He
had
fallen
in
love
with
the
Justine
he
saw
;
she
had
not
allowed
him
any
opportunity
to
suspect
the
sea
of
doubts
beneath
.
Those
only
Dane
suspected
--
no
,
knew
.
She
bent
forward
to
put
her
forehead
against
the
cool
bedside
table
,
tears
running
down
her
face
.
That
was
why
she
loved
Dane
so
,
of
course
.
Knowing
what
the
real
Justine
was
like
,
and
still
loving
her
.
Blood
helped
,
so
did
a
lifetime
of
shared
memories
,
problems
,
pains
,
joys
.
Whereas
Rain
was
a
stranger
,
not
committed
to
her
the
way
Dane
was
,
or
even
the
other
members
of
her
family
.
Nothing
obliged
him
to
love
her
.
She
sniffled
,
wiped
her
palm
around
her
face
,
shrugged
her
shoulders
and
began
the
difficult
business
of
pushing
her
trouble
back
into
some
corner
of
her
mind
where
it
could
lie
peacefully
,
unremembered
.
She
knew
she
could
do
it
;
she
had
spent
all
her
life
perfecting
the
technique
.
Only
it
meant
ceaseless
activity
,
continuous
absorption
in
things
outside
herself
.
She
reached
over
and
switched
on
the
bedside
lamp
.
One
of
the
Unks
must
have
delivered
the
letter
to
her
room
,
for
it
was
lying
on
the
bedside
table
,
a
pale-blue
air
letter
with
Queen
Elizabeth
in
its
upper
corner
.
"
Darling
Justine
,
"
wrote
Clyde
Daltinham-Roberts
,
"
Come
back
to
the
fold
,
you
're
needed
!
At
once
!
There
's
a
part
going
begging
in
the
new
season
's
repertoire
,
and
a
tiny
little
dicky-bird
told
me
you
just
might
want
it
.
Desdemona
,
darling
?
With
Marc
Simpson
as
your
Othello
?
Rehearsals
for
the
principals
start
next
week
,
if
you
're
interested
.
"
If
she
was
interested
!
Desdemona
!
Desdemona
in
London
!
And
with
Marc
Simpson
as
Othello
!
The
opportunity
of
a
lifetime
.
Her
mood
skyrocketed
to
a
point
where
the
scene
with
Rain
lost
significance
,
or
rather
assumed
a
different
significance
.
Perhaps
if
she
was
very
,
very
careful
she
might
be
able
to
keep
Rain
's
love
;
a
highly
acclaimed
,
successful
actress
was
too
busy
to
share
much
of
her
life
with
her
lovers
.
It
was
worth
a
try
.
If
he
looked
as
if
he
were
getting
too
close
to
the
truth
,
she
could
always
back
off
again
.
To
keep
Rain
in
her
life
,
but
especially
this
new
Rain
,
she
would
be
prepared
to
do
anything
save
strip
off
the
mask
.
In
the
meantime
,
news
like
this
deserved
some
sort
of
celebration
.
She
did
n't
feel
up
to
facing
Rain
yet
,
but
there
were
other
people
on
hand
to
share
her
triumph
.
So
she
put
on
her
shoes
,
walked
down
the
corridor
to
the
Unks
'
communal
sitting
room
,
and
when
Patsy
let
her
in
she
stood
with
arms
spread
wide
,
beaming
.
"
Break
out
the
beer
,
I
'm
going
to
be
Desdemona
!
"
she
announced
in
ringing
tones
.
For
a
moment
no
one
answered
,
then
Bob
said
warmly
,
"
That
's
nice
,
Justine
.
"
Her
pleasure
did
n't
evaporate
;
instead
it
built
up
to
an
uncontrollable
elation
.
Laughing
,
she
flopped
into
a
chair
and
stared
at
her
uncles
.
What
truly
lovely
men
they
were
!
Of
course
her
news
meant
nothing
to
them
!
They
did
n't
have
a
clue
who
Desdemona
was
.
If
she
had
come
to
tell
them
she
was
getting
married
,
Bob
's
answer
would
have
been
much
the
same
.
