You're looking won- derfully well, and very, very at- tractive,” he stood close to her, and spoke in a low voice, “T'm glad to see you safely home again, Tony. After you left Ran- goon,” she admitted simply. “I used to read your accounts in the News. China must have Leen ter- rible.” “Yes. It still is. What are you doing in London?” “Working!” she told him. This time she was able'to tell him about Peter. He smiled when she told him why she had refused to in- troduce them in Rangoon. “The News —my paper!” he mused. “I seem to have heard his name from Rowdon. He's not, by any chance, the fellow who——” “Donkeys?” “Yes?” “That was Peter!” They laughed, “Well, Rowdon regards him as hopeful. He told me so aimself.” “T'm terribly glad. He :eally said hopeful?” Tony reassured her. “Yes. Hopeful! Did you carry on running that canteen, Petrel?” “Till the trouble ended.” They talked about Burma, about wis new job. He was vague. “I think it is a stroke of luck. Rowdon calls it, ‘out of the frying-pan——’ But I think it should be extremely in- teresting.” So it was also danger- ous, thought Petronella. She asked him, because she had to know. “Who is that attractive girl in gray, that you were talking to, by the fireplace, when I came in?” He turned, surprised. “I don’t know. Jane somebody or other. That's her husband with her, now, I believe. I'd only just raat net They've been in Shang- jal. Even inthe rush of wonder and. relief which she felt, Petronella realized that although her happi- ness was reprieved, this time. she had learned something invaluable. In the future, she would know what kind of clothes to buy! “She looks charming.” They were silent for a moment. She was so much afraid that Fe would leave first, that she put on her gloves. “I must be going now. I have to catch a train from Victoria.” “T'll see you off. Have we time to walk through the park?” “Yes, There are plenty of trains.” He could not leave her, thought Petrel, desperately, vet he would not say anything that mattered. They walked side by side, through the evening sunshine. The things they were saying had nothing to do with their thoughts. They walked apart. Outside Victoria Station, he stopped, and bought her lilies of the valley from an old flower sell- a they were pale leafed, beauti- ul. He accompanied her on to the platform. He put her suitcase in the rack for her. “You'll forgive me, i. I don't wait till the train goes. I ought to be dining with soinebody fairly important, at this very moment.” “No, of course not. You must uy e but she did not believe im. Where There Is Trouble “I’M LEAVING England tomor- Tow,” he told her abruptly. “I may be abroad some time, again, so you see, Petrel——” Petronella saw, perfectly. He and Peter, both abroad. She and James, left in En- gland. She wondered if Tony even Guessed at the existence of James. Anyway, it did not matter. She held out her hand. While he held it hard, she asked in a small, odd voice. : “Where, then, if ever, Tony?” His reply was his explanation for this parting. “In London. Or anywhere there is trouble. So it must be London.” As she sat in her train, travel- ing fast towards Ballfield, Petron- ella felt her anger against him rise, then die again. He wasn’t fair to her. He had strengthened the bondage, then left her once more. Did he expect her to wait, faith- fully, for ever? Yet, she did not blame him. He could not help him- self. He had not said a single word to bind her. If she translated his thoughts for him, that was her fault. She was only nineteen. Though she felt so old. she was oung. This love concerned the appiness of her whole lifetime. Wasn’t it worth while waiting, and letting fate take its course, if nec- essary, for a few years longer? And James. Why couldn’t you love conveniently, sanely? She knew. is the last man on earth I would love, if I could choose.” Petronella tried, once more, to look into the opaqueness of her future. Suppose Peter succeeded in Germany? Her interests, through him, would be similar to Tony's own. Was that more than @ coincidence? She could only wait and see, she supposed. She must put her trust in that odd thing from which there was no escape. The night had seemed endless, but now, pnereasinigy every minute, it was morning. Birds were singing outside in the cold gray twilight. The scent of that garden, in which she would never work again, was | borne to her on a wave of chill air through her open window. She wishedsthe maid had not let the blind right down. She had meant | to ask Petrel to pull it up, half- | way, before she said good night to er. But she knew the view from this window so well, that she could! content herself with imagining it. The tree tops, which looked like brown ~ green waves of the sea, would be reddened. The distant ribbon of the wet road, out of Ballfield, would catch the light, shine like a silver river. Maisie | Mason wanted to see the dawn, , but not urgently. There was time yet Dr. Harris had suid:she might ive for months, even fora year. That was why she hadiforbidden him to tell Petrelsthesruth. It would sadden their dastidays to- gether, if the fiz! knew that she was watching her die. She would cease going out with her friends, singing about the house, sitting on the edge of her bed, chattering to her, laughing, as she read Peter’s | latest mad letter from Germany. All Petrel knew was that her “old internal trouble” had become acute. That the specialist in Har- ley Street had ordered rest, That an operation might be advisable, if she did not respond to treat- ment. Be ORDER that Fetrel should not . know, the blessing of Dr. Harris’ visits, with their subsequent lull of pain, came as rarely as Maisie could bear. Even then, she had seen Petre] looking at her, curi- ously. She had spoken quickly to disarm suspicion. _ “Our good doctor seems to drop in very often. A nice bill I shall have, for the luxury of being ill.” “He's such an Id friend, Auntie. He is concerned at your being in bed at all. He can’t get used to the one of anyone so energetic be- ing Sweet Petrel! She should go back to work as soon as Rowdon’s job materialized, Maisie deter- mined. She had given up the Tri- light Insurance Company, to be with her. It was no use, and sheer selfishness, to keep her indefinite- ly at home. But her spirit ached for her continued companionship. The days would seem very long, alone. But Petrel had her trou- bles, too, and staying here gave her too much time to think about them. This love affair—that young man, Lance, who put himself and his career first! How would it end? With James Randall? You could not tell. Patience was unnatural to youth. A little thing, an ulti- matum from James, for instance, might cause her to break her alle- giance to Tony Lance. And yet— “I never broke mine,” thought Maisie. At eight o'clock, the maid, Ger- trude, brought Maisie Mason her tea, her letters, and the morning paper. The letters were bills and notes of kindly inquiry from her friends. She smiled, grimly, It was mail day. She was dying, but Pat had not troubled to write by re- turn. That should be a warning to his daughter, not to lay her love at the feet of a man who did not want it. But, “I did not have a face and body like hers, and her way of moving, to help me,” she thought, Perhaps Tony Lance, im:his,casual modern way, did love;Petranella? Raising herself paipfullwon her pul, Maisie Mason: opened the aily News at the center:page. She saw the photograph of Peter in a cricket shirt, laughing up at her, Trembling, she read the cept right through before she called, towards the sound of running wa- ter in the bathroom. “Petrel! Petrel!” “Yes, Auntie—what is it?” She came, running in in her blue dress- ing-gown. Her hair was shiningly neat, she was rosy with sleep. “Peter is in the headlines of the News. He seems to have made a ape fool of himself. They've put him in prison——” “Prison! What for?” Petre! seized the paper and stared at it. “His photograph!” she breathed. “British journalist shot and im- prisoned in Berlin!” “They suspect him of spying. Hi attended a secret meeting he. bed. no business to attend, on some~,; body else’s ticket, and gave him-, self away eae German.” . “How awful! What will happen ‘othe disclaims. ‘ .
