After the last guest had left and the immediate family had retired. BasU and Kit stayed on in the deserted living room. Kit was tired with the evening's many responsibilities and she wished that Basil would take her home. Jennifer Martin had retired after kissing Kit affectionately on the forehead. Basil watched the old lady with a satisfied smile cn his smug face. "The old girl's sure got a case on you. Kit," he said, sitting down on the sofa and puling her down beside him. "I'm so glad, Baz. She seems so lonely." She was still wondering what Basil had to tell her that was so important. "I'm glad too. It makes things e lot easier. Oh, but definitely ! He laughed. Kit was disgusted with his beating around the bush. "What are you trying to say, Baz? Get it over with, for heaven's sake!" "0. K. it's this.

Love isn't something you can put on and off like an old coat It's always there inside you." He stopped, embarrassed that he had gone so far with his subject. "You really believe that don't you, Johnny?" She walked over to him. "Yes, Kit I do." He looked deep into her eyes. She was standing very near him, the shadows of the room about them. Kit reached up and touched his cheek with her hand. "Johnny," she whispered, "the girl that marries you will be the luckiest girl in the world." She kept looking at him. and then turned and left the room. Johnny stood staring after her for a moment and then followed her down the stairs. But when they reached the car she seemed in a light and gay mood, and Johnny knew she was shielding herself from her last remark. She suggested as they neared Lexington that they stop at the hospital and see little Jackie Murphy. Johnny told her that the child had been moved home a few days before. He hesitated to suggest they stop at the boy's home, not knowing whether she would want to face their poverty so closely. It was Kit that asked quickly why they couldn't go to his home. Johnny smiled to himself, feeling he should have known better than to doubt Kit. They found Jackie sitting up in bed in a dimly lit bedroom, almost as dark as the one they bad just left. His happy smile as he saw them, though, brightened the entire room. "Hello, Kit" he called when he saw her. Kit looked surprised when he called her by name. Johnny, following her into the room, looked embarrassed and she knew immediately the child's source of information. "I wondered if you would come to see me." His eyes were wide with happiness. "Johnny, I got the bomb er almost done. All but the wings you said you'd help me with." Mrs. Murphy stood near by and was beaming?almosfas much as Jackie. She looked happier than Johnny had ever seen her look, and the thought of Jerry coming to their room that night to warn them not to turn him in, came to him. It was just as well they had not Johnny decided now, looking at the child and Mrs. Murphy. "What's this, you're holding out on me, you two?" Kit asked.
