Alan came to a halt before her. he had resumed his striding, and lked down at her thin body and drawn lace, ravaged by illness. A great compassion for her welled up in his heart.

"You mean... you're doubtful about trusting me?" Alan asked.

"No, Alan, not about, trusting you. But there are so many things that can happen, especially if you and Natalie really are at the part- ing of the ways."

"Well, we are," Alan replied, crisply. "But that makes he differ. ence to you, Bernadine. I love Bobby. I believe I've grown more or less to think of him as my own son. Why, I'd be crazy about hav ing him in my home,"
