Cousin Elsa within the next forty
minutes turned up some of the OBJ
scurer corners of her life, which for
some reason she had overlooked in the
imprisoned interlude when | had first
come in. She told me how the life Of

futile how, after all, movie shows were
much alike, and how she envied girls
who had some definite purpose in life.
Still, she helped her mother with the
management of the household, and of
