been seonfiding in her husband that
the young woman who lived upstairs
annoyed her SO much that she in
tended to try to break off the

overheard the decidedly unpleasant
things that she had said to John
about her. 1t would be one of those
awkward situations one couldn't

CHASTITY she herself would feel if
she had overheard some one saying

graceful carriage, her face held
elements of beauty of a wild, sweet
