CHAPTER V
, Cherry Pyeerott. member of
j the \\ aaX', hurries lo London to
! tiie apartment of her friend, De
i nise, who had married the man
j she loved. On arriving she linds
! that Denise no longer loves Si
mon, and that she is leaving that,
night to avoid meeting him on
his return from a tup to Ameri
fra. Cherry admits she has been
m love with Simon. Denise asks
her to stay and greet her hus
band with the bad news. Simon
arrives but Cherry withholds the
news. Learning that the train to
Bristol had trashed— the train
that Denise took — Simon and
Cherry drive there, identify De
n ise’ charred suitcase, and as
sume a badly burned body is hers
Months late: Simon and Cherry
are married hut Cherry’s happi
ness is spoiled at finding Denise’s
engagement ring in a drawer . . '
proving to Cherry that Denise is;
still alive. Cherry meets Jerry;
Miller secretly (Jerry hud run j
away with Denise) and asks if he
was witness to the accident in ;
which Denise was killed.
Cherry said quickly, “No, of]
course he didn't. Simon had no |
iiicu that Denise was running ’
away with anyone. It’s something
he must sev’er know. 1—I told >
hint she was on her way to meet j
I “You mean when she met her j
deuth in that railway accident? ;
1 lead about it in the pupers." i
"Yes.”
| "And you thought she’d gone:
! off with me?”
“I was pretty sure of it.“
‘Why.’"
“Well, I knew she and you
j were always together.”
“Did she tell you she was go- i
1 ing away w-ith me “
“Well, no, actually now that
I come to think about it she did
not. Dut she allowed it to he
under.-tood when 1 asked her if!
it was vou.“
Jerry s mouth twisted in an
odd smile. "She would. No. I ,
didn't have that honor. hut 1 !
did introduce her to a pal of
mine, an American who was iai
rich as Croesus. Here, I don’t !
think I’ve got all that quite clear.
Suppose you lav all your cards!
i n the table."
Cherry wished she hadn't come
“You didn’t meet me for my
iiresistibe charm. We've already,
gone into that. Hut you very deft-i
finitely wanted to sec me. You j
wanted to ask me one or two I
questions. So far you’ve asked
! me—what was it you said iust
now? Was I with Denise when
she was killed? Did I actually
see it happen?" He broke off,;
t-taring at her once again. "Holy
smoke you don’t imagine for one
moment that she isn’t dead after
all. do-you?"
"No, of course I don’t," said
Cherry angrily. "What an out
rageous suggestion!” But in
wardly she was quaking. Jerry
had guessed her secret. •
"I have a pretty shrewd sus
picion that you are not altogeth
“1 am. of course I am. But
oh Jerry do stop looking at me
us if you’ve caught me out over
something!"
But my sweet girl, I believe I
hav'e. I’ve never in my born days!
seen anyone look more guilty. ‘
Hut don’t get into such a state. I j
shan’t sav a word. Tell me, is J
your husband uncertain about ;
her death too?"
.vo, no certainly isn t
She could haw bitten ofl' her
tomrue the moment the words j
were spoken. Now she had really
been trapped into an admission.1
She tried to recover herself but i
only floundered helplessly. “Nei
ther am I. Jerry. lt‘s just ....
well. 1 wanted to know how it
all happened. I—I thought if you
were on the spot . . .“
Jerry touched her hand. “Lis-j
ten, my pretty one, don’t you
think you may as well tell Uncle
Jerry all about it?“
Cherry drew a quivering i
breath. She felt suddenly cor-j
nered, as if she were treading!
on thin ice and dared neither go \
forward nor back.
“Maybe," Jerry said, “I can;
help you in some way. I believe j
Toddy Schehck has gone back to |
the States. That's the man I’d j
say Denise made a bolt with. 11
could try to get in touch with j
him and find out if he can tell
us anything.’’
“Us.” That linked them to
gether. That meant she’d have
to meet him again and she didn’t
want to do it. She’d been prepar-,
ed for only this one meeting;,
she’d been willing to keep the1
knowledge of it from Simon.
“Don’t bother,” she said flatly j
“I—I wasn’t really worrying.”
"Oh yes, you were.” He look-;
ed at her quizzically. “You're |
very sweet- you know. Cherry. I
mean apart from your being so
easy on the eye and all the rest
of it. I take it you’d rather die
than lei vour beloved husband
know the kind of woman he was
leallv married to?”
"T believe I would,” said Cher
ry simply.
Jerrv sighed. “I wonder why
some men have all the luck.”
“J don’t think 'hey do. Rut I
'bink a man like Simon deserves
it.“
"I’d say he’s <rot it." He
'auirhed shortly. His voice was
sincere enennh. So was the ex
pression in his eyes. “I’d like to j
see you now and again, Cherry,”
“1 take it your husband doesn’t know you’re lunching with me today.
he said. ‘‘Besides, maybe I can
find out something troni Toddy.
The more I think about it the
more convinced I am he’s just
the man who could tell us what
we want to know.**
“Are you normally in touch
with him?” asked Cherry.
“More or less, lie's a corre
spondent for one of the New
York papers you know. Rather a
similar sort of joh to my own.
We chaps eet about. For all I
know he may be buck in England
again. At any rate Pll find out
and then the next time we meet
She shook her head. “There is
n't going to he u next time, Jer
ry.”
“Well, I‘ve said already that
he‘s a darned lucky man." He
smiled and shook his head. “Look
here, 1 ought to have some son
of say in this little matter. And
what's more Fm going to. We‘re
not living in the eighteen eigh
ties. There is no harm in a mar
ried woman lunching or dining
with some man other than her
husband. If 1 were married, I'd
like to think other men wanted
to take my wife uround. It
would show I’d picked a win
\ Cherry maue a little gesture.
“You don't understand, Jerry."
“Maybe not. 1 tune it your
husband doesn't know you are
lunching with me today?"
'•No.''
“1 guessed as much at Vale
rie's party. Next time we'll make
it dinner. I'll drop down to the
airdrome one evening . .
She said quickly, angrily, “1
shan't dine with you. Jerry."
lie raised his eyebrows.
“Won’t you? We’ll see. How
about it if 1 have some news
that might be of interest to you?
Supposing 1 were to hear, shall
we say, that Denise is still alive?
Her hands twisted and turned
in her lap.He wouldn’t of course
He couldn't! She didn't really
think for a moment that Denise
was still alive. It was only that
she wasn’t quite certain, that
there was the horrible underly
ing doubt.
“After all, Toddy Schenck
should know if anyone does. Mind
you. He may he able to tell me
that she isn’t, in which case you
needn’t worry any longer. Fun
ny if old Toddy met your hus
band. That’s something we ought,
to prevent at any cost. Imagine
if your husband were to hear
that he and Denise had made a
bolt of it together. Still there’s
no reason why he should, is there
Don't look so alarmed. i non i
like to see you looking so worried
'Tin sorry. I won't again. I
was really only teasing you.
Come along, let's get hold of a
newspaper and see it' there's any
good pictures. I’m afraid it's a
bit late for a show, but if you
feel like a movie . . ."
She didn't. She felt like walk
ing out on him right at that mo
ment. She longed above all else
never to huVe to see him again.
But an uneasy fear told her it
might be policy to hide her true
feelings.
A waiter brought them a Pn
per. Jerry was running his fin
eer down the list of films.
“There’s a new Walt Disney at
the Carlton that’s been verv well
reviewed. How about that?"
“I don't reallv think there's
time. I'm due back at the station
at six."
“That will be all right. We
needn't sec it all through I'll see
you’re not late."' He signaled for
his bill as he spoke and they
emerged from the subdued light
of the restaurant into the brilli
ance of the afternoon sunshine.
The doorman called a' tayi for
them and Cherry got Is. As she
sat down she suddenly saw a man
standine on the opposite pave
I ment. It was Simon. He stnred
ft her with obvious amazement.
' Her heart stonped. She wanted
i to lean from the cab, to rush ov
[er to him and try to explain. But
jat thiD —oment Jerry sat down
beside ' nnd they began to
| drive r •• She looked out of the
i little window at the back of the
I taxi to see 'Simon still standing
| looking fixedly after her.
Jerry had seen Simon, too. He
glanced sidelong at Cherry. "Well
if that isn’t iust too bad!"
Cherry stared straight before
her. Tears stung her eyes. Her
throat felt drv and parched. She
felt an arm glide round her waist
She flung away from it, turning
on Jerry furiously. “I wish I
hadn’t met you today. I was a I
tool. I didn’t foully want to.“
v 'ilili rod riusn rose in V.is
cheeks. “Hull, i’m clashed! What
way to turn on a tollow!" The's
1 is tom- changed, a eonciliutoi>
note coming into it. “Have a
heart, Cherry. It wasn’t my fault
we came out of that confounded
lestaurant at the wrong naum n
It’s just one of those unfortunate'
things that sometimes happen, j
But the world won’t come to an j
Cherry felt at the moment it i
already had. She’d destroyed Si
mon’s confidence in her and that
was more important than any
thing else. Without it no marriage
could he happy. “I wish I had not
met you,“ she repeated distrac
tedly.
Jerry laughed shortly. “Flat
tering, aren’t you? What have I
done to you? I’\e behaved darn
ed decently. Here, let me dry
those* tears. Gosh, what a sVy
girl it is!” Again he would have
put his arm around her again slie
tiung awuv lrom him. She leaned
forward and tapped the window
motioning ;o the diivci to stop.
“Here, what’s all this?1* asked
Jerry • hortly.
‘'I’m sorry, Jerry. I cion't wunt
to go to the pictures with you."
The taxi was drawing into
the curb. Jerry's face was ugly
with its resentment tool anger.
"Vmi mean you’re walking out
on me?"
“'Yes, if you choose to put it j
■ ike thut. I want to see if I can
catch .Simon before he goes into '
his office. 1 must have a word I
with him."
Jo. fry laughei; sardonically.
ou know, I'm beginning to
wonder why I wasted even one
lum h time with you. I wouldn't
have had 1 known you were only
meet in" me for what you could,
tret out of me."
“I'm sorry Jerry."
"The devil you are! It's writ- i
ten nil over von. A1 rip-tit out you
pet! If Toddv Schenck tells me
Denise is still alive I’ll send you
a postcard. It’ll look well coming
that way, won’t it! People always
read postcards. Maybe that pre
cious husband of-yours will see il
before he hands it to you."
The taxi driver looked at
Cherry uncertainly, wondering
what had happened. It vva- ra.h
er strange to pick up a man and |
a girl at a restaurant, he told to i
drive to a theatre, and have the!
girl get out half way down Shaf-1
tesbury Avenue.
Another taxi was slowly pass
ing. She stopped the man and
.jumped in. "Charles Stree';.
“\ery good, .Miss.
She haj never heen to Simons 1
office, and wouldn't dream of,
actually presenting herself there.'
So she loitered in the shadow)
of a- doorway, watching- for him.
Then her heart pave a leap. He
\\<ts crossing- the street now. On- '
lv he looked so different — not!
the kindly, friendly Simon she
knew and loved so well. This1
man's face was white and set. lie I
waked alone looking neither to)
the right nor left.
A «oh rose in her throat. She |
moved forward, not even its she -
did so,- a man walking dose be- ,
hind Simon, overtook him. Ai
man in uniform with a unite ter- j
rifving amount of gold hraid. |
She heard him sav “Hello, I.indon j
you look nre'iv e-rim. War petting'
