If her rc3Pn.sibililies in con-n Quentin and Gwen and 1 the house were not sufficient to keep her occupied, then, she threatened, she would positively take on some work for the blind, or for the citys orphanage. But the blind and the orphanage had had no opportunity to experience her kindly charity. For from the Sunday night when she and Quentin had ended their thirty-hou- r honeymoon with a sleepy, slow trip to the city, and had found temporary quarters in a large hotel, there had seemed to be no moment in which Vic, to use her own words, had had time to sit down for five minutes to ask. herself whether or not she was happy, whether or not she was glad that she had married as she had. So the first year had flown, and at the end of it Vic had awakened Quentin in the early dawn of a spring morning, and had given him charge of her waiting suitcase and her somewhat silent, frightened self. There had been a hospital then; bright, clean rooms, fiat clean beds, everyone telling her that she was behaving splendidly, everyone sure of it except herself. And after a while the realness of all these things, and the city, and Gwen, and the big house and even Quentin had all disappeared into a hot, hurtful fog, and still later, ashamed and bewildered and apologetic, Vic had gratefully slipped away into nothing just nothing-j- ust blackness and oblivion and relief from the task that was too hard. Then there had been Kenty, and Vic had lain staring at him thoughtfully, thinking not of him but of her mother. My mother she was so beautiful and young; she must have been so frightened, and she went through all that for me! After the long struggle she had said to Quentin: I dont want another baby. This ones darling; I want him. But never another! But the unexpected ecstasy of having one child, after all, had made the possibility of having another seem nothing less than a miracle. Susanna Hardisty had swiftly followed her brother, and on Susans second birthday, the crowded Hardisty nursery had been enriched by the arrival of Bichard and Robert together. Even the mother of what she sometimes described as the Light Infantry had been temporarily left breathless and startled by this promptitude. Vic lived now in a world of small beds, small stamping footsteps, small shrill voices. Kenty and Sue, Dick and Bobs had filled her life to overflowing; she adored them even while she toiled herself into a daily state of exhaustion for their sakes. Quentin meanwhile was busily building up for himself the most important surgical practice in the city. They rarely went to dinner parties. Sometimes after their late dinner at home they would slip for some music, for downtown the last acts of a play or the final run of a good film. But almost always they were at home in the evening, Quentin glad to smoke his pipe, to go early to bed; Vic happi-iewhen she was within reach of any call from the nursery. Other women laughed at her, perhaps pitied her a little. She never pitied herself; she was supremely content. she told AVe like each other, him on a certain Sunday morning when they had been six years man and wife, and when an unusual lull in domestic and professional interruptions had by chance afforded them a lazy hour together. Victoria looked enviously at the comfortable peninsula homes they were passing, for by this time the to day had somehow rushed about one o'clock, and Quentin was driving her and the three older children down to Menlo Park. There was a skull fracture to be diagnosed at the s hospital, and after that the would go to lunch with the Gannetts. Mrs. Gannett, whose own doctor husband had summoned Quentin to this emergency case, had hospitably insisted upon the lunch. It neednt be until two o clock; she had beds upon which the small fry could take their naps; please, never please, please come; they saw the Hardisty any more! Vic They were at the hospital. on about walked children and the the grass while Quentin was Inside. Then he came down again, and Dr. s Gannett came down, and the were to follow the Gannett car. Their way wound up into the hills near Woodside; they were presently on being welcomed by Mrs. Gannett as a porch; everything went just such days Blways went, doctor talk, nursery talk, spring Sunday talk. Vic was alternately proud of her children and anxiously exasperated about them; a nurse walked them away with little Bctsej (unnett, st Har-disty- Har-disty- A year! Weve just had our second birthday celebration. Well, honestly, Mabel Gannett said, I think its dreadful! Going in for a perfectly enormous family these days! With Quentin as stunning as he is, and all the women mad about him Oh, that! Vicky said indifferently, as the other woman paused. And then, just before the Har distys went home at five, the odd thing happened. Victoria had led her troop upstairs for last wiping of small faces and buttoning of small coats; these operations well under way, she had gathered Susan under one arm, Susans brief legs dangling from her hip, and preceded the others downstairs, to reassure the waiting Quentin as to everybodys being just about ready.' There was a wide lower hall in the Gannetts house; a hall now filled with soft light, and empty except for Quentin; the cheerful voices of the hosts, saying farewells, could be heard through the open porch doorway. Victoria had reached the landing and was about to call to Quentin, obviously and patiently awaiting his family, when another person came into the halL She came from the direction of the dining rooms; a slender, graceful woman almost a girl, though the voice was a womans.

Quentin, the woman said clearly, but in a low tone, how can you be so horribly unkind to me? Victoria saw Quentin look down at her from his big height; saw the smile in his eyes. Am I horribly unkind to you? he asked mildly. Youre killing me! the woman answered passionately, with a little choke in her voice. Oh, I wouldnt say that, Josephine, Quentin said.
