Yes, he must leave the pro- tecting bed. He must rise and be ready for the new day. New day? It was not a new day for Richard Holland. It was a continuation of the day before. And the days and days before that. Yet it was hard. Hard to leave the comfort- able bed. Today he would see Gainsmith. They would talk. Gainsmith, his office boss. Last night Lucille had told him. She was leaving for the Catskills with George. Lucille was always daring. To dare to tell him that, when he had planned the same trip with her. It was going to cost them a little over a hun- dred dollars. They had had it all fig- ured out. It was the last break. He should have seen it coming. She had let him go so slowly that he had never noticed it. He was getting up. He was dressing. What had he done the night before? The clouds must clear away soon. He was putting on his shoes. No. He was still in bed. Oh Lucille, why could you not have been kinder? Richard Holland pushed himself out of bed. Lucille--Gainsmith. Hello, Mrs. Langdon? The Gib- bons? All right. I'll see you then. Mrs. Langdon. Why hadn't he told her he was busy? He did not want to join the Gibbons for lunch. Why, in this modern era, did people have to ever do things they didn't want to do? The Gibbons. They would talk no end. Gainsmith, Lucille, Mrs. Langdon, the Gibbons, breakfast. Breakfast alone. Toast and coffee. Save the toast! Oh! Toast, burned to a crisp. Why did this have to happen? What was that? His eyes were wet. Silly. Crying over burned toast. He burst out laughing. It was a weeping laugh. He was laughing at himself. It just proved how worked up he was. Oh, if he could get away from it alll The razor. Don't be foolish! Gain- smith, Lucille, Mrs. Langdon, the Gib- bons. They would talk to him. He was in the street. He had it. A ride through the park. See the city, Yes, that was it. Riding through the shaded streets consoled him. But he was always thinking. Lucille. I must get away from it all. I will travel across the country. I will be a hobo. Live in jungle camps, and ride freight cars. No. I will join a lumber
