Mrs. Shaw was suspicious when she answered her doorbell, but after I had paid a week in advance for the room I had used during my first month in New York and had redeemed my trunk as well, she was glad to see me back. I took all my things from my trunk. I thought, as I hung them up, of Allegra Paget and the ghastly uniform in which she first had seen me. I should have dreamed of her that night, by all standards of romance and Freud, but I didnt I was too tired to dream of anything. I took a long time dressing. My shoes had to be shined and my hair needed cutting. I had barely time for a cup of coffee and arrived a little out of breath before the Morello where Higgins, once more arrayed in maroon and gilt, glared at me. he Ill trouble ye, Mallory, for the key of me flat growled, downstairs.

He followed me into the Paget apartment. Sunlight on the opposite whitewashed wall of the air shaft filled Miss Agathas dining room with a soft reflected cheer. The sun had been no more visibly marked by the day before than the old lady herself. She sat In her wheel chair at the table's head, white haired and sharp.

All morning I plowed through the uncensored annals of the Paget ancestry quotations from innumerable books, excerpts from court records, old letters and the like all compiled, no doubt with frequent shudders, by Everett Ferriter, genealogist When someone moved in the hall, I found my eyes Jumping from the scandalous annals before me to the open door. My heart would pound and then, when nothing happened, I would swear and bend again to my work. Once, in midmorning, I heard Allegra laugh in the dining room. Toward noon Miss Agatha rolled herself in. Well, she asked, do you begin to see why I wanted a newspaper man to write it? I begin to see," I told her, that a book like tins would sell. She lit a cigarette, blew smoke through her nose and shook her head. One of those I know," she said. literary strip dances. Im a sinful old woman, David, but Im not selling the bones of my ancestors, no matter what I think of their owmers. This book will be a family affair.
