ROBERTA
.
And
with
this
in
his
hands
,
he
was
finally
all
but
numbed
by
the
fact
that
now
decidedly
he
must
act
.
She
was
actually
coming
!
Unless
he
could
soothe
or
restrain
her
in
some
manner
she
would
be
here
to-morrow
--
the
second
.
And
yet
the
second
,
or
the
third
,
or
any
time
until
after
the
Fourth
,
was
no
time
to
leave
with
her
.
The
holiday
crowds
would
be
too
great
.
There
would
be
too
many
people
to
see
--
to
encounter
.
There
must
be
more
secrecy
.
He
must
have
at
least
a
little
more
time
in
which
to
get
ready
.
He
must
think
now
quickly
and
then
act
.
Great
God
!
Get
ready
.
Could
he
not
telephone
her
and
say
that
he
had
been
sick
or
so
worried
on
account
of
the
necessary
money
or
something
that
he
could
not
write
--
and
that
besides
his
uncle
had
sent
for
him
to
come
to
Greenwood
Lake
over
the
Fourth
.
His
uncle
!
His
uncle
!
No
,
that
would
not
do
.
He
had
used
his
name
too
much
,
what
difference
should
it
make
to
him
or
her
now
,
whether
he
saw
his
uncle
once
more
or
not
?
He
was
leaving
once
and
for
all
,
or
so
he
had
been
telling
her
,
on
her
account
,
was
he
not
?
And
so
he
had
better
say
that
he
was
going
to
his
uncle
,
in
order
to
give
a
reason
why
he
was
going
away
so
that
,
possibly
,
he
might
be
able
to
return
in
a
year
or
so
.
She
might
believe
that
.
At
any
rate
he
must
tell
her
something
that
would
quiet
her
until
after
the
Fourth
--
make
her
stay
up
there
until
at
least
he
could
perfect
some
plan
--
bring
himself
to
the
place
where
he
could
do
one
thing
or
the
other
.
One
thing
or
the
other
.
Without
pausing
to
plan
anything
more
than
just
this
at
this
time
,
he
hurried
to
the
nearest
telephone
where
he
was
least
likely
to
be
overheard
.
And
,
getting
her
once
more
,
began
one
of
those
long
and
evasive
and
,
in
this
instance
,
ingratiating
explanations
which
eventually
,
after
he
had
insisted
that
he
had
actually
been
sick
--
confined
to
his
room
with
a
fever
and
hence
not
able
to
get
to
a
telephone
--
and
because
,
as
he
now
said
,
he
had
finally
decided
that
it
would
be
best
if
he
were
to
make
some
explanation
to
his
uncle
,
so
that
he
might
return
some
time
in
the
future
,
if
necessary
--
he
,
by
using
the
most
pleading
,
if
not
actually
affectionate
,
tones
and
asking
her
to
consider
what
a
state
he
had
been
in
,
too
,
was
able
not
only
to
make
her
believe
that
there
was
some
excuse
for
his
delay
and
silence
,
but
also
to
introduce
the
plan
that
he
now
had
in
mind
;
which
was
if
only
she
could
wait
until
the
sixth
,
then
assuredly
,
without
fail
as
to
any
particular
,
he
would
meet
her
at
any
place
she
would
choose
to
come
--
Homer
,
Fonda
,
Lycurgus
,
Little
Falls
--
only
since
they
were
trying
to
keep
everything
so
secret
,
he
would
suggest
that
she
come
to
Fonda
on
the
morning
of
the
sixth
in
order
to
make
the
noon
train
for
Utica
.
There
they
could
spend
the
night
since
they
could
not
very
well
discuss
and
decide
on
their
plans
over
the
telephone
,
now
,
and
then
they
could
act
upon
whatever
they
had
decided
.
Besides
he
could
tell
her
better
then
just
how
he
thought
they
ought
to
do
.
He
had
an
idea
--
a
little
trip
maybe
,
somewhere
before
they
got
married
or
after
,
just
as
she
wished
,
but
--
something
nice
anyhow
--
(
his
voice
grew
husky
and
his
knees
and
hands
shook
slightly
as
he
said
this
,
only
Roberta
could
not
detect
the
sudden
perturbation
within
him
)
.
But
she
must
not
ask
him
now
.
He
could
not
tell
her
over
the
phone
.
But
as
sure
as
anything
,
at
noon
on
the
sixth
,
he
would
be
on
the
station
platform
at
Fonda
.
All
she
had
to
do
after
seeing
him
was
to
buy
her
ticket
to
Utica
and
get
in
one
coach
,
and
he
would
buy
his
separately
and
get
in
another
--
the
one
just
ahead
or
behind
hers
.
On
the
way
down
,
if
she
did
n't
see
him
at
the
station
beforehand
,
he
would
pass
through
her
car
for
a
drink
so
that
she
could
see
that
he
was
there
--
no
more
than
that
--
but
she
must
n't
speak
to
him
.
Then
once
in
Utica
,
she
should
check
her
bag
and
he
would
follow
her
out
to
the
nearest
quiet
corner
.
After
that
he
would
go
and
get
her
bag
,
and
then
they
could
go
to
some
little
hotel
and
he
would
take
care
of
all
the
rest
.
But
she
must
do
this
.
Would
she
have
that
much
faith
in
him
?
If
so
,
he
would
call
her
up
on
the
third
--
the
very
next
day
--
and
on
the
morning
of
the
sixth
--
sure
,
so
that
both
he
and
she
would
know
that
everything
was
all
right
--
that
she
was
starting
and
that
he
would
be
there
.
What
was
that
?
Her
trunk
?
The
little
one
?
Sure
.
If
she
needed
it
,
certainly
bring
it
.
Only
,
if
he
were
she
,
he
would
not
trouble
to
try
to
bring
too
much
now
,
because
once
she
was
settled
somewhere
,
it
would
be
easy
enough
to
send
for
anything
else
that
she
really
needed
.
As
Clyde
stood
at
the
telephone
in
a
small
outlying
drug
store
and
talked
--
the
lonely
proprietor
buried
in
a
silly
romance
among
his
pots
and
phials
at
the
back
--
it
seemed
as
though
the
Giant
Efrit
that
had
previously
materialized
in
the
silent
halls
of
his
brain
,
was
once
more
here
at
his
elbow
--
that
he
himself
,
cold
and
numb
and
fearsome
,
was
being
talked
through
--
not
actually
talking
himself
.
Go
to
the
lake

you
visited

Sondra
