VERA GETS A JOB
CHAPTER VIII
had been a week since she
and Nick had had an actual
date. To be sure Sue Mary had
seen him at the hall when he
dashed in to check on plans for
the rally; had answered questions
given orders held hurried con-
ferences with Natalie and Vera
and had flashed Sue Mary that
quizzical smile that always made
her feel they shared a secret un-
derstanding.
Now after having been with
Joe. she had lost that feeling of
a hidden bond between herself
and Nick. Knowing that he would
call for her in a short time failed
to give her that sense of anticipa-
tion—of something exciting just
ahead. Joe's arms about her last
night his calmness his solid-
ness. his slow cautious reasoning
seemed to have cleared the rain-
bows away.
Perhaps she and the others
were only children playing a silly
but exciting game. Maybe all this
political ballyhoo was just so
much smoke and maybe the coun-
try wouldn't go to ruin without
the message Youth Progress svas
trying to send forth.
But then Nick came and they
were off to the hall and his en-
thusiasm his fire his words car-
ried her along. Up to now the
rally had been office talk; plans
on paper programs and handbills.
In the hall there was reality:
reality in the presence of crowds
of people; blue haze from eiga-
rots. music from a chorus on the
stage singing party songs.
Nick was here there and every-
where but Sue Mary was content
to sit quietly in the back near
the door where he could slip in
the seat beside her when the talks
started.
Much of it was already familiar
because of listening to Nick and
Vera. The pattern was the same.
Help the worker live a decent
life; take the power away from
the capitalists. Stop the munition
barons on Wall Street Don’t let
them send us to war.
JT was whan Fred King the ean-
A didate for governor at the pri-
t entirely fictitious.
• • •
• • I
manes got up to speak that the
excitement started.
Heckler* somewhere in the hall
began yelling questions. “Who’s
paying your way?” "What kind
of a government do you want?”
"The labor unions are doing all
right without your help!” "Come
out from behind that Moscow
front!” "Where's your swastika?”
The meeting was a seething
mass of confusion. Nick had dis-
appeared and Vera was struggling
up the aisle toward the exit. Sue
Mary cringed back against the
w-all. afraid to try for the door
lest she be trampled by the crow’d
She saw police pushing their way
in. and then she felt Nick’s arms
about her.
She couldn't remember much
about getting out. Nick had
shoved her through a side door
into an alley and through the
blackness of the summer night
to a quiet street w’here his car
w'a* parked.
"How did you get the car here?”
she asked after they were safely
driving into the still peaceful
residential section. "We were
parked right in front of the hall.”
He looked at her quickly and
there was a moment’s silence be-
fore he parked the car and took
her in his arms. “Maybe I xvas
just lucky. I didn't want any-
thing to happen to you.”
It wasn’t an answer to her ques-
tion. but the suddenness of his
emotion frightened her. 5fie tried
hard to push him away and laugh
at his intensity.
"The meeting upset you" she
said. “Whv did those men make
that trouble’”'
"Don't bother your pretty head
about it” Nick told her. "That's
for me to worry about. And it
wasn't really trouble. We ll get
more space in the papers tomor-
row than if nothing had happened.
We can show there are forces at
work that don't want the people
to know' the truth; forces trying
to stop us in our work."
• • *
11ALF-FORMED doubts w’ere in
* her mind and it was a* though
Nick sensed that uncertainty. Joe's
j words stayed with her: crackpots
always waving a flag for some
cause of other. She tried to free
herself from Nick's arms but he
held her closer murmuring her
name over and over.
. "Poor little frightened Sue
Mary. No the place for you is in
a home. You're not like the
] others."
"I guess I’m not like Vera” she
admitted. "She's always so sure
of what she's doing.”
"I've been thinking about Vera
though” Nick Mid. "She s work
in* too hard and the party can't
afford to pay her much. Next
week after the primaries there
will be less to do for a while.
“I wish Vera could get a job
like yours. Maybe you could help
her get work. Somethin* in your
office perhaps. Don't some of the
girls go on vacations soon? Maybe
\>ra could All in for a few
months.”
"Well—I don’t kow. Nick. I
hadn’t thought about it but per-
haps she could. She's very effi-
cient. I could tell them about
her.”
‘‘You will then?” His voice was
eager and she felt herself help-
less to refuse.
• • •
AT the office next morning she
wished she hadn't committed
herself. Vera was unlike the other
girls.
It wasn’t that she was unattrac-
tive. or untrained. Sue Mary
could honestly say that she would
work as well and longer than
many. Yet she wondered just how
Babs. Kitty and Miss Grant would
react to Vera’s own individual
philosophy. But she had prom-
j i«ed Nick and she knew she
would never have the courage to
see him at the hall Friday unless
she carried out his wish.
It wasn't as difficult as she had
anticipated. Babs gave her the
opening by announcing that she
was going to take her two weeks’
vacation starting the first of the
month.
“I’ll try to clean everythin* up
before I leave” she told Kitty
and Sue Mary “but the way the
work has been comm* in from
the plane and auto factories. I
just never seem to get caught up.”
That gave Sue Mary a reason
for approaching Miss Grant later
that day. “If Babs is going on
her vacation and the work is in-
creasing. I thought you might put
an extra girl on for a while. And
Miss Oliver is very capable. She’*
a friend of mine and very effi-
cient.”
“I guess I’m a better sales-
woman than I think.” she told
' Nick when she phoned him that
| evening. “Anyway tell Vera to
i come in within a day or so and
cee Miss Grant. I'm sure she can
finish convincing her that she'll
do very well.”
Nick's voice was able to do
something to her even over the
phone: that heady intoxication
that feeling of a whole new world
unknown.
“You've done a good job” he
>aid. “You've helped Vera who
needs help a^d a« for me—well
tomorrow—tomorrow night I'll
tell you how I feel about iL”
