looked up and there was keenness in his voice. "Only-suppose I was to tell her, Barker? What's to stop me walking out of here tonight now and telling herabout you and me, and what you are?" He moved purposefully toward Barker in the doorway. But then he halted because Barker was shaking his head and smiling a small, apologetic smile.

"Sorry. She already knows, Vern. I told her before we were married."

"Not before you laid her, but before you were married. Yeah, it figures." Vern stared bleakly. "And you still work the other side of the street, I'll bet. Don't you?"

"It's pleasant sometimes."

"Christ." Vern said.

"Look, have you got a place to stay? We've got lots of room. Big old barn of a place, but we've worked it over. Kind of proud of it, like to show it off. Please come."

"Go to hell," Vern said, and pushed out past him.

The kids were all in the station wagon now, but the windows were down. They leaned out, waving and grinning. He turned and walked away into the fog. "Good-night, Vern," they sing-songed after him.

DO YOU READ ONE'S OTHER MONTHLY?

Surely you know about ONE Confidential, the newsy little monthly which gives the equivalent of eight (or more) pages in ONE Magazine to The Friends of ONE (Members). If you don't see ONE Confidential you are not really in the know these days: the news, the explanations, Backstage at ONE, the many things not for the Magazine.

ONE Confidential is never sold, so do not ask for a single copy. You MUST BE A MEMBER to receive it. See details below.
