She
did
not
want
to
see
Benny
.
She
was
supposed
to
call
him
to
pick
her
up
,
but
she
did
not
want
to
go
back
to
his
apartment
.
It
had
been
eight
weeks
since
she
left
her
house
in
Lexington
;
she
would
go
back
and
lick
her
wounds
for
a
while
.
Her
third
-
prize
money
from
Paris
had
been
surprisingly
good
;
she
could
afford
a
quick
round
trip
to
Lexington
.
And
there
were
still
papers
to
sign
with
her
lawyer
.
She
would
stay
a
week
and
then
come
back
and
go
on
studying
with
Benny
.
But
what
else
had
she
to
learn
from
him
?
Remembering
for
a
moment
all
the
work
she
had
done
readying
herself
for
Paris
,
she
felt
sick
again
.
With
an
effort
she
shook
it
off
.
The
main
thing
was
to
get
ready
for
Moscow
.
There
was
still
time
.
She
called
Benny
from
Kennedy
Airport
and
told
him
she
had
lost
the
final
game
,
that
Borgov
had
outplayed
her
.
Benny
was
sympathetic
but
a
little
distant
,
and
when
she
told
him
she
was
going
to
Kentucky
for
a
while
he
sounded
irritated
.
“
Don
’
t
quit
,
”
he
said
.
“
One
lost
game
doesn
’
t
prove
anything
.
”
“
I
’
m
not
quitting
,
”
she
said
.

In
the
pile
of
mail
waiting
for
her
at
home
were
several
letters
from
Michael
Chennault
,
the
lawyer
who
had
arranged
for
the
deed
to
the
house
.
It
seemed
there
was
some
kind
of
problem
;
she
did
not
yet
have
clear
title
or
something
.
Allston
Wheatley
was
creating
difficulty
.
Without
opening
the
rest
of
the
mail
she
went
to
the
phone
and
called
Chennault
’
s
office
.
The
first
thing
he
said
when
he
came
on
the
line
was
“
I
tried
to
get
you
three
times
yesterday
.
Where
’
ve
you
been
?
”
“
In
Paris
,
”
Beth
said
,
“
playing
chess
.
”
“
How
sweet
it
must
be
.
”
He
paused
.
“
It
’
s
Wheatley
.
He
doesn
’
t
want
to
sign
.
”
“
Sign
what
?
”
