CHAPTER. THREE

That night. as he sat in his study correcting English papers. his mind informed him with more force than respect that this wait. log for precisely the right occa- sion was nonsense. He set himself to think of a time at once. tomor-

” row, to get this small matter over

with. It would be easiest to make an occasion in her classroom at the primary school. The regular routine of his supervising took him there once in so often. He would arrive near the end of the afternoon session. and stay on af- ter the children had gone. '

Yet, when the next afternoon he stood beside the teacher's desk, his mouth was unexpectedly dry as he said, ''I feel a little tired. Miss Barney, after my round of visits. I believe I'll just sit here for a moment after you have 'dis- missed the class."

Alarlnlngly young she seemed to the young man who sat wait- ing for his voice to come under his control and who knew well how fatigue added years to his own as- pect.I-le had been mad to con- sider laying i such callow untried hands the poential dynamite he had brought with him. He was to do, what was safe to do. He wait- ed. '

The silence and the softly dusty sunlight lay like an amber pool around the feet of the man walt- ing to feel surer of himself. The young teacher gave a small yawn, and looked-apologetlcally at the visitor to see if he had noticed it. Absurd that this should give him the reassurance he needed. With- out bringing the front legs of his chair to the floor, his head still tipped back against the wall, he heard his voice, natural. unhurri- ed, unemphatic, just as he would have had it, begin to explain to Susan Barney his real reason for what had looked to her like kind- ness to old Mrs. washburn.

She sat up. she laid both hands flat on her desk, she leaned for-

she said nothing at first. when she finally perceived that he had finished. she exclaimed, . "I never heard anything so interesting in all my liiel"

He dropped the front legs of his chair to the floor with -a click. "In- teruting?"

"Why. you could do that to any- body," she said eagerly. And lean- ing forward asked, "Did you ever do it for anybody -but Mrs. Wash- burn?"

"Oh. Lord, yes!" the dangerous confession came without his know- ing it.

She sprang up, stepped around the table, sat down near his chair on the edge of the low platform, doubling up flexibly like a. child. and asked in a low. can- fidential tone, "Did you ever fig-

ure M155 Peck out that way?" The answer to that particular question involved nothing mali-

cious. And he remembered that Miss Peck, looming large in the girl's life Just now, probably was the blankest of enigmae to her "When I came to Clifford twenty- two years ago," he began in a tone of leisurely narrative, "Mia: Peck was living with her father. Her mother died when she was a lit- tle girl. Youwe perhaps heard

older Clifford people talk about Lawyer Peck."

She nodded.

"A good many people here

thought he was clever because he was malicious. Well, clever or not, Lawyer Peck had had a chance to begin making his daughter look ridiculous while she was still a lttlc girl with nobody to stand up for her.

"She was handsome in a massive sort of way. She looked like, well, like a Roman empress. and she acted like a dumb little girl that's just been scolded-dropping things. doing everything wrong, twisting her fingers. Honestly, I took her to be subnormal mentally.

"Well, old Lawyer Peck did the one kind thing of his life. He died before he had quite wrung his daughter's neck, and he left her no money-not a penny. Only the house. she began to lake in board- ers. she had to do something. It was the saving of her. She found she could cook. and shes cooked her way back to life. For she's alive now, all right. The wounds her father gave her have healed over. Lois,of scars left, of course. What everybody calls her queer ways are the scars."

He was silent.

Mllirmuring low as if not to break the thread, the girl said. "I feel as of in never seen Miss Peck be- fore." and waited for him to go on.

His only comment was, "Do you know, I've come to think that Miss Peck is one of the most intelli- gent people in town? Probably always was."

The girl's wide eyes gazed :dreamily through him at the new- ly discovered Miss Peck. "It sort of takes my breath away," she said in an undertone. A change came into her face. "I wish you cuoq raisin ftuylno arnfli; plnoo this way. It'd help us both such a lotto know whether she should go to college, or Just nor- mal school."

He was abashed. and answered in confusion. "Fm afraid there's very little that's reliable to be done about figuring out young people. The point is, don't you see, that when everything has hap- pened to a person that's going to -an older person like Mrs. Wash- burn . . . "

She got up from her child's graceful crouch on the low plat- form, walked around the desk, sat down in her teacher's chair again, placed her clasped hands on the desk before her in the teacher's pose. "You didn't understand what I was trying to say that evening, Mr. I-Iulme." she said earnestly. "It wasn't just only Mrs. Wash- burn I- was. thinkling about . . ."

He tried to help her out. "I kriow. I know. You did make me under- stand. You had a moment of gen. crous happiness when you thought there was some real kindness in the world, more than you'd . , , "
