THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1939 NEW The Characters Noel Marchand, .o beautiful young actress. Allan Collings, the man she loves David Norris, her fiancé. Yesterday: David tells Noel he is jealous of Allan. Chapter 23 Beautiful Vagueness Nie angry argument with David was one emotional out- burst too many for her distrait nerves. She had told him defiant- ly: “I love Allan Collings!” And now she burst into hysteri- cal weeping. David for a moment seemed moved by her distress but his anger at her was not complete- ly abated. He, too, seemed driven by some force of resentment, stronger than his own reasoning, He had turned white at her signifi- cant words. “Noel, don’t be a fool! You're dramatizing a silly infatuavion. I don’t believe you!” Was he saying that to save his own pride, or to convince Noel? For he went on, in a more concilia- tory tone: “I understand you so well, my dear. His accident has appealed ‘9 your romantic imagination. And yaure unstrung by the unfortu- experience.” ®David ‘took Noel by the shoul- ders, not in an - ffectionate way, Ls as though he would: farce her iD the situation as he was pre- senting 1t. He looked at her long and searchingly, shook her body slightly. She tried to pull away His hands were gripping her tight- | yy ly “You're not the person who'd waste your affections on a man who. didn’t care about you! Have you forgotten he’s marrying Mrs. Schuyler?” That stung deep into Noel’s con- sciousness. She tore away from} his hold finally with a fierce re- sentful gesture. “You're trying to hurt me as much as you can, aren’t you?” she asked bitterly. At David’s next words, “Have ‘ou spared me, Noel?” she cringed. Her whole attitude changed. The tears stopped flowing. Her eyes YEAR’S LO by Angela Lorden wi “Were you in this room when J came back front the operation or did I imagine it?” Allan’s voice had a dreamy quality. “Yes, 1 was here, Allan. Don’t you remember, you spoke to me?” “Did you call me dear? And did you mean it, like that, Noel?” His clasp on her hand tightened. His fingers were pressing into her knuckles. She couldn't meet his eyes—they were asking so. many things. She tried to focus her glance on the bandage round his forehead. “Did you, Noel?” he asked again. “Yes,” the answer was a faint whisper. “Say it now,” he pleaded, forcing her eyes to meet his. . She tried to laugh it off. The of- fort was a failure. “Dear,” she said lightly. “Not like that.” Awkwardness passed. She bent her head toward him—she had to steel herself against touching his lips then: “Al- lan, my dear.” All her feeling for Allan went into the words. “Noel, dafling!” He said that again, too. He caught her hand to his face, kissed the palm, held it there against his lips. Noel was so thrilled she couldn’t think of anything except that Allan was calling her darling! “All the time I’ve been lying here, I thought about you, Noel. In the darkness I dreamed you were in the room and during the days 1 waited for you to come.” “TI came—you knew I would.” Her heart was bursting with hap- piness. It would only last for this heavenly moment—she couldn’t think further ahead. “You're so wonderful — I’ve known that a long time.” .Noel held her breath then. What did it mean? He was ‘in love with Elaine Schuyler. He was marrying Elaine! hy was he saying this to her now? Now, when it was too late! Perhaps it would have told her the meaning — but someone knocked on the door. Noel pulled her hand away, sat up straight in the chair. She tried to compose to still the wild beating of ‘T’m Dying Now’ |“QOYOME in.” Allan’s voice was | husk echo of his emotion. |. “Oh, my dear, I’m sorry! I didn’t know you had visitors.” Elaine in a soft blue suit with a gay little gray hat walked into the room. rested on his tortured face. He was suffering over her just as she did over Allan. Everything was a mess! Why had she mde that crazy, impetuous confession? “I'm sorry!”.She appeared to wilt as she said it. The rebellion was out of her. Her lips drooped in despair, “I'm terribly, terribly soi- ry. David. More than I can tell you But, at last you know the truth.” mi on't talk abo’ vas Dav f sion. He didn’t touch her, exce with his eyes that now, with th fury 2 out of them, seemed to caress her, “It’s been unfortunate, this whole quarrel—the first one we've ever had, Noel. I’m sorry too, that it happened. “Soon. we'll have forgotten all about it.” He hesitated before he es “When we're away from all AUS, After he’d gone, Noel realized he was still counting on their mar- riage—with all that she'd told him. How can he? she thought, wonder- ing. Asking herself if she would take Allan on similar terms, she was very much afraid that she would. If Noel had any embarrassment about seeing David again, he made it easy for her. No word about Allan, no mention of their argu- ment! “T'll be out of town for the week- end, my dear.” was all that he said Out Of Danger LLAN improved steadily. He was out of danger! It was joy- ous news for Noel. Since her quar- rel with David, in a penitential way, she had not gone out to West- bury. Her daily telephone calls to Mrs. Marchand kept her posted. “Dr. White say you can see him tomorrow if it’s convenient for you to come out here,” Mrs. Marchand suggested on Saturday. Convenient? Noel said she’d be there. Nothing would have <ept her away, though she knew there was no wisdom in such a decision Allan was thinner and looked so awfully weak when she was ad- mitted to his room. The swelling on his lips had gone down, the cut was healing. “Noel, I'm so glad you came.” His voice was weak and thin, too. Without moving his body, flat on the bed, he stretched out his hand, holding. hers firmly. All Noel could say was “Hello, Allan,” as she smiled down at him. She wanted to take his bandageu head and cradle it against her breast. She wanted to cry, too, gazing down at him. “Sit down, bring your chair to the bed.” He reached for her hand again, as she sat close to him. “You gave us quite a shock, for a while.” It'sounded inane as she said it. She was guarding her words carefully. “Mother told. me how good you were, Noel.” Each time he said her name, he gave it a warm, personal meaning. She loved hearing it from his lps. Tt was pretty bad for her. I'm —- T guess, from what they tell “And now you'll be better soon, ‘and out of the hospital.” Noel was managing a fo! ess.

I'll do penance for the rest of my life.” She turned then to Noel: “Td have died if anything hap- pened to Allan,” she said drama- tically. I'm dying now, Noel thought, watching you there with him. She moved toward the door. “Don’t go yet,” Allan said, his voice so urgent that even Elaine looked up in surprise. Her manner } was frosty. “If Miss Marchand has to leave, we musn’t detain her, Allan,” sue reminded him. _Noel came back to the bed. She didn’t offer to shake hands with the patient. “Goodby, Allan. I’m | 7 glad you're recovering so quick- y. “You'll come back tomorrow?” he asked, pleading with his eyes and his voice. | “Yes, PH come -back témorrow.” Noel looked at Elaine. “We must pamper the invalid,” she said smil- ingly and left them together. But the next day her flowers came instead, with a note: “Dear Allan, I wanted to visit you today but I’m detained in town with business I can’t postpone. I'll see you soon. Noel.” _ Those few moments with Allan in the hospia] room were a beauti- ful vagueness she clung to. “I’m giving it undue significance,” she said several times. But she couldn't forget his “Darling” to her. She’d remember it the rest of her life. Elaine had brought reality in with her—Noel couldn’t dismiss Elaine from her conjecturing. “I'm having costumes made for Rita,” Swanstrom told Noel when | she went to the theater. “She can’t | wear your type of clothes.” j® “Rita knows then she’s taking my place?” As Noel said it she realized that in a few weeks she'd be leaving the play—to marry David. “Do the others know, too?” “Not yet—I asked Rita to keep the secret for a while.” Noel knew that was too much to ask of Rita. So she said to Gerald during the second act intermission. ‘Tm Jeaving. the play in three weeks, Gerald.” “I should ‘say I’m sory to hear it—but we all know you're marry- ing Norris. He’s a swell guy, Noel T hope you'll be nape Noel’s eyes filled. “I hate the thought of leaving all this,” she offered weakly. Gerald accepted her explanation. “But -you'll have the real thing, Noel; this is only_make-believe.” (Copyright, 1988. Angela Lorden) Tomorrow: A tense moment. SLEPT IN CLOSET .
