She twisted in her seat and stared at me. “Don’t just sit there!” I said, “I knew it. All right. I’ll do something.” So the next day I drove out to Twelve Oaks and found the owner of the circus. “About that lion cub,” I said. “What’s her life expectancy, as of now?” The owner looked vague. “She’s got three more shows to go this season. I expect her to last at least through the first two.” “Will you sell her?” The man eyed me speculatively. “Why — yes,” he said. “For a price.” THAT night I walked into the foyer of the apartment building and went up in the elevator carrying a curious burden, for me. To the bewildered eyes of the desk clerk and the elevator boy I appeared to have an enormous basket of laundry. That wasn’t all of it. Shah had to have air and exercise, plus the vitamins and cod liver oil that went into the bottle of milk we were feeding her every hour. I took that laundry basket up and down so many times each week that the apartment employees must have thought we were either the cleanest or the dirtiest people in all Santa Monica. ■ After all, if the man who owned those apartments knew we were keeping any sort of pet, much less an African lion, we’d have been out on the street in a flash. Our housing difficulties (pending the completion of our own home) had almost driven us to the point of pitching tents on our mountain top before we landed the space in Santa Monica. Shah had to be kept a dark secret. My wife is a combination of many people, as all of us are. Sometimes she is a wilful child, sometimes a serious, very adult woman, sometimes a tomboy. She is not disenchanted, thank heaven; and she certainly doesn’t give the appearance of being a “sophisticate” — although she is, in the true sense. She likes to make up her life, our life, of simple things, so that aside from her work and mine we go along from day to day just as any other healthy, young, interested-in-life couple does anywhere. Naturally I’m enthused about radio, since I manufacture sets for a living, with particular emphasis on the technical end. I gave Jeanne a big combination radio and record changer for her last birthday, and she has no idea what makes it tick, but she has her favorite mystery serials which neither of us would think of missing, and a record collection that’s getting as difficult to house as the books. She did contribute to the design of the cabinet, and made a couple of determined but abortive efforts to understand the mysteries of electronic tubes and Frequency Modulation. Jeanne has the most appreciative response to favors or thoughtfulness I’ve ever seen in any girl. Immediately after we set the date for marriage I cast about for a place to spend our honeymoon. I tried to think of a spot that would suit Jeanne’s personality, somewhere she would consider romantic and exciting. Furnace Creek Inn had always seemed to me the most wildly beautiful place in the world — but it was a beauty of austerity, of magnificent desolation.
