apparent that the salary of Junior
shop assistant did not admit of an &C.

rings, theater stalls or even chocolate

muddy, the wind bitter, and Daisy felt
that life would be better worth living
when she had an opportunity of reviv-
ing herself with tea and hot scenes.
George hesitated outside the only
restaurant in the place, and she smiled
hopefully. His hand stole to his trous-
