After that first awful night, it had become a practice for her to go down to the flat almost daily, each time devising some fresh forms of amusement��Fay was like a child��and directing the domestic machinery, which was now much smoother. The clinging helpless hands of Fay gave her a strange feeling, and a curious bond had sprung up between them. To Fay, Claudia, with her education and culture, was something wonderfully clever, something she had never known, something that made her long, in her generous, undisciplined heart, to emulate, to grow into. She considered Claudia��s knowledge of books and pictures amazing. She told all her fellow-professionals who flocked to see her��and they were a strange, bizarre crowd��that her sister-in-law was the most wonderful and splendid lady in the world, and when Jack occasionally talked carelessly of his sister, she was roused to such volleys of wrathful words that the nurse had to ask him not to excite her. In all her moods��sometimes babyish, when she would play with dolls and mechanical toys; sometimes fretful, when nothing pleased her and she wailed to get well; sometimes optimistic and full of ideas for new turns and songs��Claudia was always wanted and loudly welcomed. Fay did not always want Jack��perhaps she divined something of his repugnance[228] to sickness��she did not always want her ��pals,�� but she always listened eagerly for Claudia��s step in the hall, and if she did not come, sent the nurse to the telephone.

��Oh, no!�� she exclaimed impulsively. ��I should never have thought that.��

��Why are we disgraced?�� said Claudia calmly, also forced to assume a position she had never meant to take. ��She��s not your wife, she��s Jack��s.�� A satirical smile curved her lips as she tried to imagine Gilbert married to The Girlie Girl.
