MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1987. “lwo ‘ Company By MARGARET GUION The Characters Nina, @ nice girl with flaxen hair. Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, youthful mother, has brought homie a new husband. Richard, Nina’s stepfather, charming, poised, dark-haired, well-tailored and Honey's junior by 10. years, David, a young auto salesman, met Nina at a party he crashed. He. has copper hair and an en- gaging manner. Cordelia, Nina’s closest friend. Chapter Seven Chasing Button ORDELIA said: “We'll talk about my party at lunch, be- cause that ture, Bridget, will be hovering around for bits of gos- sip. But afterwards, you’ve got to ive me the real low-down on fioney and her new sizzle.” So over their melon and their stuffed eggs and broccoli, they had discussed the “Evening on Mont- martre.” Nina had told her more about the funny young man with the copper-colored hair, and what he had turned out to be; but later, upstairs in the library, they had gone straight for the business of the day. “Now then, Nina, tell me all about this Richard Challoner, the Man of the Hour.” : “I don’t know a thiag, Cordelia. Not a thingy, exeept that he’s not more than 85 or 6, and frightfully good-looking.” She described him, and was sur- prised to notice how well she re- membered every little thing about him: the way his sleek dark hair grew in points over his temples; the nice way he used his hands— lighting a cigarette — drinks; the way he carried himsel with an almost military stiffness’ ... turning from the waist. ... Her friend made a. significant whistling sound through her lips. “I should say you knew quite a lot about him,” she remarked. “Oh, but not the important things. When they began to com- pose the notice for the papers, I thought: ‘Here’s where little Nina gets some data,’.. . but you saw all there was. Born in England. Member of several good clubs in different cities. Served with the Seaforth Highlanders during the war. There he is in a nutshell.” “And a hard nut to crack, if you ask me... . Business?” “None that I know of.” “Um-m. What is known as ‘pri- vate means,’ I guess... . Married «before?” Nina shook her head. “I don’t think so... but I don’t really know, for sure.” Playing Dog Catcher 4 A’? now tell me about Honey. Are you happy about this?— for her, Nina?” “Well, I may be a bit premature, but I think I caught glimpses of an HERZOG if you can!” as plainly as though he had spoken. Nina advanced on him, but he stood perfectly still in a queer U- shape... his hind legs facing east, his front ones, west, where he had half-turned round. “Come here, Button!” Nina tried to sound stern, but she was laugh- ing. Button proceeded to crouch, with his rump high up in the air. His tail wigwagged gaily, and his long salmon-colored tongue stuck ae at her. ... Insolence personi- Every muscle in his body was taut for the leap away from her, but Button had forgotten one thing: his rope. Nine planted both her feet, firmly, on the end of it, and he was snared. Betty Halliday caught up with them. “Will you — kindly — tell — me what you think you are doing, Nina. Playing dog catcher?” Nina said: “Meet Button, Betty, Button, the beagle. There’s a oung man that goes with this jound, and I want to see him.” But no copper head appeared. Instead, what must surely have the smallest, blackest colored boy in the world, came dashing round the corner, with the -pecu- liar, loose-limbed agility of his Tace, “Lawsie, madam,” he panted. “I sure am appreciative. I sure do ex- a ma gratitude. I wouldn’a last to go home without that there dawg, madam!” Betty otis Gabe trying hard not to laugh at Nina’s boy friend. “Oh, I seé. You're taking him out for Mr. Day, are you?” asked Nina. She took an envelope out of her bag and scribbled a few words on it. “See that Button doesn’t lose this, will you?” and she fastened it through the buckle on his collar. She had written: “Call me up, won’t you, you bum?” and signed her name. David Is Terribly Busy ‘HEN David did call, he said that he was oh, so terribly, terribly busy, and that simply qua-drillions of things had come up... in fact, were likely to keep cropping up for days. “Now you're being mean,” Nina chided him, So he condescended to explain that he had been sent out west to the factory to attend a special week’s class in salesmanship; and was leaving again, on a trip, the next day. When he was nice, Nina was nice too, and told him about Honey’s marriage, and why she hadn't been able to see him. David said: “Oh, did I call you before?” But he didn’t fool her “And by the way, Nina, when you were out playing girl scout to But- ton, why didn’t you do another | a and buy him a decent sh? “I’m sorry, David, I'll send you one.” Humbly. “If you’ll give me. your address... .” Button’s brown eyes said: “Catch me if you can!” entirely different person day. More . .. more down to funda- mentals, if you get what I mean.” Cordelia was very understand- ing about things. a She said: “I think | know, dar- in, coming out of the Colony restau- rant, early in the afternoon, some- thing large and spotted dashed round the corner of 63rd street, * collided with her and very nearly g@@nocked her over. ©. The girl with whom she had been lunching, Betty Hailiday, steadied her, and then looked per- fectly dumbfounded as Nina cried: | “Button!” and dashed after the! hound puppy few days later, as Nina was! i y. and glanced der. A long ro it looked like part of a wash lin: dangled after him, rakishly his brown eyes sai? 2 ester) “I know. It’s a ruse. You're pur- suing me.” But he gave it to her, all the same. “"N' how about coming over for that cocktail when you get back? T want to see y He forgot his “Yes?” “You really couldn’t see me the other day, could you? I mean, you wouldn't have married off your mother just to be rid of me, would you?” “No, funny David. I couldn't me it. “Oke, again, darling. Forgive a poor man for breaking down.” They said goodby, and Nina felt ever so much better about him.
