why he should have had to clear out. So many men married the sort
Audrey had been, in Chris's little study, only to find that after

of mind during the next few days. One of them undoubtedly was the
Valentine situation. Beside Audrey's predicament and Chris's
wretched endeavor to get away and yet prove himself a man, his own
position seemed, if not comfortable, at least tenable. He would
have described it, had he been a man to put such a thing into words,
as that "he and Natalie didn't exactly hit it off."
There were times, too, during those next few days, when he wondered
if he had not exaggerated their incompatibility.
