The moon rode high but ominous clouds were rushing towards itclouds heavy with snow. I watched these clouds as I drove recklessly, desperately, over the winter roads. I had just missed the desire of my life, the one precious treasure which I coveted with my whole undisciplined heart, and not being what you call a man of selfrestraint, I was chafed by my defeat far beyond the bounds I have usually set for myself. The moonwith the wild skurry of clouds hastening to blot it out of sightseemed to mirror the chaos threatening my better impulses and, idly keeping it in view, I rode on, hardly conscious of my course till the rapid recurrence of several wellknown landmarks warned me that I had taken the longest route home, and that in another moment I should be skirting the grounds of The Whispering Pines, our country clubhouse.
