The Dividing Stream
“Bennett said to Lena.
‘‘He’s worried,’’ Lena said.
‘‘Oh, I long ago ceased to worry about Karen and if he was sensible he would follow suit.… Oh, do sit down, Max, do stop this incessant prowling. You make me feel so hot.’’ ‘‘Sorry,’’ Max said. ‘‘But what can have happened to her? I rang tip the hotel and they said the Maskells had returned without her. Unfortunately they went out again almost immediately, so I can’t get in touch.’’ Mrs. Bennett shrugged her shoulders, as if the topic b...ored her, and said: ‘‘How nice you look, Lena. I’ve seldom seen you look nicer.’’ The girl had no figure and it was sensible of her to wear a plain suit of dark blue shantung, with a white blouse, white shoes and a white hand-bag. There had been days when she had been less sensible. ‘‘Doesn’t she look nice, Max?’’ But Max was once again striding up the platform.
