DANGEROU y GRACE E The Characters Peter MaHone: Adventurous journatist. Tony Lance: British agent, the man Petrel loves. Yesterday: Tony tells Petrel he loves her. Now that her dream has come true, Petrel ts filled with misgivings. Chapter 27. “Thou Art My Woman” P= had taken her almost everywhere, thought Petrel. Tony would try pe t her. He ‘was strong, and sufficient, He did not need her, as Peter had once done. And what was this job of his? How much danger did he ruh? He seemed to her Perrerd alert. He had a way of glancing at stranzers, even if he was talking to you. His eyes sized thern up, sub- conseiously. Yes, she felt sure Tony Lance ran risks. She would have his love, but seldom his confidence. Was it going to be worth the strain? If Aunt Maisie were here, thought Petre]. She smiled. Aunt Maisie had had such a very fog! way of solving problems, She ha believed that the answer to prayet was guidance. She would have said, “If you love him, risk it.” Petronella knelt and prayed. She was ready when Ton! knocked on her door. She ha changed her dress. She was smil+ ing. Her eyes opened the door. He had brought her roses. As he gave them to her, his free arm en- circled her, and drew her to him. She raised her face and kissed him. How hard and lean he was. She loved him for his brusque, awk- ward tenderness. “Feeling better about me? Less angry?” She nodded. “Subject to about a hundred questions receiving satis- factory answers, I’m crazy about you, Mr. Lance!” But now that she ‘was with him again, with love thrilling throug’: her, the questions did not seem to matter very much. ‘What were your youth and love worth, gar Petronella, if you weren't willing to face life as it came, whatever it ——, you? “Wretched woman’ I love you without asking any questions at were shining.

They saw ees vary arrangements, The day’s events in Cairo provided plenty ‘of reason for meeting and compar- ing experiences. After a motnent’s hesitation, as she entered the din- ing-room and saw the long table faid for nine, Petronella was also content that it should be so. Tony should hog ae typical incident of her daily life, meet this re; a falive deaning of hers, and 's ds. Tt would be better for het if his vision of a peaceful, placid home life in ro ess faded a little.
