work for you," Mary Rose sale
thoughtfully. as she looked at the
little figure.
With her fluffy hair, her flower
like face and her little 1utterlne
hands. Fiossie was more like
Dresden china shepherdess than
business woman. She looked curious

background of fling cases and greer
droplights. And to think that Hilary
Dexter had made her head of De

to let Sam Jessup help me for a few
days until I get the hang of the
thing"
Her voice trailed off, and she
looked past Mary Rose frowning.
What do you want, Miss Mac?'
she asked, and there was ice in her
tones.
Mary Rose turned. Miss Mac

noured forth in an angry torrent.
"I've known Hilary Dexter for fiji
