CHAPTER III Ellen and Jerry lingered late at their dinner at the Freeland Farms. The dancing began at nine oclock and the orchestra, a pianist, a saxophone player and a drummer, were just taking their places at the far end of the hall. "They wanted to know whom I was going out to dinner with again. When I said you, they looked at each other you know parents and said that I seemed to be going out with you a great deal lately . . . so then I told them.

Ive met your father several times but he doesnt speak to me on the street, and your mother has never been friendly! What will they say when they know I have the audacity to want to marry you? They rose and floated away to the rhythm of the sentimental music. Ellen felt closer to Jerry when they danced than at any other time. They seemed so completely attuned then, step seeking step, turning instinctively in each graceful movement. He was just enough taller; he gave himself to the spirit of the underlying sensuousness of the air, communicated it to her. The music ended with an increased tempo and a final bang.

I manage to get about just get about. "Seems to me my aunt tried some kind of drmking water, a special kind. Lizz.e knitted her pale, scraggy brows. "Gavin, what was the name of the one I used so long? Gavin shook his head gloomily. Dunno. He, also, took a chair as if the worst of the tension was over. "Its a shame when a woman is at the age when she can enjoy life most, continued Jerry, "and she is taken with something ghastly like that! My aunt was a wonderful looking woman too. He hitched his chair an inch or so nearer Lizzie, looked into her face with sympathy and interest. Pale fires lit in her eyes, a revival of vanity. Wonderful? . . .

He had computed its cost and suspected Jerry of extravagant taste in clothes. Lizzie shook her head at him. "Settle it again no huiry, he muttered. He lett the room precipitously and did not return. Lizzie changed to a more comfortable chair, and drawn by Jerry's deferential attention, recounted in a tangential flow stories of her activities before she had been stricken, of her two sons, Caleb and Gavin Junior, the trouble she had keeping competent help, the oriental rugs she had bought, and the hotels she had found moat agreeable in Atlantic City.
