 You have such wonderful eyes, he murmured.
 "Yes?" she inquired expectantly.
 "They are like stars" he went on. His short, quick breaths famed her cheek as he leaned closer, still closer.
 Her head went up to his, her lips almost brushed his, as he panted, "They are so very bright"
 His arm went cut, his hand fum- bled in his pocket, With a quick gesture he drew forth a glittering ob- jeit: "They are so very bright" he repeated passionately. He thrust his watch before her. See if you can see the time in the dark. Wi Hams Purple Cow.
