SYNOPSIS
Anne Ordway, nineteen, is afraid of
marriage, of love. Her parents, Fran
cis and Elinor, are divorced and the
bottom drops
She does not
Brook's, whom
life. She goes
panion, Vicky, in her farm home.
Charles Patterson, whose wife, Mar
got has brought sensational charges
•against him, in a divorce suit, is in
love with her. Anne has just decided
that perhaps she will marry Charles
When Garry, just returned from Eur
ope, comes to see her, He is jealous
of Charles. "Is he making love to
* you?” Garry demands.
* * * * *
He said again, roughly, "He shan’t
have you. No man shall have you but
me.” He caught her to him and kiss
ed her.
Anne, tearing herself from Garry’s
arms, turned and saw Charles, He
was looking past her to Garry. "Will
you tell me,” he said in an even tone,
■"why you did a thing like that?”
Garry faced him defiantly, "Because
she told me things were over between
us. But they’re not. She’s mine. I’ll
prove it some day.”
"She is not yours. Did you tell hint
Anne, that you are to be my wife?”
Anne’s world went whirling. The
wide sky and the wide ocean seemed
to sway and rise as if to engulf her
. before she found her voice to say, "I
—I am going to marry him, Garry.”
"You mean you—love him?”
"Yes.”
Garry lost control of himself com
pletely. "Well, if you want him, you
can have him. But I’ll tell you this—
Tve got something to give you that
he has’nt. I’ve got a first love and a
name that hasn’t been dragged
through the courts.”
Charles took a step toward him. “In
the old days I would h’ave demanded
satisfaction of you for that, or have
been called a coward. But today we
are more civilized. We know that the
coward is one who twists the truth
to further his own ends.”
"You mean I am lying?”
"I mean that I can offer more than
■you can offer, and you know it.”
Garry’s fists were clenched, but this
was not the moment to fight.
He said to Anne, "You’ll be sorry.
And you won’t be happy.”
“You .can’t know that, Garry.”
“I know you better than you know
yourself. Patterson has another wife,
and even if the courts have set him
free she’ll always be a ghost rising up
between you.”
Anne said, "Please go, Garry.”
He went, driving furiously.
When they were alone Charles said
"He told me the truth, Anne. I had
mo right to come to you.”
"You had every right. Don’t let
Garry spoil our day, darling.”
His face was lighted. "You can call
, me that?”
"Why not, if I’m going to marry
you ?”
“I had to say that to stop Garry.
But it wasn’t the way I had planned j
-to propose to you.”
"How had you planned?”
"I was going to wait until every
one was gone and we were alone with
the sea and the sky.”
"We are alone now. Vicky has

gone off with the children
caught her breath. “Tell me now. Tell
me!”
He had her in his arms. "You know
all without my telling,"
“But I want to hear you say it,”
He said it again and again until
the afternoon waned and the sun went
down and the flame of the afterglow
was gold and .red. “Tomorrow’s pro
mise,” Charles whispered, “for clear
skies and quiet seas. Shall we call it
an omen, dear heart, for our future?”
Tomorrow’s promise? Clear skies?
Or storms? Anne clung to her lover.
Whichever came, she was his—forev
er. .
Garry, meeting Margot at a dinner
party in Washington on her return
from London, said, “Your ex-husband
js to marry Anne Ordway.”
“Marry her?”
“Yes.”
''’‘How do you know?”
“I heard it from her own lips, and
I saw him with her. He’s quite mad
about her.sat down on a rustic
"And you mean to let him have
her?”
"I can’t snatch her from the altar,
can I? It isn’t done in these days.”
Margot laughed and shrugged her
shoulders. “Let’s dance,” she said.
The room in which they danced was
panelled with long mirrors, and Mar
got could see herself in Garry’s arms,
his dark head only a few inches above
her own. Once upon a time Charles’
blond head had towered high above
her, and she had gloried in his
strength and good looks. She wond
ered why she had ever let him go out
of her life. No other man could match
him. She had found
to escape Bart.
And now he was
Anne Ordway!
“When?” was the
to Garry.
“No one seems to know. Soon, I
fancy.”
"Where is she now?”
“On the Eastern Shore, with
Vicky.”
When supper was served, Margot
sat at a little table with Garry, think
ing. She was going to fight Anne
Ordway for the possession of her lov
er. It would be a fight to the finish
and she would win.
The next morning she drove her
roadster to Annapolis and took the
ferry across the bay. It was raining
a little as she followed the road to
the Hewitt farm, and the wind blew
cool, But Margot eared nothing for
wind and weather, As she went along
she rehearsed what she was to say to
Anne, If she lied a little, what harm?
S^ie found Anne away. The colored
maid who answered the door said
they were expecting her at any mo
ment. She had gone to Baltimore ear
ly that morning, The rest of the fam
ily was also away. A reunion on
somebody's birthday.
Margot was glad that fate was
playing into her hands. She would
wait for Anne and see her alone. She
sat on the porch and the maid brought
her lemonade and crisp cookies.
The shadows lengthened and still
Anne did not come. She had gone to
Baltimore because of a letter from
her mother. It had arrived on the
preceding day, and when she had read
it she had gone at once to Vicky. "It’s
about herself and David.”
Vicky, in the garden cutting roses
for the table,
bench and motioned Anne to sit be
side her. “Read it to me, my darling.”
Elinor had covered several pages
with a sprawling script. ,
“My darling child:
“In a few weeks I shall <be free to
marry David, But David is in financ
ial straits and it makes things diffi
cult. Your father has a mortgage on
’his property, and David is so proud
that he has resolved to sell and pay
off the mortgage.
“This means, my dear, that when
we marry, David and I will have no
roof over our heads, and that if we
live on his income, we must go abroad
to live decently,
“I have written your father and told
him that But he is hard. He says
that I wanted to go with David, and
so he gave me my freedom. But he
will not finance us. And, indeed, I
am afraid David would not let me take
anything your father might offer.
"But David need never know, if
your father gave me an allowance,
that it was not my own. And what I
want you to do is to go to Francis
ask him. He will do anything for you.
And I am your mother, Anne. Oh, I
know what you think of me, But I
want to be happy and I’ll be happy
with David.”
When she had finished reading ’
Antie said, "I have decided to ask
Daddy, Vicky. But I want you to tell
me whether you think I’m right or
wrong.
“You must tell me first what made
you decide to ask your father?’
"Because if Mother is poor, she’ll
make David unhappy.”
Perhaps he deserves to be unhap-
I’m not sure. Somehow I feel that
David is different from mother, He
loves her dearly, but he wouldn’t have
taken her because of his friendship for
Daddy. But she made him,”
Such' dreadful wisdom for one so
young! Yet Anne was right. David
had done' high-mindedly what Elinor
had done falsely and unfairly.
"But she will, go to him with a lie
on her lips,” Vicky said.
“No. Daddy must tell him that
Mother can’t be happy without mon
ey. I think he will do it.”
Vicky said, “I wish, you could keep
out of it.”
“So do I, but I can’t. I shall tele
phone Daddy and go up tomorrow
morning if he can see me.”
Francis could and would. He was
delighted. Anne must lunch with him.
He was completely at her service for
the day.
Anne, breakfasting early with the
Hewitt family, was aware more than
ever of the interdependence’ and co
operation of its members.
“If Charles and I have children,”
Anne told herself, “they shall live like
this.” It would be wonderful, she
thought, ’to be a mother like Mrs.
Hewitt. She had never thought it
would be wonderful to be like Elinor.
Francis, welcoming his daughter
.with open arms, drove her to the
country club, where he ordered a lav
ish luncheon for her, but limited him
self to a green salad and a glass of
dry sherry. “I am trying to drop ten
pounds,” he told her.
Anne, who had been somewhat
softened, by his welcome, hardened
her heart. She was sorry he had no
home, no wife, no child, but she won
dered whether he really suffered for
lack of these things or whether he
weighed them in the balance with his
diet, his club, his bank account, and
found them wanting.
Francis, as he talked to her, was
aware of her hardness. It added in a
way to his- regard for her. If Anne
had wept in his arms she would have
seemed to him something less than
she was. “She is what she is by the
grac-e of God,” he reflected. “She
loves me, but she hates the things I’ve
done. And I’m glad that she hates
them.”
So when Anne came to hgr plea for
her mother he was ready -to listen.
Anne minced no words. “I want
you to talk to David.”
“My dear child!”
“It’s the only way to be honest.”
"In the old days we would have
shot each other at dawn.”
“Why should you shoot him? I
think he is fond of you, Daddy.”
He stared at her. “How can he be,
and steal my wife?”
“He didn’t steal her. She went."
And Francis knew that it was true.
Elinor had been the moving spirit and
David, gallant, and unhappy, had been
unwilling to let her down.
