"
I
am
safe
now
,
"
she
said
,
when
they
emerged
on
the
sidewalk
,
at
the
same
time
starting
to
take
her
hand
from
his
arm
.
"
No
,
no
,
I
ll
see
you
home
,
"
he
answered
.
"
No
,
please
don
t
,
"
she
objected
.
"
It
is
unnecessary
.

Again
she
started
to
remove
her
hand
.
He
felt
a
momentary
curiosity
.
Now
that
she
was
out
of
danger
she
was
afraid
.
She
was
in
almost
a
panic
to
be
quit
of
him
.
He
could
see
no
reason
for
it
and
attributed
it
to
her
nervousness
.
So
he
restrained
her
withdrawing
hand
and
started
to
walk
on
with
her
.
Halfway
down
the
block
,
he
saw
a
man
in
a
long
overcoat
shrink
back
into
a
doorway
.
He
shot
a
glance
in
as
he
passed
by
,
and
,
despite
the
high
turned
-
up
collar
,
he
was
certain
that
he
recognized
Ruth
s
brother
,
Norman
.
During
the
walk
Ruth
and
Martin
held
little
conversation
.
She
was
stunned
.
He
was
apathetic
.
Once
,
he
mentioned
that
he
was
going
away
,
back
to
the
South
Seas
,
and
,
once
,
she
asked
him
to
forgive
her
having
come
to
him
.
And
that
was
all
.
The
parting
at
her
door
was
conventional
.
They
shook
hands
,
said
good
night
,
and
he
lifted
his
hat
.
The
door
swung
shut
,
and
he
lighted
a
cigarette
and
turned
back
for
his
hotel
.
When
he
came
to
the
doorway
into
which
he
had
seen
Norman
shrink
,
he
stopped
and
looked
in
in
a
speculative
humor
.
"
She
lied
,
"
he
said
aloud
.
"
She
made
believe
to
me
that
she
had
dared
greatly
,
and
all
the
while
she
knew
the
brother
that
brought
her
was
waiting
to
take
her
back
.
"
He
burst
into
laughter
.
"
Oh
,
these
bourgeois
!
When
I
was
broke
,
I
was
not
fit
to
be
seen
with
his
sister
.
When
I
have
a
bank
account
,
he
brings
her
to
me
.

As
he
swung
on
his
heel
to
go
on
,
a
tramp
,
going
in
the
same
direction
,
begged
him
over
his
shoulder
.
"
Say
,
mister
,
can
you
give
me
a
quarter
to
get
a
bed
?
"
were
the
words
.
But
it
was
the
voice
that
made
Martin
turn
around
.
The
next
instant
he
had
Joe
by
the
hand
.
