forth a switchmeu's strike as che
first thing which came into his head
20 offer as an explanation of Maj.
Grantland's concern over something
ne thought 30 necessary to keep from
me.
But there was tho ring OF truth in
one thing ne had said-that he be-
lievcd MAJ. Grantland was worrying
unnecessarily over what had occur
red. I was as sure Of that as I was
that Dicky's real sentiments toward

DOESN'T blind me % the fact that his
nature IS a most volatile one. and
always IS optimistic. Hugh Grant
lands judgment was far better, ]

would be able to keep his Judgment
Hninfuenced by his feeling for me
b. any one else in the world.
But Dicky. whether Intentionally

Family. II could not stand the
weight Ct that on my head until the
last minute"
Don't need to stand it at all, +"
