Suddenly she was face to face with

She hurried on to her lonely flat,

After a while she got up and washed
her face, determined to be sensible.
She couldn't eat yet?she was too
shaken?so she sat down with the

even thought maybe, If I happened to

She stopped, a little breathless. She
hadn't meant to commit herself so
far. Yet the lady was very kind, and
arrangements were easily made.
She had never been to the barracks
before, and she thrilled to the ride
over the snowy road, but she was
more fascinated by the children under
her care. Their too-bright eyes glit
tered, and they pressed sharp noses
against the car windows, leaving
marks where they had touched.
They were excited, terribly excited,
but happy, too. So was Marcia. Joy
and excitement shone from her eyes,
making her usually pleasant but rather
plain countenance radiant.
He stood tall and straight in his
officers' uniform, a handsome man. not
many years her senior. As soon as
the children began eating, he came
over and introduced himself.
"Having a good time?'* he asked.

"So are you."
"What?"
