"I bet the potatoes grew fried _ Gertrude divided her time be« tween the two men. Though Roger, between long technical calls to his plant, was available more of the time, it was evident that she preâ€" ferred Mirthbone. «They discussed travel. They had a bond: each had the inane hobby of coliecting bagâ€" gage stickers: She even went home and got her collection, and they bent their heads over the labels on the living room table. Mirthbone was especially interested in a rare one, from the Waldhaus Villingen. still she ddsted, her grim glances telling me that she wanted me~to move, which I stubbornly did not do. Even after T had washed and had coffee, everything annoyed me. The telephormre was in use constantly: Roger calling his office to say he‘d be down, and then calling again to say he guessed he wouldn‘t; Mirthâ€" bone getting reports from other deâ€" tectives, and his crisp "Yes , .. yes" while ‘he scribbled in his notebook; Hilda doggedly doing just what she felt like doing. Only then I realized how much that trait annoyed me, and by what effort I had suppressed my feelings because I needed her. With her eternal dusting, there was no peace inâ€"the library. The drum taâ€" bie, the desk and the radio :lumod; with odorous furniture polish, and best, a dangerous sleepwalker. Worse, 1 was still stinging under the scorn of Mirthbone, now fraternizing with Milda in the basement. Nursâ€" ing my bitterness, I fell asleep. . Sounds of activity awoke me in the morning. My knees had not been unbent all night, and were painfully stiff; I had a dull headache.
