Jamés: Petrel’s fiancé. Yesterday: James and Tamara discover they are in love. Mean- while Petrel is worried about a report of journalists shot down in Spain. _ Chapte> 36 . An Old Acquaintarce 'HEY don’t know who the jour- nalists are,” Petronella told James and Tamara. Martin hasn't heard from Peter for three days. He thinks Tony Lance somehow persuaded a pilot, a non-commis- sioned officer of the Government forces, who wanted to desért, to fly them across the front, so that they could join the advance of the tebels towards Madrid.” James spoke sharply. “You never told me Lance was in Ma- arid.” He could not undérstand the look in Peterl’s eyes aS she an- swered. “He is,” she stated. “They may have got through. They may have been shot down. Communi- cations are all cut. Tony was waiting for information for Fran- co. He may have received it, and Peter; who was longing to get out of Madrid, would certainly have tried to persuade him to take him along with him, {t wouldn’t have occurred to Tony to refuse.” Her smile was bitter. “Poor ‘Petrel — they are devils to make you suffer like this,” Ta- mara wailed pitifully. “Waiting, waiting for news—” Petre] put an arm round Ta- Mara’s shoulders for a moment then withdrew it again. She looke at James. “That is what I came to tell you both. I’m sorry, but I can’t etand it here any longer. I feel 1 must get away. Suspense—and in- action—they’re terrible compan- ions, James. You see, Martin may hear news any time, or one of the other papers may receive a message. I’ve got to be in town, telephoning often, till I know. Be- tween whiles, I can do a great deal —meet friends—keep busy. You understand? You don’t mind?” James and Tamara looked at one another. Tamara smiled. Even if this had not beypenes, she could not have stayed, Petro- nella told herself, as she packed her case. Ballfield was too quiet. This was the excuse she kept giv- ing herself, for her flight to town. But it was not the whole reason. She was not really afraid to wait, and pray, for Tony and Peter. She knew this. She could have borne to stand by, and watch Tamara and James. Even though it hurt her pride, to know herself un- loved. But she was obeying a stronger impulse, a sense of ur- gency, and danger. That w perhaps, which Aunt Maisie ha called “guidance,” and which she called instinct, or hunch, told her that unless she caught the next fast train to Victoria, something vitally important in her life woul have been neglected. It was impossible to expect James to understand such super- stition. It was unreasonable. He believed that she was behavin; like this on account of Tony, an Sex, brother.

With Clare Horton looking at her face, Petre? knew it was useless to pretend she was anything but miserable. “If you could wait a moment, I'd love to #alk to you,” she suggested. Claré agreed. “We'll have some tea together.” “Oh, yes. I feel if I don’t talk to someone—” she did not end her sentence. “Then we didn’t meet by chance, after all these years.” Even while she telephoned Mar- tin Rowdon, and heard that there was no more news, Petronella felt Clare’s calm, strong influence, Per- haps, if she could talk to : life would not seém so dead wron: If I had married him, 1 it she e chance, she T= minéd to tell her about Tony.
