 Even Gloria caught her breath at that. Into her memory flashed picture of nr. Johns faCe-friondy. kind, concerned. She opened her lips to defend him when May spoke again.
 "Gloria can tell VOL how he left me alone day after day, night after night" she went on in cold, hard voice. And then raised the roof be- cause l played around little with Jim Car, wc!--lf you call that being fair 10 woman I don't"

 Sho slipped her arm aronr
