all the time?"
I've carried ii in my mind"

little catl"
He spluttered the word out. He
looked at her murderously but she
was no longer afraid.
You can call me what you like"
she said. That night, when your
sister came TO supper at your flat
and sneaked away and left me
alone with you, and you locked your

He turned toward the door. Rage
and hatred were in his soul, and
the madness Of baffled desire. which

II shall try to make you change
your mind. I shall live for that"
You'll waste your time" she
said. You'd much better forget all
