WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, Peter Mallone: Adventurous gournalist. Petronelia: His young sister. ? James: Their childhood friend. Yesterday: Petronelia finds comfort in James’ love. Hi Chapter 74 — ‘It’s In Your fland’ 'HE announcement of the en- gagement did not appear in the Times and News wat three months iater, in the spring of 1936. There was no hurry, Petronella had said. James agreed with her. Both felt that since they desired their partnership to be permanent, At must be given a trial. Fetronella ‘might believe that she could be ‘happy in England, but find the test of quiet days too wearing. More- Over, at first, she had a strong feel- g that events would prevent her marriage. But this feeling gradu- wally faded. By the end of the three gnonths, she thought she must have nm wrong. Spring came to Sussex. High VEs winds, and cold, were succeed ‘by soft days of light clouds and bright sunshine. The wet hedges budded, vivid green. There were. Singing in the forest, a cuckoo calling, pale green silver birches, and masses of wild cherr: lossoms. There was'such ethereal, breathtaking loveliness and light- mess everywhere, that Petronella knew she was happy, and refused to doubt the cause. in their time arrived the first bee, the first but- terfly, gipsies on the road again. She felt lulled. peaceful, secure. This amusing, friendly comrade- ship with James promised to wear well. It could, ana usually did, in- clude a third person, without any feeling that it was an intrusion. She tried to imagine herself wel- coming Tamara, if she had been spending a day with Tony. She failed. But then she had been too much engrossed. ‘00 ecstatic, too fiercely happy, she told herself wisely. Obviously, loving her only in his casual, practical way, as of secondary consideration, he would soon have made her miserable. James, she realized. was still jeal- ous of Tony’s ghost. But as the spring ended, and summer came, his anxiety seemed to disappear. The enthusiasm with which she and Tamara hunted for old pieces of furniture. in the second-hand shops was surely enough to reas- sure any man that she was intend- to marry him, Until her own doubts sprung to Jife again. It was the fortune-tell- er’s fault. They went to the Derby. Wandering round the fair, before the racing started. Tamara dragged them to a big caravan, re- splendent with much polished brass, red plush, and artificial flo- Tal decoration. “We must all have our fortunes told,” she cried. She went first, dis- appearing gaily up the three steps, into the gaudy wagon. “You're not to listen!” In ten minutes she came dancing out again. “I’m not going to marry for two whole vears. and my business ability is going to cause me increasing financial em- barrassment.” “That doesn’t surprise me,” Jaughed James. “Your turn, next, Petrel.” The fortune-teller was a white- faced, bright-eved woman She exuded an odd. musty smell of past meals, cheap black satin, and a strong violet scent. She looked into Petronella’s face, auc glanced at her hand. “You've had great variety, and much travel. and seen dark days. You have an old fead on young shoulders Am | right?” Petronella admitted that pos- sibly she had put the case fairl accurately. She was half-amused. ¢-discomforted by this self- revelation from an unsavory stranger. Part of her mind desir to hide all her reaj foclings. to get outside, laughing. into fresh air, as soon as possible. But the other part was intensely cu ‘to hear what she had to say. ‘He Loves You Truly’ ‘HERE’S two gentlemen fais.
