LUNCHEON WITH EVALYN
CHAPTER XIII
AN Thursday Diana went to
keep her luncheon tnt-asc-
ment with Evolyn Thorpe. They
lived hi a tine old house on Pey-
ton Square which enclosed a
lovely park. The big Curt resi-
dence in Green street was only
live blocks away and Diana
walked the distance, reveling in
the crisp air and thin winter sun-
shine.
On the morning after her inso-
lent outburst, Adela had come to
Diana's room wearing a disarm-
ing air of meekness. In quite
the most polite tones she had ever
used to Diana, she begged her
oardom humbly for her behavior
of the night before.
Diana, genuinely surprised and
touched, assured the unhappy girl
she had quite forgotten the inci-
dent. After Adela left the room,
spurred by a sudden generous im-
pulse, Diana ran after her to
ask her to attend a m.itinee with
her that afternoon. Perhaps, she
thought, if she exerted herself a
little more, she and Adela might
be friends after all.
But in the upper hallway, she
stopped short, halted by voices
coining up clearly from below. In
the stillness of mid-morning Ste-
phen's voice said. "Did you apolo-
gize to Diana as I told you to?"
Adela laughed unpleasantly.
"Of courri| I told her I was
veddy, veridy sorry for my ugly
behavior! That I would be a good
girl in the future. I would have
lied twice as much to keep from
having my allowance cut!"
Diana turned slowly back to
her room. It was, after all, quite
useless to try to make Adela her
friend. And in the future she
would know better than to trust
Adela under~5iny circumstances!
She was thinking of these
things as she approached Evalyn
Thorpe's house. Remembering,
toi>, Richard's words. "Stephen
has always been madly in love
with my wife!"
* * 1>
TT was this remark thft closed
Diana's lips when she wanted
to ask Stephen to tell her more of
Kvjilvn. It had seemed like in-
truding into the privacy of a
shrine, a sanctuary. If he really
loved Evalyn, she could not b>ame
him, for she was certainly the
most beautiful person site had
ever known; but Stephen's lips
remained closed the night Diana
had mentioned the blind girl to
him. She dwelt upon his words,
"There is no one whom I care to
make my wife—literally." Easy
to understand, if his heart was in
the keeping *>f Evalyn Thorpe.
She wondered a great deal
about when and how the estftte
Stephen was to inherit was being
settled. Stephen laid told her
nothing regarding it. Had the ad-
ministrators accepted the fact of
his marriage as genuine and was
she, Diana, serving the purpose
for which she had been brought
into the Curt household? How
I much longer was she to stay? She
j hesitated to ask. believ ing that
i Stephen might think her unhappy
and restless, might terminate the
arrangement sooner than other-
I wise. And she had no wish for
him to do that. She wondered
j;it her strange contcntfrient—at-
. tributed it to her en.ioyment of
| the unusual luxury with which
she was surrounded. "I'm like a
cat." she thought wryly, "happy
when I've «ot a soft pillow to lie
! on!"
| At the Thorpes* Diana was
ushered into a charming living
i room of no especial design or ar-
! rangement. Evalyn rose from a
low, chintz-covered chair by the
j lire and came fonvard with out-
j stretched hands. Her face was
eagerly alight antl Diana was
struck anew with her beauty.
"You're late. I was afraid you'd
forgotten," Evalyn said, clasping
Diana's hands warmly.
"But you must know I couldn't
forget." Diana assured her eager-
ly. "I've been looking forward
to this moment ever since you
asked me."
"You're sweet," Evalyn smiled.
"I knew you would be. Sit down.
We're to spend the day quite
alone, and I shall do everything
in my power to keep you from
being bored!"
As the day wore on, Diana felt
that she could happily spend the
rest of her life in this woman's
company. Her conversation was
gay. charming and interesting: her
busy fingers flew over a knitted
sweater in a deep, sea blue. And
when Evalyn spoke lovingly of
Richard Thorpe and his many line
qualities Diana felt a little
ashamed that she had despised
him so. In spite of everything,
Richard began to '.ake on a glow
of respectability. Surely she had
misjudged him. But she had never
pictured him as the kind hus-
band. the loving companion Eva-
lyn painted.
* * *
CHE shut her thoughts resolutely
to rttriors ; e had heard of
his "affairs." Office gossip, she
told herself. Even the invitation
he had given Diana to no to din-
ner with him had probably been
j list a kindly gesture which she
had been more than ready tc mis-
interpret.
Evalyn told her a great deal
about Stephen, too. whom she had
known since childhood, speaking
uf hjin with warm admiration.
"There is not a liner mind any-
where than Stephen's," she said.
"I hope you appreciate what a
treasure youV- married. And I'm
sure lie n-.ist love you very
much!"
Diana felt like a traitor, but
Evalyn attributed her confused
reply t the natural reticence of
;t brale. Diana wondered what
Evalyn would think a few short
week.- hence when she learned of
the divorce tb.it Stephen would
arrange.
It was late when she rose to go.
"I want you to come here when-
ever you can," Evalyn said. "I
like you. Diana, and I want you
to know you are always welcome.
Handicapped .is I am, I do not get
out much and I shall consider it
a special privilege to have you
come!"
Diana's eyes blurred. "As if the
privilege weren't all 011 my tide!
This has been one of the happiest
days I have ever known. I thank
you for it."
"I'm glad," Evalyn smiled, her
soft, sightless brown eyes shining.
All the way home Diana was
aglow with the warmth of the
blind woman's friendship. What
did it matter if Adela were rude
and unkind, as long as she had
Evalyn?
Still in this exalted mood, sho
reached the Curt home. Larkin
told her that Stephen had not yet
come in. She ran through some
mail lying on a small table in the
hallway and was about to pass
on up to her own room when she
heard low voices in the drawing
room. More from curiosity than
anything else she paused to glance
in. Then she stopped short in
amazement.
For tl\ere, closely clasped in
each other's arms, stood Adela
and Richard Thorpe!
