THURSDAY, FEBRUARY i NEW YEA 6,-1939 R’S EQVE by Angela Lorden Chapter 29 Visit to Claiborne "N R. FEIGEL wants you to call 4VE him on the Coast immediate- The message came to Noel next day from the New York offices: Feigel’s probably furious at me,. Noel thought as she followed the New York office’s suggestion and put in the call for Hollywood. And he was, as soon as he spoke with her. “Why didn’t you stay here, like I told you to?” he asked impa- tiently. “1 thought you'd forgotten about me,” Noe] explained half-hearted- ly. She didn’t say, “I couldn’t stand it—the waiting in Hollywood when everything was so uncertain.” “Come out—at once!” Feigel’s voice was arrogant. “Take the next plane here. We'll sign. the contract when you arrive.” “The test was satisfactory then?” Noel’s hopes rose. “Well, so-so,” came the non- committal comment. “But we'll be able to do things with you.” Then he added casually, “We’ve bought the screen rights to “Susan is Wait- ing.” Maybe we:can fix itso you'll as fai art you did on the stage.” “Td like that,” Noel told him, trying not to make her voice sound too elated. She was excited—play- ing Susan would be perfect for er. “The boys in New York will get busy right away,” Feigel went into plans immediately. “Do what;they tell you—they know their busi- ness.” “Their business,” as Noel dis- covered almost at once, was keep- ing her occupied for the next ten hours. Bill Smith of the publicity department was at her hotel an hour after her telephone conversa- tion with Feigel. He took her to a photugrapher, had dozens of poses made—the proofs were to be rushed through immediately. There was a meeting with eastern executives at the Ambassador. And a few special interviews with writers from the papers and fan Magazines. All the while Noel was thinking: They're funny people, this movie crowd. I haven't signed the con- tract yet. That didn’t seem very businesslike to her. Douglas would have had her name on the dotted line first. “What about your romance with David Norris?” one of the inter- viewers asked Noel. Noel’s face showed her resent- ment. Bill Smith interrupted quickly, “That was all imaginary, wasn’t it Miss Marchand?” He smiled knowingly at the reporter Feigel evidently changed his mind frequently. From “taking the first plane,” Noel found herself busy for several'days, at the whims —_ schemes of the New York of- ce. ‘We're leaving tomorrow,” Bi!!! Smith said casually one morning as though he were telling Noe! “You're having luncheon with an! interviewer.” . | ‘Tomorrow ...’ 'T was then, as sqon as Smith left. Noel called) Claiborne: She'd been wanting to do it ever since her return to New York She would say goodby to Mrs. Marchand— that’s what she ‘old herself. Only fate and the Criterion crowd knew when she'd be East again. “Noel!” Mrs. Marchand’s voice was affectionately berating her for the long absence. “We didn't know where reach you—why didn’t you let us know?” “I should have.” Noe! was peni- tent. After all, she had treated this good: friend shabbily. “I'm going out to Hollywood tomorrow.” she explained: “Ill be working there at the Criterion Studius.” She hesi- as she rode the long miles, out of New York. This visit would do her no good, she realized. She’d see Allan again. And she'd say an- other farewell! She’d done that, in her heart, long before this. Yet the thought of him waiting was pulling her with a power greater than -her own reasoning. Mrs. Marchand’s car was at the. station in Claiborne. Driving through the lovely green roads, Noel. remembered another trip to the old white house on the. hill. It had. been winter then, and Allan had ridden beside her. It seemed so long ago since that Christmas party. So -nuch had happened in the months that came after. Her whole world had changed—it had been another Noel ‘in the white-carpeted woods when Allan had kissed her for the: first , time. And she’d known, almost * then; that she loved! him, “Noel, my dear,” Mrs. Marchand was* eagerly welcoming her, “you're more lovely than ever.” She: looked at Noel keenly. She | was thinking: There's: something new in her eyes though. She’s not been happy. “It's good, just to see you. again, to be here with you.” Noel’s lips brushed against. the soft matured cheek. She knew Mrs. Marchand looked much older, there were new lines; under her eyes. “So you're going to be a great movie. star?” Mrs, smiled. “T wouldn't say that—you can’t count on anything in Hollywood. I. know that much.already.” Noel walked with Mrs. Mar- chand into the quiet house she had learned to love. Allan stood waiting in the cool shaded. living room. He limped for- ward with the aid of a cane. He had’ that same expression Noel had seem on that fateful day in the hos- pital—the day that had made Noel realize she wouldn't marry David. Noel! walked: over to him, held out her hand. A It sounded’ inane. She could scarcely speak as she watched him —her whole universe there before her—a world she couldn't have, so that nothing else had real: meaning for her. She meant to be enreful. She’d keep up the role of good friend, she'd promised! herself all the way on. the train. Yet when he stood before her, so close once again, her pulse started’ pounding. “Noel — you're here.” His hand. was holding hers tightly. “At last!” his eyes told’ her. She felt the ten- sion between them. For a moment she forgot the room, Mrs. Mar- chand—everything but that Allan was here, with her. He was thinner, Noe) saw as he let go her-hand. His fate was pale; the healthy tan had. disappeared. But his smile was the same, as en- dearing as ever and his voice—it would always be music tg Noel. “I've treated you both badly.” Noel flushed as she said it. “I've thought about you, Allan, hoped Sparring For Time ee were completely recovered.” e would have taken those words k if she could. “We understand,” Mrs, chand interrupted.’ “You've had your own problems.” Now it was the older woman who was embar- rassed. “Mother!” Allan admon- ished. “You saw those stories of me in the papers?” Noel thought she might as well get it over with, “I behaved. like a silly young girl. 1 was too excited at the time to use good judgment.” The atmosphere was strained: Mrs. Marzhand. was apologetic in ie manner. In desperation Noel said: ‘This is a lovely place in sum- mer. I've been, admining the coun- tryside as Lcameup. And | thought it was perfeet in winter!” Inad- vertently her glance strayed to tated, then added regretfully, “I'm iy won't have time to see you “Wait aj moment,” 'Mrs. Mar- chand interrupted. “Allan wants er ‘ou—” gio h to there, her heart beat- ely, the receiver trem- in her hand: Through the brief interval of silence at the other end, she waited breathlessly —longing toa hear his voice, yet dreading the conversation. “Hello, Noel,” Allan was speak- ing: “What's this I hear about your going to California?” ‘omorrow—" Noel replied. “T’ve got to see you before that.” Allan’s voice was. pleadingly in- sistent, “I'd come t down to New York, Noel—bu-. I’m not com- pletely over-the accident yet.” His voice was lower,, “I've missed you terribly, Noel.” Noel decided at once. “Perhaps 1 could run up to Claiborne—” Fooll her own common sense was telling her. Why punish yourself? “This afternoon?” : Noel agreed and after his “Good. by, dear.” she wouldn't let herself remember she had no right to go there. ; ee Without notifying Bill Smith she made inquiries ut trains to Claiborne: There was one in an Allan. Did-he remember. too? That afternoon. in the woods? “Why don’t terrace?” Mrs. ed: “Pll have Annie bring tea out there.” =: She: disappea: “Would youtke Tt was a po- lite question from: Allan. His eyes were saying other, more serious things. Or did Noel only imagine it She walked beside him slowly, trying not to notice how badly he limped. “Three. months more and | can | throw this thing away,” he said, tapping-his cane on th- floor. Then as.they sat in the big white chairs on the terrace, his head close Marchand | LLAN, you're looking well.” | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Secccrcccccccccecoeosesooe FOLLOWING THROUG. eccocccee eee TEAM I N B 0 A T | (EDITOR'S NOTE: Here's O.
