Jccbcrgs I Have Run Into

(E IOTcUCtJ
 I took Florence walking, the hTst time called cn her. She led me into the park and refused to stroll along the main paths because there were too many people there. Then we went driving and she insisted on showing me a lot of parking places because she was sure no one else knew about them or where fheE were. Whenever she grew tired she would stop in dark hall"ay5 to rest. If she were sitting at home in the parlor, she would turn oil most of the lights, because, as she said, it was so common 10 have a room brilliantly it. Anywhere We went she said she liked the dark because it is SO mysterious.
 One night, when there was no moon. I kissed her, She hit me so hard I saw stars.
 But am grateful to Florence TOT she taught me then that electricity IS a boon 10 mankind!
