FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1987. Dwo’s Ce The Characters Nina impulsively married David and is trying to forget her. inténse love for her stepfather. Richard, the charming, well- tailored stepfather, shamelessly talks of love to Nina. Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, youthful mother, is wild about Richard, her newly acquired hus- band, David, a bright young auto salesman, adores Nina and strives to make her happy on his small salary, Chapter 29 ‘Please Don’t Call’ . WELL. then, would you walk in the park for a while?

But she noticed that he le no promises, just the same. Nina had been dusting, but now she went over and sat down in one of the little spring-back walnut chairs. She thought and thought. Which Did She Want? AN hour later, she was still sit- ting there .. . the duster still in her hand. It began like this: Her sudden, impulsive marriage had been a ghastly mistake. Noth- ing had been changed by it. Rich- and their love for each other, was still there—only now she had Gragged David into the tangle, as well oney and David. There were two people to deceive... two peo-| \, ple to hurt, now... And where were they all head- ing? What did she—really—want? | « ; ous — go = with ag ravesty of marriage, her traves of loyalty to her mother? Could she? Or would they some day oe out; or, worse still, si it. that her suffering would have been for nothing? Or should she be brave, as Hes- ter had been? Face the world, ad- mit her love ... marry Richard, go. away with him, anything—but oParntch ht ... but, no, first ich was rij +» but, no, of all, which did she want? But Nina's answer to that ques- tion was all mixed up with what Richard wanted. And yet, surely, she knew, That first evening, the only time he had kissed her, he had said: “This is our hour . ..” and an hour must always end. He had meant it, too, then, she was sure. But on the @ stairs at' Harmony, he had said: ‘You don’t want this thing over between us any more than It «needn't be .. .” showing that he had changed his mind. He then, too, must have realized the power of this love of theirs that was holding them together ... in spite of other ties, or right or wrong, or—anything. When they had all been standing about in the upper hall, at Har- mony, the night of Hester's elope- ment... Richard had not joined in the general conversation, he had id with his might have ." as plain- ly as though he why spoken. It might have been. It might... be. But Nina shied away from the fpouant, as she had trained herself jo do. Instinctively, in these days since her marriage when Richard had been pursuing her—telephoning— begging her to meet him . in- gacvey she had been saying: ++ You know it’s Virtually: “I love you.

But shé must have Sounded un- usually, determined in their last conversation, because Richard did not call for several days. Nina saw her mother in the afternoons and made a sincere effort, to stay away from the 74th St. house in the eve- nings—because she did not want another encounter ‘with Richard that would be: fulb of: meaning looks, and hidden hand clasps, and a furtiveness that got them no- where. In this resolve she was abetted by David, who had no desire to see more of her stepfather than was absolutely necessary. He was fond | of Honey, liked to find her there when he came home, and took a fatherly attitude towards her, and | her fluttery fears for Nina’s hap- piness, that amused all three of them. Her remarks, that first night af- ter her return from the South, had been a key to her subsequent be- havior. “Are you nice, young man? ... Is he good to you, Nina?” ... She had gone right on in that vein, ever since. F eg told avid 7 a had of- fe: er daughter’s allow: ark that she thought he was and foolish not to ac- cept a ‘Help. a She had sat like a little, irate, china doll, on the blue day-bed and scolded him, but David had shaken his finger, and scolded right back at her. ; She was the foolish one to think he would allow it. She was the meany to try and dazzle her daugh- ter with dreams of wealth. ... It ended up in a laugh and a Yes, Honey and David got on beautifully ... but Richard and David .... that was something else. David ‘never said anything, but Nina knew how he felt. Worry Over Honey NE day, on 53rd St., Nina ran into a very tired. cross. Carrie Van Alstyne. “Thank heaven I met you, child,” said Horseface, taking her arm. “Now we can go round to Long- champs for a snort... I've had a wretched afternoon, getting a per- manent.” She was propelling Nina, briskly, along the street. “Now why do you suppose I’m silly enough to submit to all that tor- ture? Nothing could make me look decent, seyeey. Nina was tired, too, and wor- ried. Richard had not called her, and—aside from missing the sound of his voice—she wanted to get things cleared up between them: iter having revived her with two old-fashioneds, Horseface then proceeded to peat her all over again. “Have you noticed, Nina, that our mother has been behaving nee gf ms moan she didn’t feel wel oTae that attack she called Tppe right after she came back rom the South with me... was that grippe, Nina?” Nina looked her alarm. “Why, Aunt Carrie . .. I don’t know. I had no reason to think it was anything else. Oh, dear, now I'm worried.” “Well, she told me she had a cold, and stayed in bed a couple of times on our trip, when I couldn’t detect so much as a sniffle.” “Aunt Carrie, I’m going to call up Dr, Fellows this evening.” “Why don’t you, child? We should both feel better. Let me know what he says, will you?” But Nina’s talk with the doctor was not wholly reassuring. “Well, I'll tell you, Nina”—he had been their family physician for a great many years—“your moth- er isn’t actually sick . . . but I find Tag pretty exhausted, nervously.” h—you'we seen ber just late- ly?" Honey*hadn’t mentioned it. “Yes. Yesterday, as a matter of fact. Her‘trip'with Mrs. Van Al- styne, didn’t seem to do her as much good as I had hoped it would. Frankly, child, your mother has been living under a good deal of excitement the last few months... used up a lot of nervous energy, what with her new marriage ... and yours, Nina...
