Heart stopped thudding af-

ditch. Turned to Kim, who's
learning to drive, and said
coolly, "Did you ' notice that

own wife answer! It seems -al-
most indecent or something, as
though you had a kept woman.
-But three or four hours lat-
er, after you've' got down to
fighting over finances., apolo-
gizing because you haven't got .
the storm windows on yet, and
promising that you're going to
help dim with her Latin,
things are right back to nor,
mal. .
And it's- difficult to prolong
that sinful feeling that you're
keeping a mistress when you
go to bed with a woman, and
there's a great lump of a
daughter sleeping on the floor,
an air mattress and a sleeping
bag, two feet from you.
That ' aic mattress allowed
me to deliver one of the last
great plans of my lifer I knew
thi: cute gal on.our 'staff had a
mattress. We talked about me
borrowing it. And the other
day, in the staff room, I asked,
in loud clear tones, "Miss S .. •
Could we get together on that
mattress?"
As all heads swung toward
us with fascination, I waited to
see whether she'd slug me, or
laugh. She laughed. So did the
others, but some of the old
ducks rather nervously.
My wife has a nice little
apartment, but one weekend in
it nearly drove me up the cur-
tains. There's. no place to hide
and read, or look at yourself in
the mirror, or cut your toe-
nails. Except the bathroom.
And you can only stay -in there
so long. At home; there are all
sorts of nooks. and crannies for
looking at your navel, or pick-
ing fluff. out of your belly-
button.
Well, 24 hours• of telling her
she could pass the year, if
she'd-: 'stop worrying. That's
like telling; Niagara i(cotild' be
a nice little trout stream if it
would .stop falling.
And home, with Kim driv-
.ing, and me twitching. And col-
umn to write and lessons to •
--prepare--and--Hallowe'.en• candy'
to ' be bought. And that fears -
.some washing machine still to
be tackled.
Think I'll. have a snort and
go to the coin laundry. �.
