Cherry' admits she has been in love with !Simon, Denise asks • her to stay and, greet, her husband • with the bad news. Denise ahrugged her shoulders. "'Welt someone's got to tell him. Of Course prmaie .thinks. I'm going_ awa for a few days' holiday. Unfortum ate it has• to be just as amen _com- ing honie: But there, these things happen." - Cherry. felt sick at •heart at the sound of Denise's light yelps. That any woman should leave Simon . , "Thank heaven there are no "Yes, that's as well, isn't it?" De- nise was putting on her jacket. "The more I think about it the more con- vinced I am that it's a pity you didn't marry Sinaoa." "13e quiet. .Be quiet!" All Cher- ry's ;emotion, pent, up since that dreadful day when Denise had step- ped,lightly ii.aid taken Simon from her, now found an ontiet. - • 'alle was just beginning "t� fall in love with me when you came along, I wasn't wrong in thinking that. girl always knows. And 'then he' met you. From that clay I ceased to count; You dazzled him •by your beauty, by your charmph, you can be very Charming when you like. I'll give you Your due there." She broke off. There were tears. threatening now. She turned, went blindly into the sitting -room, closing the door behind hen. Cherry looked out to the street be- ],ow.with unseeing eyes, hating her- self now for that sudden outburst. It had done no good. Really it ,was no- thing to her what Denise did with her life, and it wasn't for her to fight Simon's battles. She thought of him new on his Way back to England; landing at Bristol airport, catching! thefirst train to London, rushing to the apartment to find Denise. - instead . . . • She heard •Denise moving about in her room, closing her wardrobe doors, calling sharply, "Would you ring for a taxi, Connie?" Now she was in the hall saying a curt goodbye. The porter was tak- ing her luggage. • Then' the front door banged and there was silence. • She sat .down heavily in an arm- chair, wondering what to do now. , Then suddenly all thought was driv- en from• her Mind .for .there was .a sharp, ring dt the front doorbell. She kiier, for a•Certainty that it was Sim- on. No one else would be in such a, berry togain admittance. -"I'll go; Connie." She opened the door and stood •smiling at him. "Cherry Pie!" It ..was .8imon's petname for her. H2'd never. called her anything else from the first day they'd met. "Cher- ry Pyecroft?..But all your friends call you Cherry Pie, of course?" They hadn't, as' it happened no one else had ever •thoeght of it. "Oh Simon, it's grand to see you." "it's grand to see ,you.too, my deer. But -where's Denise? Didn't -sheget- my cable?" Cherry drew a swift breath. "Yes, sbe-she's' gone to Bristol," This at least was true. Only not the way he was taking It. "011, Lord!" His face fell. "I neverthought of that. I suppose she guessed that's where my plane Would arrive and she has gone to meet me." "Yes." Had she really said that,?.. Some- one had spoken and it hadn't been Connie' who was/hovering in the baUlt- grOuncl.. Oh, this was cowardly. He had to be told the truth., so Why not get It over quickly? But this ,was hardly the moment. She ran quickiy on, her words tumblingover one an- other, "You must be tired after so much travelling. What's the time? tI's too late, isn't It, for tea? Shall I get you a drink?" Kippen , Hensall ,' Exeter London,,, Ar. SUNDAY ONLY • 3.53 4.10 • Toronto' to Goderich -• (Vii-Loridonand Clinton) P.M. 6.00 9.40 11.55 12.20 'Toronto, Lv.
