BY this time we had reached the
house.
. Lucille greeted us downstairs in the
living room.
Miss Dunmore is waiting for you"
looked around 10 see whom she
was addressing.

This was especially d%esplcable on
the part Of Bopp. as he knew as well
as ! did that the telegram had been for
the other Blaney whom Clair had spo-

How about this, them" inquired
Lucille sweetly. handing me a damp

I looked at IL la amazement. IL was
my own criticism Of "A production OF
AS You Like IT, which had been

Taken away from the context OF the
