This Eternal Anxiety EREK ambled through the house, wonder- ing how he could make amends to Jan. It had, he sighed, seemed a good plan at the time of execu- tion. In fairness he tried to put himself in her place. What if she had invited a lot of strangers into the house and played his original compositions for them on the Piano, then offered to sell them cheap. He would have felt like choking her! All of this present life was so new and so strange to him. This anxiety over bills and his hoarding and counting and distributing of pen- | nies. He had never in all his life} known need of money.

I hear yachts and diamonds and millions aren’t hard to take!” “Foolish boy,” she chided, and drew his mouth down to hers, while the man in the shadows watched the blending of silhou- ettes against a background of star-studded sky flushed red by Neon. Violence rose up in him, chok- ing him. He would have liked to toss both Lenore and Ronnie Hartlett over the parapet and watch their bodies hurtle to the pavement fifty stories below. But he waited until] his guests had gone before dealing with Le re.
