EK1C WOOLF
IV
PVER since I had known Eric
Woolf, 1 had been convinced
that he never made a move with-
out calculating precisely where it
would land him on the scale of
his own personal aggrandizement.
As he entered the room, I saw
that his close-cropped blond hair
had been bleached almost w’hite
by the sun. He was smiling, but
his eyes were the palest and cold-
est of blues.
“Well, Trent.” Woolf put out
his hand. “How are you?"
"I’m all right.” I said.
"You had u lovely lady wor-
ried." He rubbed Iris hands and
glanced at Hat.
He’s not supposed to know
answered Pat dryly.
"But, of course.” Woolf helped
himself to a cigaret from the box
on the table. "You know, you
were in all the papers, Trent.”
"Was I?”
“Um-hm-headlines. too. Boston
aviatos --’cd. Former Har-
vard at v of 30 missions
over Gei by rocket-
bomb.” He laughed lightly. “Quite
a disturbance.”
“It was not very funny,” I sai<
“Really?” He was still smiling
“Then they are quite effective—
the robots?”
"One of them, well-placed,” I
said, “can kill at least a hundred I would not believe me in Germany
women • '■■rilruen.” ill I told tinrn that there is not
“The women and children,”
Eric said; “that is regrettable. But
in total war—that happens.”
"There’s nothing like viewing a
thing with Olympian detach-
ment,” I said.
Eric sat there, immaculate and
fit in his Oxford gray suit with
the pencil stripe.
“How is your father, Miss Pat?”
he asked.
“Grumpy,” said Pat. “He thinks
the world is going to pot.”
* * *
4tW7HAT is it,” asked Erie, “the
" war or his health?”
“Neither,” Pat replied bluntly.
“It’s money.”
“Is there something possibly I
could do?” Eric asked.
“Heavens, no!” Pat laughed.
“Thank you, Eric, but it’s not so
bud as that.”
Pat flushed. She glanced at me
and I turned to look at Eric curi-
ously. Was he really wealthy?
I said;
“What are you doing now,
Erie?”
"Nothing,” he replied. "How-
ever, 1 am dickering with the
O. W. I. for a place on their for-
eign language broadcasts. I have
an idea for a program calculated
to regain the confidence of the
German people in us.”
"Have you any ideas as to how
we can regain confidence in the
German people''" I said.
“Did yon go to the game this
afternoon, Eric?” Pat asked, ap-
parently determined to keep the
conversation light and harmless.
“No, Miss Pat. I find football
dull. I took a walk along the
waterfront.” Eric's eyes grew
speculative. "They have removed
ill restrictions. One can go prac-
■ully anywhere."
Things have changed consid-
er v in the past two years,” I
said.
"Yes,” he admitted “They

tVTJON’T tell them.” Pat laughed
lightly. Woolf glanced at
her. There was a silence. Then
Eric said to me:
“You have a discharge but-
ton?”
His eyes ran over the lapel of
my coat.
“Not yet.”
“You’d better hove one. It may
save you embarrassment.” He
took out a cigaret. “By the way,
what was the trouble?"
“Trouble?” I asked evenly.
“Yes.” He lit a cigaret and
blew the smoke through his nos
trils. “The reason for yom dis-
charge."
“He was wounded. Eric,” Pat
said. “By the rocket bomb. Don't
you remember?”
“He looks pretty fit to me,”
Eric said,
I got up.
“At a more appropriate time,”
I said, “I’ll take the liberty of
working off my resentment lor
that remark."
"Nick," Pat said. "Eric -please "
“I think I'll run along, Pat," I
said.
"Really, old man," Erie said,
“I meant nothing by die remark.”
"Possibly. I’ll sec you tomoi
fow," I said to Pat.
Her lips were curved in an un-
certain .smile. Eric came up and
laid his hand on my arm.
"1 can see now the remark was
offensive," lie said “I'm sorry
for our little disagreement to
night."
"I'll hear up undei it." I said.
But 1 had tlie feeling that it i
stayed any longer something un-
pleasantly virile might follow. Pat
read my eyes.
“I'll get your coat," she said.
Eric was frowning.
"Have you your old rooms at
the Esplanade?" he asked.
"I'm slaying with Charley
Strand." I renlled
pt li'lle question of
Wi come back to me later.
But it was not until tlie very
grim business of what had tarted
out like a quiet Saturday night
was over.
