PAGE FOUR | LITTLE SPITFIREF By Jean YESTERDAY: To her horror Brenda learns that she is respon- sible for Adelaide's worry. As a result of Brenda’s scheme to jam the household machinery, Adelaide believes she is losing her mind. When Brenda erplains, Adelaide starts to recover, but Brenda is irreconciliable * Chapter 29 Heavy Heart B RENDA stumbled wearily across the hall to the library, guided by Mac’s hand at her el- bow. She was numb with misery and lack of sleep. She hardly knew how she happened to be in a big armchair with pillows be- hind her tired shoulders, and with Mac holding something in a small glass to her lips. “Drink this,” he said quietly, and docilely she swallowed it. “It's aromatic spirits of am- monia and will buck you up,” he went on. “Now, Brenda, let me do the talking for a few minutes. You just sit there and listen until Tm through. I know what Ade- laide told you this morning— what you told her. And I know u're planning to tell Eric and bel about it, too.” “How?” she whispered. “How did you know?” “A word or two from Stern, something that Adelaide let fall when I saw her just before din- Randall = She hard swallow, | wij at hi “Give me five minutes to pow- der my nose and get my hat and rt ee ten when they was when ot back, laden with queer, kee bundles.

Both greeted the shoppers with enthusi- asm, “This is something like!” Eric said in a whisper. “It’s high time we had a celebration.” The reaction from anxiety and sadness had set in. Even Brenda, though she knew the days to come, even the months to come, might be filled with remorse at what she still termed her med- dling, was almost light-headed with relief tonight. The others were frankly hilarious. Somehow it added to their fun to know they must keep their voices down; must be careful not to drop any- thing. When Eric caught an over- turned chair just before it reached the floor, it seemed ex- quisitely comic to them all, for some reason. _At midnight they trooped to the kitchen and foraged. Brenda made sandwiches of the remains of the roast. Isobel brewed a pot of cof- fee black enough to have fright- ened sleep away from’ Morpheus himself.

Now forget the whole thing!” In spite of her determination, her chin quivered, two crystal tears rolled down her cheeks. Mac made an involuntary movement toward her, then stopped, one hand gripping the back of his chair. “My dear,” he said in a big- brotherly tone, “you’re making too much of this. Your motive was good. You couldn’t know about Adelaide’s mother, or what effect your little plan would have on her, She was over-tired to be- = with; perhaps already ill at’s what made her put so much stress on a few silly things she couldn’t account for.” Brenda could not speak. She geoeee her handkerchief against er mouth, and sat there, her head slightly bowed, all of her forces bent upon regaining con- trol of herself. Mac went on steadily, “If you were to blame—I mean, if you think you took a little too much on yourself’—he smiled— “and it’s feminine nature to try a bit of matthmaking at all possible es, I suppose!—remember that you've paid for it over and over arate. ‘ou’ve nursed Adelaide lessly.

You're sure to make it out worse thvn it is. It was Brenda,” she ex- plained, “only not in the way she had planned. I mean having Jim talk to me didn’t do any good. He'd done it before—lots.
