CHAPTER III
rJ"HK .sight of Jeun Reynolds' cat-
parked before his shop brought
Johnny back to reality with a
lurch. In his hunt for Molly
Travers he had forgotten ail about
the letter he meant to write to
Jeun, telling her their love affair
was finished.
When she turned and faced him,
he realised again how pretty she
was. Her brown eyes clear with
honesty, and her mouth soft with
love and understanding. Her
clothes were simple. The cameo
at the throat of her white blouse
was like a jewel in a satin box.
"Hi ya," she said in the exact
tone she used when her cocker,
Barky, returned from his airing.
"You've certainly turned out a
trusting soul in your old age. The
door was wide open. I sold two
of your silly snoods."
"Thanks," he answered mechan-
ically.
Jean was standing before him,
her arms around his neck, waiting
for a kiss. Johnny took her face
between his two hands, looked
down into the depths of her trust-
ing eyes and despised himself.
He kissed her, but she drew
back from him as if she sensed
the difference in that kiss.
"Johnny, what's happened?" she
asked in a small, frightened voice.
Johnny sat down on the sea
chest. He kept his eyes on the
door while he answered.
"Jean, I came down here to
think it all over."
Jean sat down beside him. She
put her arm around his shoulder.
Tiio arm comforted him and gave
him courage. "Think what over?
Don't tell me the doctors have
given you six months to live!"
"I'll live all right. It's a
girl. . . ."

Jean was standing
standing before him, her arms around hit
neck, waiting to be kitted.
"Johnny, what'a happened?", she asked, in a «mall,
frightened voice.
with which Jean answered,
"Naughty, naughty, Johnny. Re-
member you can't have any other
gal. You're engaged lo me. So
toll her the truth."
"Sorry, Jenn. it's not that easy
for me." He turned and faced her
for the first time. "It's all over
between us, my dear, between you
and me, I mapn. I've met a girl
who makes me see that. She's the
kind of a girl dreams are made of."
Jean took the blow standing.
Johnny saic her put her hand to
her forehead, rumple her hair as
she did when disturbed. She
didn't speak for a minute. She
picked up her purse and begun
to scramble through it.-
"Here't a cigaret. Jean," he said,
and lighted it. for her, "Say some-
thing. Tell me I'm a fool. Tell
me I'm a heel. But don't just
stand there looking at me." He
was angry, but he couldn't explain
why.
"Shut up, Johnny," she said
j sternly, drawing long drags on her
cigaret. "I can't think straight yet.
Did you know her before you
came down here?"
"No," Johnny told her. "I came
down here to think. I didn't Xeel
right about that job your dad
offered me, and about us, maybe.
I don't know."
She glossed over thut point.
"Oh, you were jugged because of
exams and getting your degree.
Things would have brightened in
a week or so. But this girl,
Johnny. Who is she? Does she
!~vc you, too?"
"She's a:' apprentice at lite
Theater. I don't know whether
she loves me or not," he answered
as it that were unimportant.
"Good heaven. It's not one of
those things? I thought you gave
up crushes the summer you were
gaga about Sally Rand."
Her altitude ahnoyed Johnny.
He retorted angrily, "So you're
Jealous? But then this is the old
triangular situation. You might as
well jump in your jalopy and git
for home."
Jean laughed. "You flatter your-
self, Don Juan. But give me credit
of a little curiosity I want, to see
this angel-puss who could sweep
you up to the stars, sprinkle you
with moonbeams, so that you don't
even need Jecnnie to pull up it
cloud or two to tuck you in."
Johnny didn't answer her. so she
shrugged, picked up her hat. and
said, "G'by. I'm at the Meltons'
if she wants to kill a few birds.
Theater people always adore
meeting everybody. Each one for
the money; two for the show!"
"That's right. Get sarcastic. It's
so becoming. Don't suppose you're
going my way?"
■v •
CHE let him drive the car, just
as she always did. But she
kept interrupting his thoughts,
with, "Look, the Arnolds have
rremi," #n< , "There's Willis Mack.
Johnny I enn't wait to see his
new wife. Sue Melton says she's
a knockotit."
When he slammed the door after
him. she slid under the wheel and
held out her hán<| She looked
straight at him. but he saw that
her chin was quivering. He hoped
she wouldn't cry. That always
undid him completely.
But Jean Reynolds didn't cry.
She threw the car into gear,
rushed the motor while her foot
was still on the clutch.
"I hate her, Johnny Regan, truly
I do. But I can't fight back. I'm
so used to letting ,vou have what-
ever you wanted, though a dream
girl is a little out of my line. But
if 1 find out she doesn't love you,
Johnny, and you're wasting all
that romance, there's going to be
fur flying. You'd better warn
her,"
Johnny wasn't angry any longer.
She was seeing it the logical way.
"That's right, Jean, be a sport.
And you'll be in love aguin, your-
self, pretty soon. Ours was just
kid stuff."
Jean looked at him without
mirth. "Don't be a half-wit.
Love's not something I turn on
and off like n water faucet, Ever
since I was 5 years old I've been
in love with you. 1 don't know
about you, but I'm grown up."
r * •
JOHNNY went uwide. He'd wast-
ed a lot of time, easing things
off with Jean. He took a quick
shower, put on a clean bush-coat
and combed his hair. He tried not
to think about his talk with Jean.
Johnny rented two bicycles,
bought four sandwiches and was
on the doorstep of number 43
Cotuige at 7 o'clock. He had
plenty of time, then, to mull over
the situation, for Molly kept him
•vailing.
They climbed upon their bi-
cycles and pedaled along in si-
lence. They rounded a curve and
Capetown lay below them, a col-
ored etching in white and blue.
"It's so beautiful," Molly said
when they stopped there to rest
a minute, "that I forget how I've
cursed the whole place for these
two foul weeks."
"Yes," said Johnny solemnly.
"Each year when Muy comes to
Boston, I And myself thinking of
triangular views like this one, of
the way the twisled pines look on
the road from the beach, the :,alty
smell of fishing boats in the bay."
They climbed their wheels and
coasted down hill.
Molly was watching the road
carefully, but she answered, "And
I imagine all the wealthy pcnplo
here in summer make things
hum."
Johnny frowned. He'd been so
used to accepting the Cape and
its summer folk, thut he resented
even Molly considering the money
that bought the boats he sailed,
the station wagons ho drove cas-
ually around.
"They're all swell. They don't
think about their money. You'll
see that when you meet them.*'
"Arc we going to the Meltons?
They tell me a crowd is always
there."
The Meltons. Of course, that
was the logical place. But Jean.
"We can't go to the Meltons to-
night. There's a girl . . ."
Molly braked her bicycle, turned
to look at him suspiciously. "Have
you had a regular girl all this
time?" she asked incredulously.
