girl always seemed To smile back mt
him In a CHEEKY. encouraging manner.
Tonight he did not feel that he could
think too much about the girl on the
boarding because. when one has only
very lonely Christmas to look for

only makes matters worse. So Jos
bumped his shoulders to the cold wind
that was blowing and waited for an
other car.

on his shoulders as he stood there, and
Jos had 10 gasp for breath before loDk-
