Monk stood his ground, then touched
her lightly on the arm Miss Shrek
hize gazed straight into Skeeter's eyes
and listened raptly.
Skeeter had seen and had understood
that she intended TO snub Monk. From
that moment Skeeter became the IN
disputed tyrant through whom all
grants OF time or dances with Miss
Shreckhize were to be secured

Monk sheepishly. The crowd has

Monk grew pale around the gills.

that It is up to me to loosen up and

Bun The stuff is yours: leave the

complete the bargain and grasped
Skeeter's warmly. Come on. You
keep Monk OF so can have a chance"
| After the formal preliminaries Bun
said:
I'D like ever SO much to have this

Miss Shreckhize halted Monks face

him like an Infatuated bull terrier.
Except for warning glance from
Skeeter she would have burst out
laughing.
The conspirators found the situation
was appalling, and It grew more 20 q
It lasted.
The orchestra struck up the musk
