Miriam gazed on the ussarimcnt of cnbin trunks, suit cows, and "M UOXPS. Each one seemed to represent her life and its \‘:li'lOlls‘ PIIWPS- Th0 very large, (lilaplziutcd trunk was reminiscent of the trip to America with I.£\vis; the suit cases reminded her of‘ week-ends spent at country houses doing ihL‘ things one hated, and hating the people who lnsbtvd on their being done! Dcliberaiely, she averted her gaze a second before glancing at the newest trunk cf all. That trunk spelt the beginning of u new life; a life that laughed and mock. ed the old one as surely as it had promised happiness and romance.

Mirlnnfs thoughts were just as jumbled up as her luggage. Less than a fortnight ago she had wat- ched her daughter's possessions piIﬂl on the floor in very much the some way. Now there was nothing left to keep her from going away

many years.

Miriam caught n glimpse of her- self in the chcval gloss. Thirty- six! Wit-h a daughter of eighteen, now nlah-icd! was it posdblc? She wr-ut close to the mirror and gazed cr.iically' inio it She know that she didn't look much more than tweni-ywclcllt. Her hnlr was still the colour of beech leaves in the sun; her eyes were blight and glowing. She sighed. Like her daughter. she. too, hnd married at eighteen.

He gave her a steady scrutiny.

“You're so terrbly young." he aid irzclevantly.

she stared at him aghast.

"What an extraordinary thing to say," she slid, “I'm thirty-three and have a daughter of nearly 15!"

“I didn't mean in years," he an- swered enlgmatlcally.

That was three years ago! To Miriam it had been a time of con- stant upheaval. Now it was all over. In less than an hour she

fect service. The newest one caugfht the glelm of the nun. but it didn't glow-it sighed because of the unfamiliar surroundings.

She knew it was absurd. 'I'hi.s was the new life she had dreamed about. She had escaped from the wearying routine of home as Lewis understood it. She was being given a chance to live as she had always thought she would like to live. And yet“.

Dinner was gay. There was an

tmosphere of celebration, After- wards, Alec took her around the

grounds, his arm through hers as though her belonging to him was the most natural thing in the world.

"In a little while," he whispered, “you'll belong to me. I love you. Miriam; I've wanted you so terrib- ly all these years."

She tried desperately to feel all that she had dreamed of feeling when this moment should come- this re-union; she wanted to re- capture the glamour of her ﬁrst meeting with Alec. She lookrll up info his face. He wns lmndolnelnl a digniﬁed, impressive way: s. man ‘ whom women would like instinct- ively.

He said gently:

“Don't worry, Miriam," and put- fed her nrm. "I can arrange ev-I erything so that there is nothing to ‘ trouble you. You trust me, dnr-K ling?" g

She locked at him gratefully:

Words were unnecessary. Then she said, slowly:

In the morning she told Alec the truth. Ho accepted it without question or recrlmination; it was as though he, too. knew that something was missing and he was wise en- ough to realise that nothing could be done.

Miriam left the Steen house aday or two later. She left as a friend. Fkom there she went to s. hotel. For the ﬁrst time in her life she knew the meaning of the word, loneliness-a. loneliness that was m agony of mind and body.

She tried to write to Betty, but found it impossible to constructthe right sentences. In. a few days she felt as though she had ceased t0 be a mother; ceased to be anything but a hollow shell.

She went to see her solicitors and arranged for Lewis to have his freedom. She learned that he was in Italy and was not expected back until the divorce proceedings were over.

"ls he travelling-alone?"

"No, Mrs. Hamilton," the solicitor

"Then our case will be simple." said Miriam, ﬁghting for control.
