TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 19: Meet Mr, YESTERDAY: Cecily pays a visit to Locke’s cabin but finds no identification on any of his things. He possesses expensive suits, luggage, and black peart studs. Cecily tries to put him out of her mind by preparing for the Yacht Club dance. Chapter 29 Back Again “ AND what are we to do for men?” Tony. persisted. “Oh, there's Manuel and Arman- do, and they both do the Suzy-Q to erfection. Also, I've wired the Pehhy twins to pack their dinner jachets and come and rescue us. Or have you someone in mind, Tony.” “Can we conscript men?” Tony asked with that lazy voice of hérs. “Can't think of anybody worth conscripting around hefe unless... Jet me see, what have we in the way of bachelors? I have it. We've our leading banker, Donald Hem- ingway. He may be a bit rusty on the turns but he’s one of those oe silent men that I could go or. Cecily tried to kick her cousin under the table before she said more. Laura said, “Miss Watts, ['m afraid Donald is spoken for. He’s foing to the dance with me. But "Il give each of you a dance. He's very good.” Good for Laura! Cecily theught Tony said, “I saw something that looked good tp.me today, He came in on ‘the bus,'waved to a couple of people, which made me think he might belong around here.” “If be was attractive,” Gloria said, “he doesn’t! Nothing under| sixty visits here in the summer ex- cept as a house-guest. What was he like?” Tony stabbed an olive. “Oh, tall and rangy. Graceful, well turned- out. Nice lean look around his eyes. That's why I wanted to know what the feeling was about conscrip- tion.” “Maybe, he’s at the inn and we could look him up,” Olivia sug- gested. “He wouldn’t be hard to find there,” Gloria said. “I looked into that quite thor- oughly,” Tony added. “No one there of his description. Who lives out at some place called the North road?” Cecily deliberately chased an errant onion around the plate, speared it and held it suspended in the air unable to make any further movement. Could it be that Locke had come back? If he had, it would mean that all was well. It was an overpowering thought. Cecily found that she could finish her dinner, sustained by the faint hope that it was true. The committee sat in the chilly main hall of the Yacht Club and discussed the relative merits of a band from Portland with two drummers as against two saxo- Phonists of the band from Bangor. The saxophonists won and the committee took up the subject of decorations. Laura suggested noth- ing more than a profusion of greens, and the Club's flags. Laura went into detail as to the simplicity of the operation. A small boy, she pointed out, could gather branches enough to transform the whole Yacht Club into a sort of sylvan glade. With lights adroitl: gh and a great yellow bull ack of a circle of orange paper, a harvest moon could be simulated. Cecily nodded, clapped, seconded | o1 motions. She heard herself sayin; that she thought ice-cream and cake too banal and what did the committee think of serving lon, cool drinks, with a hot sou; salads at intermission? She heard herself, as though she were some- one else, saying, “... at this time of year when it is cool...” and so she went on. ‘There He Is’ b Spec gave a very nice perform- ad ance of ao nie ner at- ntion w: ixed on. what she was do} edlta-never have known it there was a sing-song in her eats which said over and over Sap “There couldn't be anyone joing down the North road. It would have to be Locke, and if Locke is back, it will mean that all is well.” The words began to take on_a meter. Philip gathered his “girls” — Tony, Laura, Cecily and Gloria— around him. Philip was at his best with all the girls. As they were leaving, somebody er “How formal is it going to The entire committee echoed, “Formal! No tails, but dinner ae kets or flannels for the men and all ladies in evening dress.” _ “My old yellow,” Cecily mur- ured. “My new turquoise,” Laura said with a light in her eyes. Donald had never seen her in evening clothes. “Mrs, Goodale in her ten dia- mond bracelets,” Gloria said sar- castically. “Give the women a chance to break out in their tinsel up here and they blossom like Christmas trees.

Cecily waved good night, said about lean the other com- mittee members at the dance, did all the mechanical things and wished it were over. 39 Lochinvar felt infinitely weary and the pros- pect of sitting up in a drug-store eafing ice-cream seemed a waste recious energy. e clerk said, “What'll it be?” They pe handies over their sodas. Gloria tried a trick, buildin, a structure of matches. Tony stare out the window. Suddenly she grabbed Gloria’s arm. “There heis!" she said. _ “Who? You nearly ruined my beautiful edifice, just when I had at least’a Hundred ‘matches... “The man that got off the bus! Look, over there by the gas station. The one in white flannels Isn’t he cute?” Cecily followed ut down her straw and ‘ony’s stare. She had to jar-in the ah regia window to the Tilliantly lighted gas station. And there, calmly leaning against the gas pump, looking as though he’d stepped out of a fash- ion page, his long legs in spot- less flannels, his broad, lean shoul- ders smoothly encased in rough, careless tweeds ‘was Mr. Lochin- var. under her breath. ‘You're In Love’ oped dustcloth flicked an- grily over her bookshelves. Her estures wére more energetic than thorough. Resolutely, she kept her eyes from the street. a few escaped wood chips and brushed them up. Then she stood poised in the middle of the room and swept it with her gaze. Laura said, “You might borrow ceiling. It’s the only point you've missed,” ecily found an ‘ash-tray that she had over-looked. She took it to the back and scrubbed it, polished consolately in a big chair. Laura said, “I don’t mean to probe, darling, but would you like to. tell me what brought this out- burst on? You’ve been cleaning around here. That’s a well-known feminine gesture for getting things off your mind.” “There isn’t anything on my mind,” Cecily said miserably. Laura shrugged her shoulders. “Then, let’s just call it ‘one of those days.’ It’s after six and I along now. Why don’t you run along? I’ll stay around for another half hour.” “It is after six?” Cecily asked. Then suddenly she dropped her head down on the arm of the chair and tears spilled over. Instantly Laura’s arms were around her; Laura’s voice made soothing sounds. The sobbing in- creased and wien Cecily had cried herself out, when her nose was aura bathe them with cold water. “T feel bet now,” she safd, making an effort to recapture her dignity. “I suppose you think I’m acting like a little idiot?” “Not at all, dear. Only I haven't the least idea what it’s all about. I'd like to help you if you'll let me.” Cecily tried to speak. She state of her jumbled mind. It wasn’t easy; Cecily had never known a confidante. It had always been part of her code to keep things to herself. But the code was part of her life before she had grown up. he about Locke,” she blurted mu “T thought so. You're in love with him,aren’t you, Cecily?” “T don’t know,” she replied, try= ing to be honest, “Perhaps you can tell me.” Laura shook her head slowly, “If ‘ou are, I won't have to tell you. jo you think he’s in love with you?” Cecily nodded negatively and two big tears spilled over again. “Of course he isn’tl 1 guess 1 was just silly to imagine that he felt anything for me.” it? Nothing has happened. “But it has! Don't you see, Laura? You don’t take this Brew- ster matter importantly, but I have tol: I.don’t know ing. about Locke. He hasn't even told me his name. Locke? What kind of.a name is that? And ... and I have some- thing to confess. When I heard he had gone off suddenly to Bangor— oh, you know what F was thinking —I was afraid that he was guilty. I went to his cabin.” “Cecily, you didn’t!" “I know it was a dreadful thing to do, Laura, but I simply had to know. And at his place I found something.” Laura’s eyes were round as sau- cers. “Guns?” Cecily had to laugh. “No, Laura, nothing like that.
