Leighton used to know. ] guess.
But the poor old soul couldn't even
tell the kind OF a uniform he was
wearing-she said il wasn't "a
sailor suit"-and that he was sail
ing tomorrow. I guess from the
way the boss spoke he thought the
guy had been stringing her"
Did he ask any questions about
him? Davids voice was terse.
Il didn't notice" the girl replied.
II only knew that they talked a
lot about him. I guessed from what
I could pick up that the old lady
likes him, and that my young lady
doesn't
But that's got nothing to do with
