} PAGE FOUR THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims Chapter 43 SOLACE s° CORNELIA knew. Did that mean, then, that everybody ‘knew? That she and Blake had been ‘ostriches with their heads in the Sand? She winced, and tried to push back the thought with the physical activity of making coffee and toast. She felt the weight of horror; knew that she could stay in this Faom all day and be mad by night. @ threw on her clothes with des- Derate haste and fled, locking the door behind her. But the horror came with her, through the locked door and into the gray coldness of the outside orid. She boarded an uptown car, abd felt its breath on her cheek. She almost expected the conductor to fay “Two?” as she held out the Money for her fare. She bought a dress, wondering all the while if she could ever wear it, and lost the black shadow for a time in the crush of eage: struggling wo- men who hunted after-Christmas bargains. She ordered lunch and made a pre- tense of eating it, then sought the sheltering darkness of a theatre, to sit staring blindly at shadows that moved and spoke and pretended to happened. How do you know that it won't open a lot of other people’s eyes?” Cornelia smiled. “You don’t give me credit for being smarter than the mob, do you?” “Oh, yes 1 do! But ferreting out this sort of thing hasn’t got much to do with intelligence. Usually it’s the other way around.” “True. But I've seen two or three people today, and I know none of dict is: ‘She never has been quite normal, anyway.’” The mention of Irma shattered Carol’s composure, so that she shiv- ered and turned her face away. “Cornie, hi don’t believe. I can stand it. “Yes, you can,” Cornelia said firm- ly. “You can stand it and eventual- ly forget it.” “Forget that—you've killed some- body?” “Oh, my God!” Cornelia said hot- ly. “I expected something better than that from you. You didn’t kill her; it was her own rotten coward- ice and spite that did it.” “No it wasn’t. She wouldn’t have done anything so desperate if she hadn’t loved him terribly.” \ “Oh, no?” Cornelia said scorn- fully. “She’d have done it just as quickly if she’d hated him. She “You didn’t kill her!” suffer Adrian. She made herself see the film through, then she boarded a car and got off at the market nearest the Sherwood. Cornelia. being invited to dinner, would expect to eat. Lamb chops and artichokes, Gruyére cheese and lettuce; these things at least were real and permanent. Cornelia came soon after six, straight from work, she said, and looking straight from Park Avenue instead. She took off her hat and coat and went to the kitchen, where she began expertly to fashion a salad. She talked lightly and steadily un- til the meal was done, and Carol fol- lowed her lead as best she could. If they were to eatt :y must keep the shadow at bay as long as possible. But after dinner Carol made the plunge herself, breaking through Cornelia’s laughing account of an enruly customer. “Cortie, why did you come here tonight?” Cornelia inhaled her cigaret slow- ly. “You know, or you cor ask that question.” “Yes. The shock was in reaiivind that you knew,.too. And that if you knew, there must be a lot of others sho did.” beautifully in gowns by O. That was what I came to tell you. I don’t know how, I guessed, except that I realized what would probably have happened to me in the same position.” She smiled faintly. “I don’t believe I could work with a man like Blake and not fall in love with him, and I didn’t believe he could work with a girl like you and not do the same thing. I wasn’t sure, of course, but when this happened I couldn't think of any other reason.” Carol started to speak, but Cor- nelia broke in quickly. “What I wanted to tell you was that nobody has suspected a thing; so far as I kwow, there hasn’t been a breath that linked your name with his. And # there had been, I believe I would have heard it, because—” she gri- maced—“I seem to hear things whether they interest me or not.” “But—you weren’t sure until this Collects Used Cigarettes As His Only Occupation! (iy Associated Press) DECATUR, Ill, Oct. Claude Bever, 44-year-old wan-; derer, went to jail quietly “f: vestigation,” but’ insisted his “‘val- uable” collection of cigar and cigarette butts be guarded dili-| gently by police. He said his only occupation was collecting the “snipes”—con- tained in two ten-pound sacks— wasn’t capable of love: you know that. Hate can make you just as des- perate as love: hate and jealousy.” “Well, in either case we drove her to it.” Cornelia said more quietly: “Do you mind telling me what did hap- pen? I can judge better if you do.” HE told her, dully, of Blake’s trip to Florida and of his filing the suit. But not of the ironic night of his return: nobody, she prayed, would ever know about that. When she had finished Cornelia nodded vigorously. “If there's anything shameful or dishonest about all that, I can’t see it, Good Lord, Carol, people get di- vorces every day! It doesn’t cause a ripple.” “Not divorce, no. But—suicide—is another story. Don’t you see,” she cried out, “that it’s not whether peo- | ple guess it or not? That it’s some- | thing that would be there—between us—if we lived a thousand years? He feels exactly as 1 do about it.” “How do you know he does?” Cor- them has guessed.
