Clay. And there is no excuse whatever."
"You mean - he is working?"
"Not at night. He is simply obstinate. He says he is tired. I
don't really mind any more. He is so hatefully heavy these days."
"Heavy! Clay!"
"My dear!" Natalie drew her chair closer and lowered her voice.
"What can one do with a man who simply lives war? He spends hours
over the papers. He's up if the Allies make a gain, and impossible

room when he comes home what the news is. It's dreadful."
Audrey flushed.
"I wish there were more like him."
But Natalie smiled tolerantly.
"You are not married to him. I suppose the war is important, but I
don't want it twenty-four hours a day. I want to forget it if I can.
It's hideous."
Audrey's mouth twitched. After all, what was the good of talking to
Natalie. She would only be resentful.
"How is the house coming on?" she asked.
She had Natalie on happy ground there.
