CHAPTER XII
GEE, Jerry, I'm sorry" Myrtle
- burst out in answer to her
roommate's questions. Il lent
George all that money to be silent
partner in a hotdog stand. He and
that fellow whose garage he uses
are starting place on the Jericho
Turnpike. Gee. I'm sorry II you
counted on me to help you out. You
know I would IL / could"
Myrtle felt grieved at that mo-
ment for Jerry because she looked
so crestfallen. Then. It being
Myrtle's way to become cross when
her sympathy was deeply touched.
she said: If you cant 60 to that
blowout it's your guardian angel
keeping you from it. First thing
you know you'll be losing your
head over Alester Carstairs."
Jerry smiled unsteadily. She un.
derstood Myrtle. Her friends re.
mark did not upset her but It was
a blow not to get the money. Now

Myrtle asked her abruptly a little
later why she couldn't cut the
sleeves out Of her printed chiffon

party. Jerry's depression was call.

Of his friends will be there. !. +.
'Humph!" Myrtle interjected
scornfully. George told me about
the kind of people who 80 there.
I'll bet any OF his friends you meet
there never set a foot inside his
house. &" she stopped abruptly.
Jerry's face was flaming!
"Well." Myrtle went on defiantly,
maybe they're not all fast. Some
Of them might not know any more
about the place than you do. But
II were you. I'd keep away from
the Rolling Stone Inn"
Il never saw anything out OF the
way" Jerry replied defensively. II
