NEIL REFUSES TO TELL BAB
WHERE HE IS GOING
CHAPTER LVII. -
That night Neil came ’n to dinner,
changed his clothes, and went out
without speaking, save when 1 asked
him why he was going out.
“Because I choose to,” he had said,
then deliberately closed the door of
his dressing room.
I was too proud to go to him and
try to coax him to remain with me;
too angry still to feel as hurt as I
otherwise should. But after he had
gone I would have given anything to
have called him back, and question
ed him. I would now have another
long, lonely evening alone. Then
came a thought— a clever one, I ima
gined: I would assure myself, that
Neil was not with Blanche Orton! I
would call her up, tell her I was
alone and ask her if she didn’t want
to go over to Lorraine’s and have a
game of bridge. I couldn’t quite
make myself ask her to my own
home, feeling as I did.
“Mrs. Orton is out,” it was a maid
who answered.
“When do you expect her in?”
“Not till late. She’s gone to a din
ner party. Who shall I tell her call
ed up?’
“Never mind, it doesn’t make any
difference. You don't know where
she went, do you?" the blood rush
ed to my face at the question, put to
a servant.
“No —I didn’t hear.”
I hung up. Fierce jealousy posses
sed me. Neil had came home, and
gone out dressed for the evening and,
because he was angry at me, would
tell me nothing of his plans. Blanche
Orton was also out for the evening.
They were very likely together, hav
ing a good time while I was sitting
alone twiddling my thumbs. It was
unbearable. I must do something to
stop it. —But what?
Blanche Orton had not loved her
invalid husband—at least no one be
lieved she did. I knew that not many
women, brilliant women of her type,
attractive, beautiful, rich went through
their lives without finding some man
whom they loved. Perhaps she loved
Neil, and that was the reason she
had nothing to give poor Orton?
I had a sudden, almost uncontroll
able desire to make trouble for
Blanche Orton. I wanted to fight her
with some weapon that would hurt
and maim her in her tenderest spot.
Nothing seemed then to count but
that it wasn’t Neil—-even though he
were faithless-—whom 1 wanted to
hurt, but her, the woman who had
tempted him.
Women are as a rule cruelly hard
toward each other. I was no excep
tion.
I was delighted when the telephone
jangled and Lorraine said that she
would run over for a chat. I bathed
my swollen eyes, and tried to obviate
all traces of the emotion through which
I had passed in the last 24 hours.
Lorraine was such a keen observer,
and so apt to talk, that one had to
be very careful what one said, and
how one looked when she was
around. Yet I liked her immensely.
“What do you think Blanche Or
ton did to-night?” she asked in her
impulsive fashion.
“I am sure I don't know.” I had
no slightest intention of letting Lor
raine know I had telephoned
Blanche.
“She has gone out with the fun
niest looking man. Such a common
looking fellow. I drove by her house
at just seven o'clock and they came
out and got into her car. He looked
up for the occasion. I can t see what
she finds in such creatures to inter
est her, Cave men, I should call
them. I should imagine from his
appearance and from that maid s de
scription that it was the same sort
she had at her dinner* party that
night. Queer taste, to say Che least.”
Lorrraine could not know how' re
lieved I was at her gossip. Mrs. Or
ton was not with Neil. He had not
left the house until half past seven
and Lorraine had seen Mrs. Orton
go out with some man at seven.
The evening passed quickly and
Nell came in at eleven o’clock, Lor
raine was still there, so he took her
home.
