What dashed me not little was Bill ings' indifference to the record I was making for his car-didn't seem to care a jolly hang.
 The trump was still hanging on him in way to make you sick, and cooing and going on in a nervous, half-hys- terical way l never would have thought her able to ehirp up to. And Billings was holding her hand,
