Clayton had not been
asleep. He had got to thinking rather feverishly of the New-year.
Without in any way making a resolution, he had determined to make
it a better year than the last; to be more gentle with Natalie,
more understanding with Graham; to use his new prosperity wisely;
to forget his own lack of happiness in making others happy. He
was very vague about that. The search of the ages the rector had
called happiness, and one found it by giving it.
To his surprise, Natalie came into his bedroom, looking like some
queer oriental bird, vivid and strangely unlike herself.
"I saw your light. Heavens, what a party!"
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you didn't mind my not going on."
"I wish you had. Clay, you'll never guess what happened."
"Probably not. What?"
"Well, Audrey just made it, that's all. Funny! I wish you'd seen
some of their faces. Of course she was disgraceful, but she took
it off right away. But it was like her - no one else would have
dared.
