Will you have a breakfast tray? Orange juice and coffee. Gay disappeared into the bathroom. I wont have time for anything else. On the walls of the bathroom wild orchids grew lush among tropical trees. The alcove in which the tub was set was paneled with mirrors. Gay, splashing vigorously, made none of her customary mental observations upon the results achieved by the young interior decorator who was her mothers latest protegee. All of her attention was centered upon the fact, incredible but excitingly true, that John was arriving in New York on this the morning of Christmas Eve, for a holiday visit. she sang, rubbing Noel, Noel, herself with a soft warmed towel. For an instant the song recalled the Christmas Eve shed spent at school in Switzerland. Shed like to go into a Catholic church this evening, at twilight, a French Catholic would church, where candle-ligh- t shine on brightly painted figures In the manger scene and a choir-bo- y with the voice of an angel would sing the carol, running now, through her mind. That symbolized Christmas for her, had as far back as she could remember, before the school in Switzerland, since Mademoiselle Dupin, the governess of whom shed been fondest, had taken her, as a child, to her church on succeeding Christmas Eves. Back into the bedroom again. Mathilde had laid out her underthings. Noel, Noel Noel, Noel she sang dealing hurriedly with chiffon and silk. She stood before the row of hangers in the wardrobe. So the keynote is simplicity. How long ago that seemed! She selected a wool dress the silvdt gray of a kit- tens fur, the darker gray fur coat, the fur cap to match it which made her look like a Russian princess. As she sat at the dressing-tabl- e pinn curls in at the nape ning of her neck Mathilde came in with the tray. Would you like me to ring for Carl? she asked, placing the tray on a low table beside the windows looking out over the river. No, Ill use a taxi. She didnt want her first moments with John to be spent under the discreet but interested scrutiny of Carls lively blue eyes, behind Carls attentive whip-corback. The servants both here and at Dunedin were curious about John. No wonder, after what theyd heard and seen when she and Kate returned from Maine. Not that she cared, especially, but if it could be avoided Its eight oclock, Miss Gay, Mathilde, hovering, said. It is? Good Heavens! I must She slipped into the coat Mafly. thilde held, tilted the fur cap over one eye, caught up purse and gloves, paused for an instant to admire her reflection in the mirror and went hurrying out of the room.

I had no idea that when he came to your debutante party, you, he Kate told me you didnt expect him to be here when you came How long have you known him, Gay? Since I was fifteen. Since the summer I spent here with Uncle John. Then thats the answer. Ive known all along that you werent as certain as I was. I tried. Forgive me Oh, what must you think of me? He took her hands in his, looked at her steadily, very seriously. Ive always thought you were the loveliest person Ive ever known. Its the habit of a lifetime. I cant break it now. Tears streamed down over her cheeks. She made no attempt to check them. I want you to know, she said, that I feel toward you now, at this moment, just as Ive always felt. This this thing that has happened hasnt changed it. I love you as my best and my dearest friend. But you love John more? She nodded. Im so sorry," she cried pityingly. Im too fond of you to tell you less than the truth." He laid her hands gently in her lap, rose, walked to the stood with his back to her, lighting a cigarette. When he turned, his face was peaceful.

Its all right, Gay. Is It? Her voice was wistful. Im so fond of you.

"And it doesnt do any good? Her eyes fell away from his face, less peaceful now, drawn with fatigue and pain. It only makes me more certain, she said scarcely audibly. He drew a long shaken breath. Well, thats that." Glancing up she saw the corners of his lips lift In a I should say, now, difficult smile. in a husky voice but with a smile, that Ill always love you, little girl, and if you ever need me or want His voice altered. I do say me it, Gay. Ive had considerable experience getting you out of scrapes. If you ever need me Youre a dear, Todd. I wish He flung the cigarette into the fire, went to the couch, dropped down beside her, drew her close in a strong embrace. Gay, darling, cant you?" his lips whispered against her cheek. She put aside his eager arms. Her hands lifted to his face. Her eyes met his, bright, now, with a sort of despairing hope that moved her to pity, gentleness, poignant regret. Todd.
