Mary Roses nostrils narrowed
with the quick, keen sigh that
she gave.
He did care for me-once upon

were weeks and weeks, while i,

were miserable because he was
engaged to Doris HING. He told
me he loved me better than any
one he'd ever SEEN"
Flossie laughed a little. MEN

things like that beforehand not

Rose. The only way to get along
with some of Them is never to
believe anything they sayp'
Mary Rose shook her head.
"No-I have to believe people
when they say things to me-"
she said. THAT is, II they're
people I like. And / could have
sworn that John Manners meant
what he said to me. He just
seemed to change overnight.
