Rorie knew a man I'm London-a
man with a prospective title and an
income Of fouA figures-who In his
reckless youth had married the girl
who sold him hts cigarets. She had
been pretty-nothing more.
And the man with the prospective
title had tired Of her: but she had
not tired OF the prospective title. and
altogether she had made things un.
comfortably hot for him.
Rorle wondered IL Resale was that
