CHAPTER IX
We had a wire from Paul the next
«day, saying that he was looking for
Lili, and another a few days later
saying that he had found Lili and
‘would be back with her the following
Monday. Lili, Lili—not a word about
Lady. .
Maggie had called the Eipper’s
apartment house and learned that she
hag left the day before Paul got her
letter. What her game was I couldn't
be sure. I had a hunch about it, but
I wasn’t saying anything to Lady. She
. ‘was going to be hard hit if it was
. ‘what feared. During the second week
of her stay the two Burdons phoned
‘her every day.
“They're lonely, and I've got to go
back to them,” she said. “I can’t give
my two Mats much except kindness,
but they’re not going to suffer for the
lack of that.” The following Saturday
Young Mat drove up from Baltimore
and took her back with him.
On Monday morning I was back on
the job again and glad of it. In the
afternoon, with many misgivings, I
went to the Grand Central to meet
the returned travelers. They were
late getting off the train, and when
I saw them at last they were in the
clear. They were still a hundred feet
away, but I said, “My God, she’s done
it.” Though she wasn’t touching him,
she walked as one who possessed this
man by her side.
Paul and I took her to her apart-
ment. As we were leaving, Paul put
his hands on her shoulders. “I'm de-
pending on you, Lili,” he said.
At the cottage that night he told
me the story—or at least the story
she’d told him. It seems she’d been
lonely and got to brooding because
she didn’t have much work here, and
decided suddenly to go to a small city,
where living expenses would be light,
and try her luck there. So she went
to Jefferson City. She'd been there
once (you bet she had!), and it was
the only place, outside of St. Louis
and New York, that she knew, She
drifted around the streets there for
awhile, but she didn’t like the place
couldn’t like any place,” Paul told me,
“so she decided to get out of it, but
she couldn't make up her mind where
to go. She wandered into the post-
office, and then remembered that she'd
A
“She seemed half-starved, sick with
loneliness, and sorry that she'd left
New York. She was glad to see me.
The look in her eyes got me, Auat
Carrie,” he said. “I thought, ‘if Franz
had lived, she wouldn't be skulking
around like a whipped dog.” She began
to brighten upas soon as she saw me.”
He lit a cigarette and began walk-
ing up and down. “And so,” he said,
“I brought her back. She needs me,
Aunt Carrie, and no one else does.”
I'd kept still as long as I could. “She
needs you!” I burst ont. “But what
about Lady?” y
“Lady?” He said it in that dull flat
voice because he was wretched about
her, and miserable and confused. I
understood that later when I'd had
time to think. But at the moment his
saying her name ‘as if he’d never
heard it before was the last straw. I
got to my feet and began walking up
and down close to him.
“You don’t seem to remember her,
Paul. Lady is the little girl you gave
a hand to down in Crebillon. She
went with you in the dark then, and
she’s loved and worshipped you ever
since. She's grown up now. She's a
dark young woman with eyes that are
dead these days except when one
man’s name is mentioned. She's a
young woman with a high head and a
high heart, and it's breaking for the
love that’s in it. You can hear ‘it
breaking when she laughs .
“No one needs you now, you say,
except Lili Eipper, Lady needs you
more than she’s ever needed you be-
fore. You could at least keep your-
self in the clear and be ready to go
all out for her if she has a chance
to get out of the mess you and your
precious Lili put her in.”
“But I've given my word, Aunt
Carrie,” he said. “Lili
it" that way.”

whole thing is for Lili to decide.”
“Lili!” My voice was rising and
my heels were pounding the floor.
“Do you know who Lili is? Do you
know that she’s served a two-year
prison term-that the criminal doctor
she was convicted with is still in
prison, and writing to her? That's
why she was in Jefferson City-to see
him!”

At any other time the look would
have shut me up, but nothing could
stop. me now. “Of course I did,” I
shouted at him. “Why not if that’s
the kind of woman she is?”
Paul sank wearily into a chair. “No
wonder she hates people-when they
go digging around in her life hunting
for things that will hurt her!”
“Paul,” I said, “you're a man, so
you couldn't be expected to know why
a woman fights to hold her family to-
gether. But never mind. We're fi-
nished now-the three that were going
to stand together, whatever happened,
against the world. Every-thing I've
hoped for—everything I thought we
were living for—is gone.”
He did then what any man does
when faced by a hysterical woman.
He got up and ram. “I'm going for a
walk,” he said. x
At that the last spark of my fury
flared up. I said to his bowed back
rushing out of the screen door, “You
can go to hell-and stay there for all
I care.”
