They must not think that they

When he found that we came from

You know how much Bill liked
YOU. Margie, and he launched into a

maudlin.
He was interrupted at last by
Mr. Stuart asking about Dick. l

Then II was my turn, for ! have

Just as we were talking Dick came
in. He looked rather tired. but he
greeted Donna warmly and came
