I wouldn't have told Dearest for the

that in spite of my praise Of her play

Couldn't you find groom to take
the cart down for you?" l inquired
rather Indignantly as Terhune came TO

If you're only interested in getting

Terhune stared in surprise at this
point of view and I own l couldn't
help siding with him a little.
But my dear girl" he protested,
"how can help being interested in
It? A fortunes fortune, and besides,
