short while"
"You say she has duplicated your
fro"k ?"
This is how it IS" said Betty. using
n locutim which she employs in moments
of excitement Il got the most stunning
dress pattern when | was east last win
ter 1t YVES a wolfe the color of wild
June roses. There was nothing like it
here"
Vanity, vanity" said |.
