are no visitors here-none of her own age
and then Lynn is clever and lively, he
plays nicely, and sings well, too. He is
very attentive, and she could not be un-

ave must stop it at that. There's no
time to be lost" said l.

the time Awdrey was starting on aiu
rounds. and when he came up in his gig
asked him to give me a lift as far as
Langly. He had to shift half dozen
books from the seat beside him to make
