Clarice Day, who dances at the
Emerald Dragon. lie takes Mary

Overhearing Brynmor's conver
sation, Mary Lou hears him
rail her “too darn nice." Police
raid the club, and Mary Lou
escapes with Tony Tithcrington,
a stranger with whom she has
been dancing. Jumping through
a window into Tony’s flat, she
lands in a bath tub full of
water. Tony persuades her to
don his pyjamas and bathrobe
while he/ clothes dry. She tells
Tony how she believed in Bryn
mor's love, and resolves to have
'a good time in London despite
him. Tony asks her how she
intends to do it, and Mary Lou
says she doesn’t know.
Chapter 4
A SCHEME IS HATCHED
“Look here," Tony said present
ly. "I’d like to help you. If I take
you about, show you the sights, in
troduce you to some pals of mine
who are good sports, will you do
something for me?"
"If I could go back to Frinwood
a fool.
“You mean that most girls—
wouldn't be afraid?" she asked.
"Afraid of what?” Tony grinned.
‘Show me the modern girl who is
genuinely afraid of any mere man.’
Mary Lou laughed, too. She
couldn’t help it. Her laughter clear
ed the air. Her eyes rested on the
clock on the mantel shelf.
"Heavens!" she exclaimed. “It's
four o'clock. Jay will be having a
fit. She’ll think I'm dead or some
thing.”
"Who is Jay?”
“She's my cousin. I'm staying
with her. She and her husband
have a studio in Chelsea. What will
she think?”
“Give her a ring,” suggested
I Tony. “Explain what’s happened.”
“It's awfully late. I hate to dis
turb her."
"Well, if she's having a fit, she
won't be asleep,” Tony pointed out.
"Here's the jolly old phone book."
A sleepy voice answered Mary
Lou’s call.
j “Jay? It's Mary Lou."
[ Jay evidently was struggling to
| become awake.
“Where are you, child?”
‘‘In—in Mr.—" Mary Lou sud
' denly remembered she didn't even
1 know Tony’s other name. “In a
1 man’s flat."
"What arc you doing there?”
"Waiting for my clothes to dry.
‘ I fell into the bath tub.”
) "How did you fall into the bath?
Mary Lou explained
her predicament to
Jay »/ver the phone.
feeling I'd had a really good time,
all that I expected and more, I—
I think I'd do anything!” Mary Lou
replied.
"It isn't so bad as that,” Tony \
grinned. “I merely want to take j
you to Surrey to introduce you to
my aunt."
Mary Lou was amazed. ‘‘Why?"
Tony shook a finger at her. "AH
in good time. Suffice that when
you meet Aunt Ethelberta, I want
you to behave just as you do in—
whatever is the name of the god
forsaken place you come from,
child?”
•Prinwood.”
"Well, just as you behave in
Frinwood at a vicarage tea.”
Mary Lou stared at him. "Must
I behave like that all the time?"
‘ Of course not,” he smiled. “Only
when Aunt Ethelberta’s there.
With me you can be just as mod
ern as you please.”
“I intend to be,” she told him.
‘ But—how can I begin?"
Tony smothered a yawn.
“Suppose you begin by spending
the night here in my flat?" he
suggested. “These clothes of yours
show no signs of drying. You can
curl up on that sofa.”
“I couldn’t possibly do that."
There was horror in her voice.
' “Well, you can have my bed, since
you’re so fussy,” he told her. "I
guess I can manage on the couch.”
“Oh, I couldn’t stay here any
how,” she insisted.
Tony blinked at her sleepily.
“Why not? It’s the sensible thing
to do.”
“I_i don’t know,” she faltered.
Bhe glanced nervously toward the
door.
Tony laughed aloud. Great
Jupiter!”
flis laughter made Mary Lou feel
Were you tight?"
"Oh, no,” quickly. "I—I just
slipped in.”
"What are you wearing now?"
•His—his pyjamas and bathrobe."
She blushed.
"Ye gods," from Jay. “And I
thought I was ehtertaining a shy
country cousin! I shall have my
work cut out in the next few
weeks!”
Another pause, and Jay said
seriously, “Is he nice, child? You
know what I mean."
“Oh, ever so nice,” Mary Lou
said quickly. “He—he wants me to
stay the night here."
"I think I had better give him
the once-over," Jay said decisively.
"Get straight into a taxi, Mary
Lou. Never mind about putting oh
wet clothes. No one will notice
what you have on at this hour in
the morning. By the way, a pal of
yours called about an hour or so
ago, a tall, handsome fellow, with a
black eye. He seemed mighty upset
over your conduct tonight. I'll tell
you the rest when I 6ee you."
“That was Brynmor," Mary Lou
gasped. Her amazement was tem
pered by a certain pleasure that
Brynmor had bothered to call at
Jay’s flat. Could he have been so
bored with her, after all?
"Now, hurry home like a good
child,” said Jay. “I'll try to stay
awake until you get here.”
Tony didn't demur when Mary
Lou told him the outcome of the
conversation.
“I heard you giving me a good
character,” he grinned. She didn t
reply. They gathered her damp
clothes into a bundle, and Tony
called a cab.
"At any rate,” murmured Tony,
when they were almost to Chelsea,
“if you hadn’t fallen Into that bath
tub we wouldn't have reached our
agreement about my taking you to
impress Aunt Ethelberta. Here's
my card, the phone number’s on it.
Give me a ring when you get up.
But don't make it too early. May
be I'd better phone you instead.”
“Please do,” she said. The taxi
drew up, and he helped her out. It
was almost daylight.
“You may not be the latest word
n girls, Mary Lou,” Tony said
sleepily, “but I’ll say this for you.
You’re a good sport.”
She flushed. She stammered
something unintelligible, waved a
hasty cheerio and fled up the stairs
to Jay’s flat. Tony gazed after her
, a moment, then climbed back into
[the cab.
“Nice little thing,” was his in
ward comment. “And if she'll work
the trick with Aunt Ethelberta, I’ll
be her slave for life.”.
