"It's none of it fair, if it comes to that. I'll take such advantage as I've got, rely on that."
"You love her, too!"
Jerry made no reply to that. Jane stood, her hands over her face. Then she spoke quickly.
"I want you to let me go away for a little, all by myself, with only Baby. I want you not to know where I am— I want to feel absolutely alone to work this thing out in my mind. Will you agree, Jerry?"
"How long will you be gone?"
"Not long. I promise to come back the minute my mind is made up."
"All right, if I have your word that you'll come back," said Jerry.
"Why, Jerry!" she exclaimed.
"I'm rather fond of the Bald One," he explained, using their love word for the baby.
She caught her breath for a second with the pain of it. Then she turned to Christiansen.
