MY holidays l spent with Charley,

academic experience was rapidly com

fate that had thrust me upon the world
without silver spoon IN my mouth.
At the end OF two years in the acad-

to go to work. Before the close OF the
summer vacation l applied to the fore

gone to work | hung around the place
evenings like specter, in the hope of
encountering her. We we're good friends
