MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1941 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN PAGE THREE ee RN ER INN CY IT Chaptef 31 Come Christmas ‘HIS is, I suppose, what you asked me here for?” Roger demanded of Hugh. “To make a fool of me! To make a silly ~ gt ae es oe startled to reply immediately. Roger turned to Lovely with: “And ict What kind of a woman are you any- way? You ask about everything under the sun but your own daughter!” He was on his feet. “Come on Emily, We're going!” They were on their way before Lovely found the broken choked voice to say, “I didn’t dare ask’ about her! I didn’t dare! I felt as if just speaking her name would kill me, I've wanted to see her so!” Hugh said, after they’d sipped their drinks for a space in silence: “Tm sorry, Lovely. I guess no- body can fix anyone else’s life. You've got to do some things for yourself.” Lovely looked at him intently as if a new thought was taking shape in her mind. “How much do you think he hates me, Hugh?” Lovely asked as en | said an early good night. “Only as muchas he loves you,” was Hugh’s sincere answer. In the living room of the big Cosgrave house that Saturday afternoon Emily found Roger blankly looking into the fire, a highball on the small table be- side him. “Have one?” he offered, rising as she entered. But Emily refused Se orink. Pe “Tye come tell you Roger, About two weeks ago Aunt Amalia'made' me a proposition to travel: with her this winter in Mexico. I turned it down because I wanted ;to flee: here, Well, I've told Amalia I'd go with her. I did it this morning. We sail Monday.” “You'll have ‘a great time turned quickly and walked out of the room and Roger had again that definite sense of amputation. Something was being cut out of his life and there was relief at the knowledge. Marcia came in while Roger was still sitting there thinking. He mixed her a drink while he told her. Marcia said, looking thoughtfully at the glass in her hand: “I’m glad Emily’s going. It'll be good for her. She’s never stopped Possessing you in her own mind.” Animal Cookies K New York, next morning Lovely opened her eyes to the day before Christmas and felt as if the walls of her room were closing in on her with ioneli- ness. An early knock on her door brought her face to face with Joe, standing big and awkward in his trucker’s uniform. “Joe!” Notes of gladness in her voice. “Look honey,” he said, “this: is for you from me.” He gave her a bunch..of mistletoe tied with red nm, and Lovely took it, misty eyed, and held it against r cheek. “And Ma made these,” Joe con- n turned to him in surprise. But animal cookies, Joe! "re for kids.” And then Joe was hurrying from her door to the elevator and calling over his shoulder: “Merry Christmas, baby!” Tt took Lovely some time to H dress because she was thinking deeply. And as she progressed, she knew she wanted to be most carefully gotten up. She’d boasted to Emily that she was getting her husband back. If you had any. stuff you made good on things like that. Besides there was. that. box of cookies with their funny little animal shapes and faces— currants for eyes and icing for the collat’on a‘dog and the harness on | a monkey, Just the sort of things Getta would love. And then after all the trouble Mrs. Hulse had gone to to make them it wouldn’t be fair—and you, did, have to fight for what you wanted. It was crisp and cold but there was a bright sun shining down on the city as Lovely stepped out into the street. The organist at the Grand Central Station was playing as Lovely walked through. ; The haunting, tender beauty of Holy Night hung over the hurry- ing crowd like a gentle benedic- tion. Lovely went directly to the train marked Poughkeepsie Local. Home ‘pe ride up the Hudson had never seemed so beautiful or so heart warning. Oscawana sta- tion seemed really beautiful in the clear winter light. The path toward the Cosgrave estate. was inviting, and when the playhouse appeared around a curve Lovely. wanted to hug it to her, like a person. She paused to look into. the playhouse window. There was the | vase she had mended after that scene with Joe and Mari. There was the tea set she and Roger had used so often. Everything was unchanged. She turned, and looked full into Roger’s face. “Lovely! Oh, my Lovely! You’ve come back!” It was as simple as that. No dramatics. No accusations. No quarrels, “Tve wanted to come so, Rog- er,” she said. “And I’ve waited for you. Wait- ed, Lovely.” As naturally as if they had done it only yesterday they started walking toward the big house. Lovely opened the box she carried. “Look!” she said. Roger smiled over the quaint animal cookies. “For Getta.” “She'll be tickled.” And then he looked at the mistle- toe pinned against her shoulder: “And this, honey bee,” he said, “we'll hang on the chandelier and put to proper use.” Almost at the door of the gracious old house Lovely stopped, and put her hand on Roger’s arm. “But isn’t there a thing you want to ask me, Roger? Explana- tions? How I’ve spent the time I've been away?” Roger was smiling gent “I believe in you, Lovely. I’ve always believed in you. All T need to know is that you've come back » me, come because you wanted 0. _ Marcia, with Getta eager be- side her, opened the door to them, THE END I iteppicing: On This Date Ten Years Ago As Taken From Files Of The Citizen ‘ slate orc Aiea Today was the coolest seen in this city in April in exactly 15 years, The minimum was 59 and not since the second year of the World War has the mercury) dropped that low here after Ma _ January, Feb- rua sof. this. year have been the, coldest and wettest on record: Joseph!
