THIRD INSTALMENT
“Upon my word, Linda-”
She laughed in cool unconcern.
"My dear boy, please don’t pretend.
You forget that this isn’t the first
tmie I’ve had to stand by and watch
you muddle your way out of an affair
like this. I don’t really care, except
for Diana’s sake—she looks ill, terri
bly ill.”
"Are you going to blame me for
that? Really, this is beyond a joke. I
suppose you’re annoyed because I
brought her here to dinner. Perhaps
that was stupid of me, but-”
She came a step forward, her bright
eyes meeting his very directly.
"If you want me to divorce you,
Dennis—I will,” she said.
There was a moment of absolute si
lence; then she went on, still in the
same unemotional way:
"I think I’ve grown a little tired of
this sort of life. We’re neither married
nor unmarried, and after all, I’m still
young, and there are other men in the
world.”
"Other men—you mean . . .”
''Never, mind what I mean. I’m
making you a fair offer. If you want
to marry Diana I’m willing to divorce
you. Youji better think it well over
before you refuse,” she added with a
little ironical smile, "because I may
never be so generous again.”
Dennis stifled an oath. He looked
hot and angry as he went out of the
rnnm.
Linda sighed and turned with a
smile as Diana returned. She had col
oured her lips and her cheeks, and she
looked less worn, but there was a lit
tle defiant light in her eyes as she
caane towards Linda.
"I really feel terribly Apologetic,”
she said rather unsteadily.
Linda wenit with them to the door.
"Don’t keep her out too late, Den
nis,” she said lightly. "And I hope
you’ll have a good time,” she added, a
hint of laughter in her voice. ±5eh nd
Diana’s back Dennis gave his wife a
furious look; he felt that he was be
ing made a fool of, and the sensation
was not pleasant.
They rode in silence till tne cab
stopped at the Savoy* *
They went to the ballroom, which
was not at all crowded, and Dennis
ordered champagne.
He almost wished he had insisted
upon staying at the flat with L.nda.
He roused himself with an effort and
touched Diana’s hand.
"Do you care to dance?”
"As you like.”
She rose apathetically, and they
joined the dancers.
The brilliant lights of the ballroom
blinded her, and the noise of the band
suddenly became deafening, driving her
half mad.
• She gave a little foolish laugh.
" 'Man made the town,” she said—
"the horrible, horrible town . . . .”
Then, with a little moaning cry, she
slipped to the floor at Dennis Water
man’s feet.
CHAPTER IV
Everything was so very quiet, as
if one had slipped out of life into the
infinite space where only the stars
hung against their dark background
and the cool winds blew.
She opened her eyes and looked
round the room. Drawn blinds veiled
most of it from her, but she could
faintly pick out a flowered wall pa
per and the shadowy shape of a dress
ing table—an old-fashioned-looking
dressing table in a chintz-and-muslin
petticoat.
That was queer, tor sne naa never
seen a dressing table like chat since
she was quite a little girl, poking about
in a wooden workbox on her grand
mother’s dressing table.
She was dreaming, of course—
dreaming backwards into a past which
she had almost forgotten.
Such a queer world-different,
somehow ....
Diana tried to raise her head from
the pillow, but the effort was too
great, and she lay still for a little, eyes
closed again, breathing heavily.
A hand on her wrist now—not
.Aunt Gladwyn’s hand—but one that
was firm and strong; a hand that
seemed to put new life and strength
into one . . . not like Dennis Water
man’s hand, that only made one s
pulses jerk suffocatingly and filled
one’s heart with unrest.
Diana gave a little stifled cry. She
remembered now: he was the doctor
from Harley Street whose eyes had
seemed to pierce through all the brav
ery of her carefully reddened lips and
make-up. right down through her ar
tificiality, to the trembling weakness
of her.
He heard the little cry and came
back.
"Well,” he said very gently as if he
were speaking to a child. Diana smil
ed too, confidently.
"You’ve got your own way,,’ she
whispered.
He .laughed at that.
"I generally do in the long run,”
he said.
It was wearisome work trying to
get well; more wearisome when at last
Diana felt the first tug of returning
health and the consequent revolt
against enforced Inaction.
Everyone was so tryingly optimis
tic. No matter how much Diana sulk
ed or how rude she tried to be, she
was met with the same determined
kindness and good temper from the
woman who, as she soon discovered,
was a trained nurse and in charge of
her. V
This "Creature,” as Diana soon call
ed her to herself, was -fortyish, with
gray hair and the peaceful expression
of one who has gone through so many
turbulent waves chat life no longer
frightened her. Her proper name was
Miss Starling: a name which Diana
thought most suitable, seeing that she
was eternally chirping tidings of good
hope and wonderful days to come. Di
ana also discovered that once upon a
time she had been a nurse in a big Lon
don hospital, but that she had given it
up in order to retire into the country
and take in difficult cases for special
Ict-«
"Dr. Rathbone isn’t a specialist,”
was Diana’s first remark that showed
any return to her old spirit.
r"Dr. Rathbone,” Miss Starling re
torted calmly, "is a very wonderful
man; he has saved your life, what
ever you may think of him.”
"I don’t think of him at all,” Diana
retorted peevishly, and turned her face
against the pillow, closing her eyes.
Miss Starling sat at the window,
knitting by the light which shone
through the half-olosed curtains; she
did not really need any light at all,
seeing that she always knitted me
chanically, with hardly a downward
glance.
The needles made an -irritating little
clicking sound.
Diana flung the clothes back rest
lessly.
"Can’t I get up?”
"Not till Dr. Rathbone says you
may.”
"He won’t say it for ages.”
"Then I’m afraid you’ll have to stay
in bed.”
Petulant tears filled Diana’s eyes.
The clicking of knitting needles
stopped, and Miss Starling rose.
"I think we might have the blind
up a little,” the Creature said. "It’s
such a wonderful evening.”
The blind was raised a little higher,
and Diana caught a glimpse of leafy
trees and a patch of blue sky through
lacy boughs.
"Where is this place?” she asked
suddenly.
_ . •» • 1 1-.
Surrey—udoui a nine uuiwuc a nw
tie village called Cheam.”
Diana made a little grimace.
"Dr. Rathbone has a house not far
away,” Miss Starling said presently.
"Oh!” Diana was wearily twisting
the soft strands of her hair once more.
"Is that why I’m here?” she asked.
“So that it will be easy for him to
come and see me?”
"It makes it more convenient for
him of course; he is a very busy man,
and if you had been a great way off
he would probably have put you in
the care of another doctor.”
"Why should he? I suppose he’d be
paid, no matter how far away I was.”
"Money is not everything. Dr. Rath
bone does a great deal without any
fee at all.”
"He’ll be paid for me.”
"Yes, but then you’ve plenty of
money. There are many poor people
far more ill chan you are who cannot
afford to pay anything.”
"Another lecture!” Diana told her
self.
There was an unbroken silence for
some moments, then Diana asked: "Is
he married?”
"Dr. Rathbone? No.”
"He ought to be,” Diana said per
versely. "He’s quite old.”
"What do you call 'quite old’?”
Diana considered. "Oh—forty, I
suppose.”
"Dr. Rathbone is only about thirty
eight.”
"He looks fifty,” Diana declared
unkindly.
"How did I come here?” Diana ask
ed.
"Dr. Rathbone brought you. You
were taken ill—perhaps you remember
—and Mrs. Gladwyn rang Dr. Rath
bone because she was frightened and
did not know what to do.”
"I only fainted. It wasn’t anything.”
No answer again.
"Has Aunt Gladwyn been to see
me?”
"No. Dr. Rathbone would not al
low her to come.”
"Dr. Rathbone seems to think he
can rule my life. I suppose I shall soon
have to ask his permission when I want
new cloches.”
"I don’t chink they would interest
him.”
"I don’t suppose I interest him eith
er, really—do I?”
"Very much—as a patient.”
“I suppose he makes a great deal of
money.”
Miss Starling said quietly:
"Dr. Rathbone runs a small home
for children at his own expense—that
cannot be done for a small sum.”
"He seems to be a kind of hero,”
Diana sneered.
"Can I get you anything? If not, I
shall leave you for a little while.”
"I don’t want anything,” was the
not very gracious reply.
The door closed softly.
Why bad the Creature left her
alone? She did not want to be left
alone to her thoughts. When Rath
bone came again she would tell him
that she would not be left to her
thoughts, not for a single moment. If
he was such an autocrat, of course he
would see that her wishes were obey -
ed.
CHAPTER V
It would be fun to get out of bed
and creep over to the window, fun to
see what lay outside, under the shel
ter of those leafy trees.
She listened, but there was no sound
in the house, and with a little elfish
smile she put the bed clothes gently
aside and swung her feet down to the
floor.
Her legs felt as if they did not be
long to her, and if there had not been
a table and a chair to cling to she
would never have reached the window
at all. But she was there at last, breath
less and faint, with beads of exhaus
tion on her face.
The fresh air revived her a little,
and she knelt down by the open win
dofw, both Hands clinging to^he nar
row sill.
It was very beautiful; Diana knelt
there by the window looking out with
eyes that were somehow tragic in her
white face.
She felt weak and helpless; she
wished it was not so far back to bed.
Not that she wanted to go back—she
felt that she could have stayed there
forever looking out on the fields and
trees and hedges. She hated the coun
try, and yet it gave her such a feeling
of peace: like someone laying a cool
hand on your forehead when it ached
very badly after a succession of late
nights.
She turned round and looked at the
bed—it seemed miles away. She made
an effort to rise but checked herself
quickly. She was sure she would fall.
The ball was so far away too—on the
other side of the bed, and she was too
weak to cry out. She might try, but
they would not hear her if she did.
