“Have a good day, Julie?” Dr.

She nodded. "Hard, but every-

From now on it was to be Dawn
and Pete. The thought stung like
the scalding coffee she tasted.
Dawn wouldn’t be good for Pete,

that there was nothing profession-

Pete, encourage him to selfpity,
torment his pride with false goals.

ruin him. And she would if it suit-

And there was nothing she could
do to prevent it. Ehren the best,

right to touch a man’s decision in
love. Not the right, nor the power
to affect the decision in any way,
probably, save to make it stronger.
Wouldn't Pete roar if Julie should
say that Dawn made a coward of
him, encouraged him to make a
coward of himself! But it was true.
Pete, for all his physical strength, •
his keen, hard-bitten determina-

made his vulnerable. His affections
were deep, strong, unquestioning.
