It must be satisfied that it has something on which to feed after which the wretched victim of his own jealousy never never never nev nev- er will be quite happy again Inasmuch as Dean Alices Alice's old lover is living and not too far distant distant distant dis dis- tant it is extremely likely that some hint of the old affair has reached John Even if it it hasn't at any moment it may In her place I would seize the next good opportunity opportunity opportunity to go dreamily into the whole stor story sad halt sympathetic half-sympathetic over the frustrated love of her year When John asks the crucial question answer it honestly Oh yes John It seems strange looking looking looking look look- ing back but we were very much in love If John Is smug as impeccable himself himsel-f as he sounds he will be deeply and dramatically pained He will grieve He will express his amazement that his own Alice should not have told him this be be- fore He will say that he must have time to digest this and perhaps to togo togo togo go sleep in the spare room Tables Reversed Ie If It I could reach John I would tell him the story of ot Peter and Paula Paula a handsome clever gypsy gypsy- ish sort of ot girl made this sort of ot revelation some 10 years ears after their marriage when their beautiful girls were 4 and 5 Peter went into the astounded husband act and decided d that they must part Paula wept went into banishment on a small hillside farm tarm She and the girls have made this farm so delightful a place that In Inevitably inevitably In in- among other enthusiastic weekend guests is Peter lonely homeless ashamed What the outcome outcome out out- come will wUl be those of ot us in the 52 2 cret know To fa the rest of ot the world all that is known is that lovely amusing Mrs Peter lives in the country and Peter gets there whenever whenever when when- ever he can When he comes back it will be Paula who makes the terms and they wont won't be too easy I U think it serves him right |
