang and handed her a florist’s box; tea roses and deiphinium with a card that said only: “With my heart... .” Blake rang just as she finished ar- ranging the flowers and she almost Tan to meet him. He came in quickly and took both her hands and they. stood for a space looking hungrily at each other. Then he muttered, “Ob, Carol . ..” and took her in his arms, She braced herself. “Was it—very bad, Blake?” He winced. “You knew better than LI did. Carol—how do women get like that?” “I don’t know.” She laid her hand gainst his face and he caught it and kissed it. “They're blind from birth. I guess. You'd better—tell me about it” He told her, dully and accurately, because every word and gesture was burned upon his mind with acid. “I must have gone crazy at the end,” he confessed bitterly. “I threat- ened her and browbeat her as if I'd been a savage, I—understood how civilized men commit murder: ] could have strangled her—and laughed!” She said quietly: couldn’t. Not really.” “Yes I could have. I wanted to.” (Copyright, 1986, by Marian Sims) “No, you Carol makes a decision she will not rearet. jarrow. ‘the Russell Sage Foundation, born at Antrmi, N.
