And
yet
here
he
was
,
blanching
at
every
accidental
and
unintended
word
!
Why
,
if
he
were
put
to
any
real
test
--
an
officer
descending
on
him
unexpectedly
and
asking
him
where
he
had
been
yesterday
and
what
he
knew
of
Roberta
's
death
--
why
,
he
would
mumble
,
shiver
,
not
be
able
to
talk
,
maybe
--
and
so
give
his
whole
case
away
would
n't
he
!
He
must
brace
up
,
try
to
look
natural
,
happy
--
must
n't
he
--
for
this
first
day
at
least
.
Fortunately
in
the
speed
and
excitement
of
the
play
,
the
others
seemed
not
to
notice
the
startling
effect
of
the
remark
upon
him
,
and
he
managed
by
degrees
to
recover
his
outward
composure
.
Then
the
launch
approached
the
Casino
and
Sondra
,
wishing
to
execute
some
last
showy
stunt
,
jumped
up
and
catching
the
rail
pulled
herself
up
,
while
the
boat
rolled
past
only
to
reverse
later
.
And
Clyde
,
because
of
a
happy
smile
in
his
direction
,
was
seized
by
an
uncontrollable
desire
for
her
--
her
love
,
sympathy
,
generosity
,
courage
.
And
so
now
,
to
match
her
smiles
,
he
jumped
up
and
after
assisting
Jill
to
the
steps
,
quickly
climbed
up
after
her
,
pretending
a
gayety
and
enthusiasm
that
was
as
hollow
inwardly
as
outwardly
it
was
accurate
.
"
Gee
!
Some
athlete
you
are
!
"
And
then
on
the
links
a
little
later
with
her
,
and
under
her
guidance
and
direction
,
playing
as
successful
a
game
as
it
was
possible
with
his
little
experience
and
as
troubled
as
he
was
.
And
she
,
because
of
the
great
delight
of
having
him
all
to
herself
in
shadowy
hazards
where
they
might
kiss
and
embrace
,
beginning
to
tell
him
of
a
proposed
camping
trip
which
she
,
Frank
Harriet
,
Wynette
Phant
,
Burchard
Taylor
,
her
brother
Stuart
,
Grant
Cranston
and
Bertine
,
as
well
as
Harley
Baggott
,
Perley
Haynes
,
Jill
Trumbull
and
Violet
Taylor
,
had
been
organizing
for
a
week
,
and
which
was
to
begin
on
the
morrow
afternoon
,
with
a
motor
trip
thirty
miles
up
the
lake
and
then
forty
miles
east
to
a
lake
known
as
Bear
,
along
which
,
with
tents
and
equipment
,
they
were
to
canoe
to
certain
beaches
and
scenes
known
only
to
Harley
and
Frank
.
Different
days
,
different
points
.
The
boys
would
kill
squirrels
and
catch
fish
for
food
.
Also
there
would
be
moonlight
trips
to
an
inn
that
could
be
reached
by
boat
,
so
they
said
.
A
servant
or
two
or
three
from
different
homes
was
to
accompany
them
,
as
well
as
a
chaperon
or
two
.
But
,
oh
,
the
walks
in
the
woods
!
The
opportunities
for
love
--
canoe
trips
on
the
lake
--
hours
of
uninterrupted
love-making
for
at
least
a
week
!
In
spite
of
all
that
had
occurred
thus
far
to
give
him
pause
,
he
could
not
help
thinking
that
whatever
happened
,
was
it
not
best
to
go
?
How
wonderful
to
have
her
love
him
so
!
And
what
else
here
could
he
do
?
It
would
take
him
out
of
this
,
would
it
not
--
farther
and
farther
from
the
scene
of
the
--
of
the
--
accident
and
in
case
any
one
were
looking
for
any
one
who
looked
like
him
,
for
instance
--
well
,
he
would
not
be
around
where
he
could
be
seen
and
commented
upon
.
THOSE
THREE
MEN
.
Yet
,
as
it
now
instantly
occurred
to
him
,
under
no
circumstances
must
he
leave
here
without
first
finding
out
as
definitely
as
possible
whether
any
one
was
as
yet
suspected
.
And
once
at
the
Casino
,
and
for
the
moment
left
alone
,
he
learned
on
inquiring
at
the
news
stand
that
there
would
be
no
Albany
,
Utica
,
or
any
local
afternoon
paper
there
until
seven
or
seven-thirty
.
He
must
wait
until
then
to
know
.
And
so
although
after
the
lunch
there
was
swimming
and
dancing
,
then
a
return
to
the
Cranstons
with
Harley
Baggott
and
Bertine
--
Sondra
going
to
Pine
Point
,
with
an
agreement
to
meet
him
afterwards
at
the
Harriets
'
for
dinner
--
still
his
mind
was
on
the
business
of
getting
these
papers
at
the
first
possible
opportunity
.
Yet
unless
,
as
he
now
saw
,
he
was
so
fortunate
as
to
be
able
to
stop
on
his
way
from
the
Cranstons
'
to
the
Harriets
'
and
so
obtain
one
or
all
,
he
must
manage
to
come
over
to
this
Casino
in
the
morning
before
leaving
for
Bear
Lake
.
He
must
have
them
.
He
must
know
what
,
if
anything
,
was
either
being
said
or
done
so
far
in
regard
to
that
drowned
couple
.
But
on
his
way
to
Harriets
'
he
was
not
able
to
get
the
papers
.
They
had
not
come
.
And
none
at
the
Harriets
'
either
,
when
he
first
arrived
.
Yet
sitting
on
the
veranda
about
a
half
hour
later
,
talking
with
the
others
although
brooding
as
to
all
this
,
Sondra
herself
appeared
and
said
:
"
Oh
,
say
,
people
!
I
've
got
something
to
tell
you
.
Two
people
were
drowned
this
morning
or
yesterday
up
at
Big
Bittern
,
so
Blanche
Locke
was
telling
me
just
now
over
the
phone
.
She
's
up
at
Three
Mile
Bay
today
and
she
says
they
've
found
the
body
of
the
girl
but
not
the
man
yet
.
They
were
drowned
in
the
south
part
of
the
lake
somewhere
,
she
said
.
"
