130 wivesbehavingbadly

he had been pale lately .
when we arrived at rose;s gleaming - windowed flat . gisela gathered up her handbag m and i searched in mine for the fare ." i think i should stay with you , inty , it might be that nathn 'S HAD SHOCK ."
MY EYES NARROWED  ." gisela , what do you know ?"
shew pushed aside the notes in my hand ," i'll pay ."
the front door to flat appeared to open of its own volition and rose appeared on the doorstep .she was white , whiter then a ghost . i had never seen anyone quite so draoned of color , and there were black streaks on her cheeks . she looked form gisela to me , ansd back to gisela ." you'd better briong minty inside ."
i stepped into small hallway painted in mushroom and white , with sanded floorboards . it flashed through my mind that this was a place i would like to be ."
i have something to tell you ," said rose , directing a warning look at gisela . she took both my hands in hers . her touch burned ." minty , will you come and sit down in the kitchen please ."
i snatched my hands away ." where is nathan ?" rose was silent , and anxiety changed into fear ." what 's he doing here ?"
"please , minty ," said rose ." C....come and sit down ."
awkward and stammering , she seemed completely at a loss . then she pulled herself together ." come into the kitchen ." again she loooked at gisela ." could you help me , please ?"
i cried out , sharply ." has nathan gone ? is that it ? tell me ."
rose shivered ." i am trying to explain to you . minty , and i'm not sure how to do it ."
"something has happened to him ."
