CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
NOTHING Lois Lyndon could
have done would have made Larry
detest her more thoroughly. Posi
tively slinking, Anette pulled her
momentary escort from his chair
and led him to the dance stage and
into a hilarious conga chain. Above
everything, she did not wish Larry
to know she had witnessed that
moment of utter debasement.
When they arrived home, about 3
o'clock, and Larry reached for a
mirror and began a penetrative
scrutiny of his temples, she knew
he did not suspect she had seen or
heard anything. And, for once, she
was thankful that the liquor had
dimmed his perception.
Site even asked with careless
laughter. "What on earth arc you
looking for, darling?”
"Gray hairs,” he said immedi
ately, still turning and twisting his
head.
The girl slipped out of her long
silver cloth coat, then walked over
and took the hand mirror away
from him. “How ridiculous!” she
scolded mildly, "Y’ou haven't had
one for ages.”
“Eut I have, Anette. I've been
pulling them out. They seem to get
there faster than I can yank them
out." His worried gaze sought hers.
“Tell me iiow I seem to you, An
ette. You're only 19. Do I seem old
to you?”
“It's not your long white beard
that I mind. It's the way your
joints creak when you lower your
self to your wheel chair." Flip
pancy changed into impatient
sharpness. "Larry, to me you arc
the most wonderful and perfect
person in the world. You're just
right. In your work, you’re right
for August's 40, or whatever she is.
just as you’re right in real life for
my 19. I don't think of you as any
thing except perfect. That day ir
your theater dressing room in Chi
cago, when you kissed me, I swore
never to admit how much I loved
you, to keep it from you as a sort
of self-preservation or inner pride
or something. I don't know exactly
what.” She shook her head. "But
now, I don t want to keet quiet. It
would be useless anyway, because
you know how much I love you
Y'ou know that I’m sick with it and
that I’ll never be any other way."
She put her hands on his black-clad
shoulders, yet kept her distance.
"Anette, the doormat.”
Larry gazed at her, so beautiful
in her bouffant gown of white and
silver embroidery, her jewels shim
mering like myriad lights. Then he
snatched her into his arms. "Oh.
my darling, I'm such a fool—such
a fool!"
He repeated the same remark to
August Drake the morning after.
They were having an 11 o'clock
meal in a small, glass-wall break
fast room. Tiie actress did not
argue with him.
"I don't know why I get myself
involved in silly situations." He
glowered into an empty cereal dish.
"Like this Lois Lyndon episode."
His eyes sought August’s. "Y’ou
know, the crazy kid has marrying
ideas. Imagine! Eut it's all over
now, thank heaven!”
The actress poured herself a cup
of black coffee. "I never could fig
ure out why you passed Lois tq
| cold when you were single. Why
did you haw to wait until you were
married to discover her charms?”
"So long as she was kissing me,”
lie confessed, "I was bored with
her Then, to jolt Anette into com
ing with rue. I kissed Lois. That's
when it started to be different.
After all, August, it had been over
a year since I'd kissed anyone ex
cept Anette.
“What a record!" August com
mented dryly.
"Well, it was! You know how
many girls I usually averaged a
season.”
"Spare me!” The actress forbade,
with an upraised hand. “Anyway,
marriage is supposed to make a
difference in one's romances.”
Larry waited until the Filipino
waiter had served bacon and
poached eggs and retired to the
seiving pantry. “These silly little
affairs have nothing to do with my
marriage," lie insisted.
"That's '. remark men have
been mak r since the first one
made a foe jf himself. Silly affairs
mean something to Anette.”
A quick unhappiness swept
across Laurence Peyton's face. “If
she would just be the spunky little
dickens she used to be, instead of
such a meek angel, I’d feci better.
I find myself wishing she'd hit me
with a brick."
“Why shouldn't she be meek ?
You’ve taken her work away from
her and you do pretty well at tak
ing yourself from her.”
Larry scoffed, “Anette doesn't
care about her work.”
"You are lying and you know it,”
his partner pronounced. "If ever I
saw a girl intended for the theater,
she is it.”
“All the same she isn't going to
be. The only appearances I want
her making are those as Laurence
Peyton’s wife.”
“Why, you detestably conceited,
selfish pig!” gritted August. She
hardly could remember when any
personal matter had irritated her
sufficiently to cause tears other
than those commonly called croco
dile. But tears of sincerity were in
her eyes now.
“Take it easy!” Larry said soft
ly, but harshly. "You know I’ve
tried to get her a break. But I'll
be darned if I'll let her start out
as one of the slarlets on a penny
bank salary.”
"She would be willing.”
Peyton said in determined repeti
tion. “Well, I’m not! So since they
won’t offer her what she is worthy
of, she is better off just as my
wife.”
August Drake’s glass - h e e 1 e d
boudoir slipper came down on the
floor bell. “Bring me some brown
sugar and heavy cream,” she di
rected tiie Filipino boy. Later,
burying the unsweetened stewed
apples of her diet beneath that
double richness, she accused Larry,
"It's your fault. You make me so
mad I have to do something vio
lent and this is the most violent
thing I can do.”
In a tone of dictatorship the man
said, "You shouldn't touch it. You
know what it will do to your hips.”
"Yes. And I know what the
woofle water is doing to you.” The
fiery-haired actress turned angry
. i yes toward her partner. “Either
that or the robe you're wearing la
darned unbecoming. And I'm sure."
she continued viciously, "it is not
the robe.”
Larry flushed. "Well, what is a
guy going to do in a town whcra
champagne flows like Goose Creek
in March?"
"Wlty don’t you try shaking your
head crosswise for a change in
stead of up and down?”
Rebelliously Larry said, "1 lika
to drink."
"But you've got to have soma
sense about it. I like to eat, too,”
she flared. "I'd like to sit down
right now to a New England meal
of baked beans, country sausage,
corn pudding, creamed oysters,
cider jelly, apple Betty—when I
marry Ted," she asserted, “I’m go
ing to eat everything and as often
as I wish.”
Laurence Peyton put down hia
fork and leaned back in his chair.
"Do you mean to say you are going
to get married again?” When she
nodded, without losing a chance at
a bite of cream and sugar soaked
apples, he said, "I should think
you’d realize what marriage will do
to your picture career.”
"In this town where couples you
don’t even know are married get
divorces?” August hooted. “Don’t
be idiotic! Besides, when I made
that remonstrance concerning your
marriage you told me it was an old
chestnut."
"You kept on finding fault just
the same,” Larry reminded.
"Yes, and I still don't think much
of your marriage,” she declared
meaningly.
"Don’t bother yourself with it.”
"Oh, I won’t.” She gave a high
shouldered shrug. “I’ll just think
about my own. I'm going to get
wrinkles and chins and hips and
stomachs—”
The man cut in churlishly, "Then
you won't work with me.”
"I’ll bet you're right.”
During that lull, Anette walked
into the breakfast room, lovely in
a bright-striped gypsy dress, and
completely rested after the first
good sleep in many weeks. “How
lovely to find you two smoking a
peace pipe." She had the morning
theatrical pages under her arm. "I
thought you'd be fighting over the
scissors to cut out these marvelous
reviews.”
* * *
The indoor shots for the second
Drake-Peyton vehicle, "The Kash
mir Song,” were made first, after
an idyllic, but very short rest for
the starring pair. Shooting lasted
through June, at which time they
went on location outside Yuma for
the outdoor scenes.
Loudly vociferous, Larry object
ed to Ralph Hay, “Snow scenes in
the winter. Desert sands in the
summer. What a business!"
He was his usual unsympathetic
self. “Some people," he observed
wearily, "just sweat. Others get
paid $3,500 a week for it.”
It was while Larry was in Yuma
that Anette saw Lois Lyndon in the
Beverly Hills shop of Drachman
Fifth Avenue. Lois pretended not to
see Anette. For that reason it
pleased her to step beside the
blonde girl and force her unwilling
recognition.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
CORNERED, Lois said, "How
tire you anyway, Anette?" She
feigned nonchalance as she turned
back to the hand-made lingerie she
had been examining.
"I'm fine, since your little ro
mance is over," Anette said with
specific frankness. The fact that
she was feeling particularly well
dressed in her black • 1 white
print linen redingof.-. . o her'
candor. Clipped oi. : , ne coa.
pockets was Lai. : '.aiest gift,
given to her just . . • he had ieft
for Yuma, a pin mat res- :.:bled
lilies of the valley, or' t il pearl
blossoms on flexible diamond
stems. It pleased her to catcli the
blonde girl’s gaze on its costly glit
ter. "Why haven't you been over?”
Anette asked. "I can remember the
old days when you practically
haunted me. Of course," she said
cuttingly, "that was when you
more or less had to depend on me
to see my husband.”
With unsteady white hands, Lois
Lyndon pushed a mist blue and
Valenciennes lace nightgown to
ward the salesgirl. "I'll be in some
other time and decide." As she
turned away Anette fell into step
with her.
"Let's go over to The Derby and
have a drink,” Lois suggested.
The girl was not looking her
best, Anette decided, as she eyed
her across the table. As usual, she
was exquisitely dressed, in a white
tailored suit, tomboyishly simple in
appearance, that doubtlessly had
cost her a couple of hundred dol
lars. She wore a hand-tucked
blouse, white suede, blunt-toed ox
fords and a gay turban of paisley
Her only ornaments were a lapel
watch and matching ring of gold
and rubies. It was not her clothes.
Nor her slenderness. She was in
variably slim. No, it was something
in her eyes, those very blue eyes
that seemed to have lost some of
their brazen sauciness.
She fished a cigaret from a white
leather case and lit it. "You ask
why I haven't been to see you. Be
cause I feel like a special edition
of a rat, that's why. I did while I
jlvas seeing Larry, and I still do."
fr?5Her disconsolate face affected
finette despite her wish to treat !
the ^irl with flintlike inconsidera
te. "Somehow, I can't blame you :
.for becoming so attached to Larry. ■
I’d never dare try to count the 1
women who are in love with him
I knew so long as he took you '
lightly, along with lh§ Mhers. that 1
I had nothing to jw^Jr“Shout." She '
took a small sip' of hrr frozen (
Daiquiri. “It was when he started 1
being attentive to you that I
started worrying. That kiss on the (
balcony, your being together at 1
Sun Valley, your stolen dates here 1
in town, worse even, those nights '
when we were at the same parties ‘
and I had to watch you—I was so
u n h a p p y,” she observed, as if !
speaking to herself. I
"That I know," said Lois. •‘I've 1
been unhappy, too.”
‘But I have the right to be un- :
happy over Larry.” Anette said (
You don't!" 1
For a few seconds that seemed '
endless to Anette, she braved the 1
Wonde girl's gaze of animosity !
Then Lois stared at the stem of her 1
cocktail glass whes* her fingers
vvers pressed against it. "1 know," s
•he granted. “You know, my daddv
taught mo that anything a person
wanted was a matter of taking.”
She paused an instant to conquer
tlie barely noticeable trembling of
her rounded white chin. ‘‘Well,
Daddy was wrong. I know that
now. 1 know, too, in spite of all the
tough veneer I've put on, that I’m
an out and out romanticist. A few
‘darlings’ from Larry, a few kisses
—not many,” she admitted to Lau
rence Peyton's wife, without look
ing up, “a few telephone calls and
drinks sneaked here and there—
and I had a crazy idea lie was go
ing to marry me.” She did not look
up then. There were tears of hu
miliation in her blue eyes. ‘‘Really
I did. It was so silly of me. And
then, one night he said something
that made me know how little I
actually meant to him, that I was
simply an amusing interlude—so 1
blew up and said things that made
him lost to me forever in every
way. But it's better. He never did
love me and now he feels abso
lutely nothing."
Anette spoke to some friends of
her husband's who passed by their
table. To Lois, she said, “And you?
Do you still love him?”
“No—but I'm sort of beat clown
to my own size from tlie bitter ex
perience. I couldn't believe it at
first. I had made such incredible,
unwarrantable plans in my own
mind. So i telephoned tlie studio
and evi n managed to run into him
— ihc accidentally - on- purpose
meetings. It was awful—" Sud
i"idy she broke off to inquire,
'Doesn’t it seem strange to you for
no to be talking this way to you?”
“No,” replied Peyton's wife with
i half smile.
‘‘That’s funny,” Lois frowned
gently, "because, it doesn’t seem
'unny to me either." She lit a sec
ant! cigaret and ordered another
locktail for herself. Anette refused.
'Yes, it was awful,” Lois resumed,
'because, with that little flirtatious
‘park gone, there was nothing left
n Larry but a cold indifference. In
lifference is worse than hatred. I
vent a little wild. 1 drank too
nuch. I always have, but I drank
■ till more. I couldn't sleep. 1 drove
ioor Jimmy crazy, making him get
ip and drive with me at all hours
>f tlie night. Crazy notions at crazy
lours. And all the time I thought
ibout Larry. Those broad, broad
moulders in that blue-gray mottled
weed coat that I like so well, the
vay his barber trims his hair in
hat perfect line back of the ears,
he wonderful color of his skin, the
vay his eyelashes curl like a little I
hoir boy s—without detracting one
lit from complete masculinity."
Laurence Peyton's wife leaned
in her elbows and edged closer to
be girl. Deliberately she wanted to
deed her of every emotion. "But
vhat," she persisted, “made you
lecide you were no longer in love?"
"The way he treated me. I won’t
tand for that sort of treatment
orever.” She drained her Manhat
an and swallowed the cherry
Then, too, I knew my chances as
no. 2 girl were over when that San
ra person began slinking around
uni. Of course,” she told Anette
”‘h a smile, "her chances are over,
oo, before sbe so much as starts
-ccause no one can best vou " Lois
<yndon reached for tlie check.
Even if she is a stunning critter
he's licked.”
Anette said truthfully, "I don't
know of a more stunning person
than you, Lois, so don't be im
pressed by Sandra."
In her car, speeding home, she
thought, “Sandra, Sandra. Who is
j Sandra?” Her fingers gripped the
! steering wheel so tightly they en
circled it and sent the nails into
her palms. "It's going to happen
again,” she wailed inwardly, “and
I don't even know who it is, except
that she is beautiful enough to
frighten Lois Lyndon." What was
the matter with Larry, anyway?
Their hours together were so sweet,
so full and complete as far as sh#
was concerned, but apparently
Larry felt the need of a second in
terest, a not particularly intense
one evidently, simply a person
eternally ready with eager flattery.
Yes, that angle was right, because
when Lois Lyndon had cut his
pride, he had been finished utterly.
At home she began packing a
few things without the knowledge
or assistance of either of the house
maids—simple cotton clothes, suit
able for hot weather. She changed
into shirt and slacks, climbed into
a small car and headed for the lo
cation set of "The Kashmir Song.”
About 1 o'clock in (he morning,
just as the desert was beginning
to cool, she arrived in Yuma, un
bearably tired and dirty. Rather
than wake Larry, she took a sep
arate room in the El Molino. The
sleepy desk clerk gave her a
strange look when she signed the
register but said nothing. Neither
did Anette; she was too eager for
the - tranquility cf her air-cooled
room.
The arduous trip through the
heat liad so overtaxed her strength
lhat she slept long past the time
she had intended. She leaped to lift
the window shade and knew, even
before glancing at her watch, that
it was almost noon. In summer
daylight and in such heat, the call
probably had been very early. Sev
en o'clock. Six even. She should
have asked.
Dressed in fresh white clothes,
she hastened to the lobby. "Why
didn't you tell my husband I got in
last night?” she demanded of the
clerk.
He scratched his head. "Lady, 1
don’t get into no trouble with those
movie people. I didn't know but
what you weren't even speaking."
Realizing she could not blame
him, Anette obtained quick direc
tions and headed back on the Cali
fornia highway until she found the
turn-off that led V5 the Criterion
camp. She drove as close to the set
as was possible and finally located
Larry, seated in a canopied steamer
chair. When he saw her, he plowed
through loose desert sands to kiss
her, then led her to the sidelines.
Stand-ins, weary from long, pa
tient standing in the hot sun,
moved aside, and the director called
Larry for a scene. Just then,
August came out of her trailer
dressing room and embraced Anette
silently. When the scene had been
shot once and further instructions
were going on, the actress mur
mured in an undertone “That's a
part you could have done to per
fection." She nodded to the dark
girl beside Larry. "Instead, they
use that inexperienced Sandra
Owens who can't act for sour
apples."
