WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1939 Meet Mr. Lochinvar ees By Marie Blizard YESTERDAY: Cecily is sent chead to-the Maine house, with the chauffeur, pekinese, and bag- gage. She finally faces the fact that she is a “poor relation” when her clothes are moved to a small room in the ell, : Chapter Six Errand Girl GATURDAY morning Cecily *? awoke in surroundings less plossins than those that had met er eyes the day before but the sky was as blue, the air as fragrant, and that was ail that Cecily’s buoy- ant young spirit needed. She washed, pouring the water from the pitcher into the basin decorated with morning glories, and sang while she splashed. She couldn’t ae to the beach this morning Olivia, Gloria and their guests were arriving be- fore lunch and Cecily had prom- ised to see that things ran smooth- ly, as Olivia had put it when Cecily was departing from New York. Seeing that they ran smoothly meant seeing that towels, soaps, powders and cigarettes, new books and magazines were in all the uest-rooms. It meant arranging or wood fires in the hearths and checking the kerosene lamps and candles which were uséd for light- ing. Mrs. Batson had immediately found cther duties for herself to perform when Cecily arrived. Her tasks completed, Cecily changed into a fresh frock and prepared werself for the arrival of Olivia's party. They arrived — Olivia and her secretary and accompanist, with two strange young men who lounged as though they had no bones, and a pallid girl whom Olivia called Daphne—at exactly one o'clock. Olivia kissed Cecily lightly on her cheek and said, “This is my niece, Cecily Stuart, everybody. Cecily, my dear, I suppose the telephone isn’ connected?” Cecily said she hadn’t been able to arrange that before the next Monday. Olivia looked as though a major tragedy had occurred. So did one cf the fluidlike young men. Then Glivia’s face brightened. “Don’t look so stricken, Charles,” she said to the stricken one. “Ce- cily drives beautifully, don’t you, dear?” Cecily said nothing. “You see we need Wilson to manage the trunks and poor deai Charles has ot to send a message to his bro- er. You won't mind driving to Machias” — Machias_ was inland and an eighteen-mile drive—“to telephone for him, will you? She’s awfully clever, Charles, and you can trust her.” Cecily said if her aunt wished her to drive she would. “I knew you would. Cecily, you're going to. be more of a com- fort to me than my own child.” Cecily had her doubi as she drove to Machias with a message in her purse—a message that had been written out and handed to her as if she had been a child. It was half-past one when she left—without any lunch, inciden- tally—and three o’clock when she She didn’t go back to the house directly. Her presence would hardly be missed, she felt, and she had to conquer the rebellion that was rising within her. She drove furi- cusly, but for oll that her foot —— the accelerator, it gave ner no release. Strangely enough, her anger didn’t seem to be fo- cused either on her aunt or on circumstances. It was at herself. her helplessness in a situation that left her dependent and without any solution. All her bright happ.ness, her sense of relief, was gone and the knot had returned to her breast. She thought of Doug and tried to find some comfort in thinking that. at least, he did not know that she was unhappy and that he was getting his chance which was a miracle that should sustain her. No Books Dp geese was a half-mile away from the village and during her brief stay at Vickersport, Cec- ily had not been down to the vil- lage. As she approached it on her return from Machias, she sz.w that there was an ice-cream and candy shop. She brought the car to a hs she got out of the car she found that her legs felt weak from the combination of hunger and anger. he bought an.ice-cream cone and two crullers which were sold at the shop. She took them back to the car and climbed in. While she ate them, her curious gaze ab- sorbed the slow panorama of the New England main street which was indeed quaint. She finished and wiped her fingers on her hand- kerchief. Then she got out of the car. She thought: I might as well enjoy my little sight-seeing tour. After all, I’m not a prisoner. She walked along idly with an appreciative eye to the cleanly, at- tractive presentation of Vickers- port’s business houses. The street might have been devised: for a Stage set, she thought, are the one-story bank, the old four- square house which was the town hall. She looked into the shop win- ment” store two stories high which she meant one day to investigate. It intrigued her with its window display which showed, with fine impartiality, a pair of rubber boots, a lady’s dress—vintage of 1925 — two rakes, a set of dishes. and a plenteous array of fishing tackle. She walked) on apace and came to a row of little white shops. There was a fine antique shop, a dress shop which showed a srpart end expensive knitted. suit in one window and a fine felt hat in the other. Next to that, there was 4 linen store, displaying delicate linens, blankets and good china. Cecily crossed the street and came to the public library. Cecily could never resist libraries; She went in. She spent.an hour there, vainly searching for something that she wanted to read. She was | surprised to find the library more old-fashioned than she had ex- pected. It contained’ no new books and few good ones. Mrs: Batson had told her there was a large and w: *Ithy summer colony at Vickersport, and Cecily wondered where the colonists got their reading matter. She knew that she would soon exhaust the reading material at Darelea and was disappointed not to find a bet- | ter source. There was another smart dress shop next to the library. It was one of two small shops in the low building. The: other was unoccu- pied. The dress shop attracted her, although she realized that she couldn't afford to spend any of her money. 'mpelled by an impulse she didn’t attempt to explain to herself, she went in. A sweet-faced, smartly-clad wo- man of fifty or so greeted her. | “Hello,” she said, “may I show you something?” Cecily rather regretted her im- | pulse when she realized that this was not as it always had been. She had no right to ask the woman to show her things, because she could not buy. She was embarrassed. “Thank you...I... wonder if you could tell me about the shop next door that is for rent?” The Solution ‘HERE it was! The idea that had been born in the library and nourished so suddenly by the sight of that unoccupied shop. It had all happened so quickly that Cecily had not been aware of it until she searched for something to cover up her smbarrassment. “Gladly,” was the answer. “Last year my daughter. Meg—my name is Jane Hollings—” Cecily said hers was Stuart—“ran an antique shop there but she was married this winter and she’s staying in New York this season. It’s an aw- fully gooc spot.” “Can you. ., can you make any monez ina...” Cecily was by then in an agony of embar- rassment. She hated asking a ques- | tion Mrs: Hollings must surely take to be personal. Mrs, Hollings didn’t. Cheerfully: she contributed: “Meg did beautifully. We all do after the holiday. Folks who come up for the summer usually have a lot of money to’spend and we get a lot of trade from the inn. Then, | too, expenses aren’t high up here and most everything, once stock is cleared, is sheer profit. What kind | of a shop are you thinking of?” “Books,” Cecily blurted out the | word. “A sort of circulating li- brary.” thing Vickersport needs. I’ve heard more people say how won> derful it would be if there was something like that. Why don’t you go see Mr. Calder? He’s the man who owns these buildings. He owns the lobster store, too, an you'll find him there.” anger and rebellion forgotten. “Do you know what the rental is?” “Shucks, it can’t be much more than Meg paid last year. She was aying twenty a month. You can p= ige of Me. Calder’s boys to fee it clean for you for about two dollars a month and, if you want a clerk, Mr. Calder has lots of daughters. I could give you a list of all the summer people when you get ready to send out your ~cards,”* “Postal - cards?” Cecily asked eagerly, getting into the very cur- rent of the stream. 3 “Yes, you want to write cards telling them when you open. Everything you do in Vickersport is.an_event. When -do you plan to open?” ’ Cecily said she didn’t know. She wasn’t sure that she was going to, she said. But from that moment she knew | that she was. The something that had to happen, had! She had found the solution. If Tony forgot to thank her for her tiresome trip to make his tele- phone call, Cecily didn’t even no- tice it. If, after dinner, they had all excluded her from their con- versation, the fact did not pene- trate her happy contemplation of her exciting plans. She escaped from their com; early and, sitting up in the bed with a wool dows. There was the inevitable mea “lobster store,” spotless and tempting.
