, NOVEMBER 9, 1987, wo's Co By MARGARET GUION a ‘i any | The Characters Nina, a nice girl with flazen hair, has fallen in love with her stepfather. Richard, the 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 14 David’s Proposal ‘HE second horse—which was the dreaded Worthington crea- ture’s —fell also, but while its rider was thrown clear, Nina was pinned under the two animals in a tangle of reins, stirrups, and eight wildly kicking black hoofs. Twice, Gray Dawn struggled up a little, but could get no foot- hold on the hard, Hee surface of the road, and fell back again . . . knocking the breath clean out of her mistress’s body. Nina’s right leg was twisted behind her into an unbearable position and a weight like the rock of Gibraltar was rest- ing on her left. The sky overhead was segment- ed by what seemed, to her tor- eyes, a thousand waving legs; and over and above the grunting of the animals, a rushing sound was filling her head, like the overflowing of a mighty river. Gradually her legs ce: to ache, and the sky above b overcast by a great dark ui ... In a detached sort of way, she wondered if she were dying. “Hey! Careful there... You'll get kicked to death!” Through the whirring noises came Lilith’s voice, hi frantic. Dear, sweet Lilith, she’d turned back. And another voice: “What the hell ... are you just going to let her lie there?” And now Nina was quite sure she. was delirious, if not actually at death’s door. The voice she heard was David's. “You damn fool! They'll quiet in @ second... .” And David's taunting: “Oh, yeah? ... Coming, wise, Hold ev ig, darling.

You're not committing yourself to anything. I'm not to take it seriously; and we'll talk of this again later . . . but Oh, my God, Nina... if you only knew what that did to me!” He sank back onto his pile of coats with a sigh. In a minute he looked out over the side of the car with a sublime- ly innocent expression on his face, and told Lilith that it was all right. Nina had come to at last... . But | in the meanwhile Nina had done | some tall thinking about that kiss. | She remembered hoping, in New | York that night, that when he did | kiss her, it would do something | tremendous. ...

But it was Hester, Nina noticed, who saw that David met all the guests—there were about 14 in all; that each of them got food an drink; that the cold were warmed, and the wet dried.

All eyes were on Carl, spare and handsome in his hunting pink, standing with his back to the crackling logs, and going over the day's run, as though they had none of them taken any part in it. David was drinking in his sur- roun as though he were at the theater. Nina could see that he was fascinated and e little amused.
