CHAPTER IX CONNELLY turned from the telephone to calm Marthas fears. Sheilas all right. She was arrested for speeding. Police are being particularly vigilant tonight. . . . Theres nothing to get excited about. Ill have her home in half an hour." tlWiat a way to start the New Year, Martha breathed. In jail! Shes really not in a cell, the 'doctor explained, merely detained at the station. Kathleen is with her. He paused at the door. "Better see what there is in the house for a New Years party. Therell be no dancing for the twins tonight. He tried to make his voice sound sternly paternal, but Martha knew he was secretly glad for an excuse to have the girls at home. The door slammed behind him. Martha sank wearily into a chair. ... when was after ITturned, ushered two 11 Hugh rechastened daughters Into the house. Weeping had played havoc with Shelias station dust police makeup, streaked her white formal. She burst into tears again as she rushed into Marthas firms. Oh, Mommy, Mommy! It was Martha terrible. I was arrested! patted her, comfortingly. At her fathers side, Kathleen grinned impishly, the twinkle in her eyes matching that in his. It was swell, Mom. Imagine Sheila being arrested. Why, some of our best families were there. Louie the Dip, Chopper Tony, Butch, the burglar. It was swell. I wouldnt I have missed It You didnt have to go to jail, You werent arSheila sobbed. rested, and brought up before the judge. "Even if I had been Kathleen! Marthas tone silenced her. You and your father make some sandwiches and coffee. This is New Years Eve. Well ring in the new with our own party. I was only teasing, Sheila, Kathleen apologized. Honest, I was as scared as you were. Martha waited until the doctor, Mary and Kathleen had disappeared into the kitchen then asked: What was this, Sheila? How did you get arrested? We were going down the bou levard, Kathleen and I. We left the boys at the house and were coming over to pick up Mary. I guess I was going a little fast This motorcycle patrolman stopped us, took us down to the station. We had to prove that we hadnt been drinking, and they wouldnt let us go until Dad came down. Kathleen called here, then called the boys. They came right down, but they didnt have enough money to pay the fine. When Dad arrived he said wed have to come home that we couldnt go to the party. Wont you ask Dad to let us go, Mommy? He will if you ask him. Its New Years. It only comes once a year and this is a grand party. I know it is. Martha smiled. I think it can be arranged, if youll stay here until afte- - midnight. Your father and I are selfish enough to want you to ourselves when this year begins. But I dont want you to stay at home, and neither does Hugh, unless you really want to . . Mommy, you know we want to be with you. Sheilas smile banished her tears. 'T'HEY stood before the fireplace, hands tightly clasped, as the clock began the first of 12 strokes ending the year. Over the city, church bells began to ring. Sor fired a gun. Whistles shrieked. "Should old acquaintance . . . Hugh started tl.e song . . . Marthas clear soprano held the last note. Hugh kissed his wife tenderly. Mav 1941 be as happy, my dear, as all the other 'ears weve been together. Her eyes were shining. Weve so much to be thankful for, Hugh . . . If if " she hesitated, and he read her thoughts. If Jerry were here, he finished for her. This celebration would be perfect. Dont worry about the boy. Hell be all right. Jerry is no fool. Hell do the right thing. "He should be here, with us. Martha, darlin. our children are growing up. This is the first New Years we all havent been together. And dont worry. Jerry will be here for breakfast. Thats the real family New Years. Weve been lucky to keep them all together this long. Theyll be getting married soon, establishing their own homes. Then therell be just you and I again like it was when we started. Remember? The telephone rang. Sheila interrupted her pronouncement of numerous New Years resolutions including I will not drive too to answer. Its probably fast our dates, wondering' if theyve ne been stood up by a couple of jailbirds Its for you, Dad. Laughter subsided as tire doctor listened intently, asked terse questions. He was senous as he replaced the instrument. Theres been an accident on the highway. I was hoping wed get through the holidays without any serious smashups. . . . People will drive too fast, on slick pavement . . . Sheila ran to get his coot and hat, Kathleen brought his galoshes. Call the hospital, Dr. Connelly went on. Tell them to be ready for anything. One man is dead, another seriously hurt, the highway patrol officer said. He hurried into his coat. Ill get home as soon as I can. If you youngsters go out, drive carefully, and look out for the other fellow. Dont drive too fast yourself, Hugh, Martha called to him, but he was gone. ... accident cast a shadow over THE A their party. There was no room for laughter now. Why someone elses misfortunes should affect a doctors family, Martha could never understand, yet it was true. Kathleen yawned, broke the silence. If those fellows dont call "Don, Im going to bed. Maybe they wont call. They may jus drop by for us, Sheila suggested. The telephone at Martha's bow jangled again. She lifted receiver. el- the Dr. Connelly is not in. . . .
