look at the house to see if father
had succeeded, and if it looked worn
and shabby you'd make UP your mind
that he was failure. The furniture
in the spare room was SO battered
that I thought I'd better paint it.
But it was such short time that it

she had MORALLY offended him, al

simple dignity.
"Im glad to have you say that,

Later, when the change had been
