CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
When Silas had gone with
their order, which he would not
relegate to one of his underlings,
Cathy said, “Silas is an institu
tion in Cypressville—one of the
leaders of his race. I don't im
agine he has an enemy in the
world. Mattie, his wife, is one
of the finest women I know—
of any any race, creed or color.”
“It’s obvious you don't have
any race problem here,” said
Mark.
“Oh, I suppose trouble could
be stirred up, only—well, I think
we understand each other, and
each respects the other,” admit
ted Cathy.
There was a slight commotion
at the entrance to the dining
room, caused by the arrival of
half a dozen people m whom
the others in the room seemed
greatly interested.
Cathy turned her head and her
silly heart did a nip-up
For Edith Kendall was leading
the group, resplendent in violet
lace and diamonds, followed by
the lovely Elaine Stovall, her
hand slipped possessively
through Bill’s arm, her blond
head tilted back, her lovely,
laughing face toward his down
bent one as though they shared
some exquisite, intimate joke.
Behind them were two other
couples, of the town's most
elect.
Maggie said dryly, ‘ Let the
trumpets blow and the festivities
begin. The Dowager Queen has
arrived with her court!”
Mark eyed the group as Silas,
properly impressed and sub
servient. escorted them to the
most advantageously placed
table in the room.
“So that,” said Mark thought
fully, “ is the Dowager Queen
“No one else but.” said Mag
gie.
“Impressive, no end.” Mark
agreed, but there was a hint
of a twinkle in his eyes. “Who’s
the gorgeous blond babe—not
the Crown Princess?”
“Prospective,” said Maggie.
“The tall guy with her is the
Crown Prince.”
Mark’s eyes went swiftly to
Cathy and back to Bill, who was
not yet aware of their presence.
He was still bending, absorbed,
above Elaine, who was using her
lovely hands in little fluttering
gestures, to illustrate some
story she was telling.

“So that,” observed Mark
thoughtfully, “is the guy.”
Cathy looked swiftly at him
and their eyes tapgled. The
color surged upward in her face
and she said breathlessly, “I—
I’m sure I don’t know what you
mean.”
Mark struck a match, watch
ed it burn, and deposited the
end in an ash tray, his eyes
apparently absorbed in the tiny,
brief-lived flame.
“Anybody ever tell you you
talk in your sleep, pal?” he
asked then. “You'd be surprised
how much I know about the guy
— his name for one thing, is
Bill—"
He looked up at Maggie and
smiled.
“Not that there was time for
much sleeping on that little trek
of ours, of which you’ve no
doubt heard more than enough.”
he told her. “But your chick
here was a pretty rugged in
dividual. She insisted that she
take her turn at watching, when
we were too exhausted to travel
any further and had to stop to
rest. She slept while I watched;
and then I slept while she watch
ed; and the only time she lost
her temper and blew her top in
the whole time was once when I
let her sleep beyond her allotted
time.”
The orchestra blared forth
with a blast that as Maggie,
jumping a little, complained, al
most blew the scup out of her
plate. A moment later the floor
began to fill with couples.
Among the first on the floor were
Bill and Elaine, and it was as
they began to dance that Bill
glanced incuriously around the
room and his eyes found Cathy.
She had been watching him.
and when he saw her, there was
not time for her to turn her
gaze away. For a moment they
looked straight at each other;
then Bill’s eyes went swiftly to
Mark, to Maggie, and back to
Cathy, and even across the
room. Cathy could see the
change in his expression.
She was not at all surprised,
and she had had time to brace
herself a little, when Bill danced
Elaine to their table, paused and
said with every evidence of sur
prised delight. “Well. Cathy—
this is a surprise Hello. Miss
Maggie.”
Elaine looked with cold, un
friendly eyes at Cathy as Bill
presented her; Mark, on his
feet, was eyeing Bill with a cur
ious intentness, but his manner
was perfect as the two men
shook hands.
“Won’t you join us9” asked
Mark politely.
“Thanks, we’re with a party.”
answered Bill, and looked down

at Cathy. “How about giving me
a dance, Cathy? “ He glanced
at Mark and said politely, “Do
you mind?”
Mark said, his eyes on Elaine,
“Not a bit—Provided you don’t
mind Miss Stovall’s giving me a
dance?”
Elaine’s eyes had gone over
the officer appraisingly, linger
ing on the insignia on his shoul
der, and now her limpid blue
eyes were warm and friendly.
“I think that would be lovely,”
she said, and her voice was
warm and musical.
Mark said, “Then what are we
waiting for?” and held out his
arms.
As Mark and Elaine moved
away, Bill looked down at Cathy
and said, “As the Major just
asked — what are we waiting
for?”
Cathy looked almost piteously
at Maggie, and Maggie said
gruffly, “For goodness’ sake, go
on and dance. I’ve reached the
age where good food that I did
not cook myself holds more
charm for me than dancing—or
companionship either.
Cathy got up. Bills arms went
aboiit her, and she set her teeth
hard. She wasn't at all sure that
she could endure the exquisite
strain of being in Bills arms,
here in public, remembering to
dance when all in the world she
wanted to do was to creep close
to him and be held there for
the rest of her life.
Bill said when they had gone
halfway around the floor:
“He s quite a guy, Cathy.”
“He's — wonderful, she said
huskily.
Bills arms tightened a little.
“1 don't seem to care much for
the way you say that,” he said.
Miss Stoval is — beautiful,”
said Cathy huskily.
Bill’s jaw hardened.
“Miss Stovall is very beauti
ful and very cloying, and a men
tal lightweight not to be taken
seriously for an instant, he said
sharply.
A little of the tightness that
was almost pain loosened in
Cathy's heart and she smiled at
him, though with tremulous lips.
Bill, looking down at her, mur
mured under his breath:
“Oh, darling — darling. Don't
look at me like that—unless you
want to be kissed, right here in
public.
“I don't thing I'd mind,” she
told him unsteadily.
“But when there’s a moon out
side, and the roses are outdoing
what the nursery promised
when it planted them, kisses are
too precious to be wasted in
public,” said Bill under his
breath. A moment later he had
danced her to one of the long
French doors that stood open to
the silver-white beauty of the
night.
Beneath the thick darkness of
a giant live oak, his arms drew
her close and'hard against him,
and for a long, long moment
they were silent, savoring to the
full this exquisite moment.
“Darling heart,” said Bill very
low, “my dearest darling.”
“I—love you, Bill,” said Cathy
huskily.
His arms tightened Soon,
sweet — very soon, now,” he
promised, and with that she was
content. There was room in her
heart only for the perfect beauty
of this moment, when Bill’s
arms were tight about her and.
when Bill’s kisses on her warm
mouth were flooding her with
an ecstasy beyond anything she
had ever known or dreamed.
When they turned to go back
into the clubhouse, she gave a
little soft laugh and said un
steadily, “I’d better go and do
things to my face, or everybody
will read our secret the moment
we step into the room!”
Bill kissed her and said, “Is
your lipstick kiss-proof?”
“I’ve never had the chance to
try it out before,” she answered
him gaily. “But you look quite
all right. You look wonderful to
me, Bill.”
He reached for her again but
she laughed and slipped away,
going in through the main en
trance across the lobby to the
powder room. Bill selected a
cigaret and lit it before going
back through the French door
to the dining room.
