Richard, tt charming, well- tailored stepfather, pays consid- erable attention to Nina. Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, youthful mother, is crazy about her new husband. David, a young auto salesman, has begun to adore Nina. Cordelia is Nina’s closest friend. Chapter 12 Hunting-Eve At Harmony s Neaeashs night in the Capitol, they were munching popcorn out of a rustley paper bag—much to the disgust of some haughty neigh- bors. e “Tf I can wangle a car,” he whis- pered, “would you drive down into the wilds of Long Island with me Sunday? Long Beach is fun in the winter, windy and deserted. We might find some joowelry in the sand.” 3 “Oh, dear,” she whispered back, “I wish I could, but I'm already dated to spend the weekend there ... not at Long Beach, but Long Island. 'm sorry. I’m hunting, Sat, urday. with the Jonestown Hunt.’ He managed to look properly crestfallen, even with his cheeks bulging with popcorn. “I’m deliv- ering a car down that way, on Sat+ urday. Maybe I'll run across you. all your glory .. . fact I'll cruise about looking for you. Will you ‘wave-to-a poor landiubber, Nina?” At her door, he said: “One of these days I’m going to kiss you, Nina. Pretty soon .. . one of these days.” She hoped that when he did, it would do something tremendous to her... but she was dreadfully afraid it wouldn't. “Is that a promise, David?” “T’m glad you didn’t call it a threat. Yes, my dear, you can count on me.” “Goodnight, then, and thank you for the loge seats.” He was looking at her with a look that was both hungry, de- vouring ... and awed and adoring. “Wha' - Er, oh, yes. Good- night, Ni Nice David. Richard and Honey, with their arms entwined, were just going up |T the stairs. “That red-headed chap again, eh, Nina? Now what kind of ajh swain is that, who doesn’t even make a move to kiss his girl good- night?” Honey looked up at him, wor- shipfully. “There was certainly nothing backward about your tactics, dar- ling, thank heaven!” me here, Nina. I'll finish that young man’s job for him. . .” and Honey stood back, laughing, as Richard kissed her daughter, slow- ly on the lips. Carl And Hester INA was to spend the weekend with the Semples, They had been friends of the family since long before Mr. Stafford’s death. She went down Friday afternoon 80 as to be able to hunt with Carl on Saturday. Carl lived and breathed horses. He thought like a horse—taking up one thing at a time; and he attributed a good many lucky escapes in his life to horse-sense. He was a big, bluff, hearty man of 40. or thereabout. All the rou- tine things were said about his be- ing a centaur .. . part of his horse, and all that. The fact was. he liked horses. It was pretty clear after you'd known him five minutes. Hester Semple . . . beautiful, dark Hester... well, she was very different. When Nina got off the train, a art young groom in a whip-cord ery raised two fingers to his cap. e cart from Harmony, miss,” Bre said, and led her to a hizh dox- art with huge yellow wheels. & . Carl had ears, three of them. but it was of the tradition at Har- mony that they were only used at @night. or in the rain. e 7 side of the entrance... Nina drank it all in. _ Aslender figure in rose appeared in the doorway. “Welcome back to Harmony, Nina,” said Hester Semple, quietly, as her guest alighted. “It’s been a good many weeks since we've had the pleasure of a visit from you.” Nina said, “It’s simply grand to be here, Hester,” but she thought: “What a formal, prepared, little speech!” And then she thought: “What a beauty!” { Hester's hair was as black,as a raven’s wing. She wore it parjed in the middle and drawn back over the tops of her ears to a heavy coil at the nape of her neck. Her eyes were gray, and quite tragic look- ing when you caught her off her guard. The rest of the time, the most you could say for them was that they were expressionless. They entered the square hall, which fulfilled the exterior prom- ise of spaciousness, Twin stairways curved upward toward the two wings. On a long, walnut table, a pet of early poinsettias bloomed rightly against the white panelled walls. Nina could remember back to before Carl’s marriage, when she had visited here with daddy, as a little girl. The long walnut table had been a tangle of crops, hats, gloves and muddied overcoats in those pre-Hester days. And there had been dogs about—all shapes and sizes; and pipes, and a pleasant smell of saddle soap and leather. All that was different now. Carl let Hester do anything she liked with the house, so long as he had his horses, Nina and daddy had al- nage thought that if Hester had had her way, the horses would have been dispensed with, along with the mess on the hall table. Her aversion to horses and all things pertaining to them amount- ‘They set off down the main road at a smart clip, and presently swerved off into a dirt lane. After a mile or so, they made a right turn and drove between high en- trance gates into an avenue of oaks and dogwood and natural under- growth. They were bare. and a lit- tle gloomy looking now, but from Es years, Nina knew their glory the springtime. Then, suddenly, they were in full view of the great, familiar Georgian house; the two-story en- trance porch, with its slender, fluted columns, and carved Corin- thian capitals; the lovely entrance door, with its fine palladian win- dows above; its two long, low wings with a glimpse of boxwood off to the left above the brick wall that enclosed the garden . . . the magnificent copper beeches and the two old holly trees on either! ed to a mania, almost. Nina won- dered how she could stand the at- mosphere .. . how she could have chosen to live in it, in the first, place. Sweet Music For The Maryland Wax Nina came into the great living-room, after she had bathed and changed into a sim- ple black dinner dress, Hester rose, punctiliously, and greeted her with a smile... a beautiful smile, re- vealing even, white teeth—but aoe as warming as a winter twi- i ‘ot so, Carl’s hearty welcome. “Well, by heaven, youngster. You're a sight for sore eyes! Sorry wasn’t here this afternoon, but Close Harmony strained a liga- ment and I was down seeing to er.’ A big, spare, handsome man— Carl, with a great shock of coarse, tawny hair, that was turning pre- maturely gray, and a healthy, rud- dy complexion. When he talked, he fairly boomed. People invariably stopped and listened, when he be- gan, “Te a fine re ee you ope row, youngster ... Gray Dawn, out ce Dawn Cloud. Shell carry you better than anything you found down at Warrenton this autumn. Remember how your fa- ther and old Dawn Cloud used to get along?” “Of course I do.” Nina was a horsewoman. In more affluent s the Staffords had kept saddle horses at the riding club in town; and Nina had-hunted with her fa- ther in Yorkshire, England—and in the south, Warrenton and the Harford country—and, of course, here, with Carl Semple. “I hear you're considering Sweet Music for the Maryland . . . that domi- neering animal!” Carl laughed. “Oh, he has his bad days, but who hasn’t?” “Well, you know how to handle him, if anyone does,” Nina admit- ted. “but Lord! Twenty-two fences with that chance-y jumper!” She shook her head. She had had occa- sion to watch Sweet Music when he was decidedly off pitch. “There's only one jump on the whole course that might bother him—the second. Remember it, Nina? A stiff post and rail under trees. ... Trees bother him.” Hester turned awayglg was im- possible to say that id paled, for there was nevet slightest vestige of color in ks. but a sort of numb look spread over her features, as it always did. at the hint of any accident. Nina changed the subject. ‘She didn’t want to mention Richard, or even think of him, but she hadn't seen the Semples alone since her mother’s marriage, and she knew it would seem unnatural if she didn’t speak of it. So... “Now then, you two, what do you think of my little Honey stepping out and getting herself married?” Carl boomed out his opinions for both of them, as usual. He thought alot, apparently, but chiefly that it was @ grand thing: and Richard, having shown a keen appreciation of horse flesh, was aces with him. (Copyright, 1987.

In the second game last night, the Sophomore B’s tangled with the Sophomore A’s. The B's showed their superior\ power in a rough and tumble fight during the first-half of the game. Jack Miller, lanky center for the B’s, scored from under the basket regularly to push his team in the lead. During the last quarter Miller was taken from the game because of fouls. This aid- ted the A’s to come from behind to win by a score of 19-17.
