greeted her with a brisk smile that
did not have time TO bring out the
~coarseness Of his face. and led her
to a corner table in the grill room,

He smiled AZ her. There vas a
subtle difference in 1t TO those first
smiles that she had hated, and that
had seemed 70 wish to grasp her IN
an undesired embrace.
I am quite willing TO advance

living expenses while you are at

Judy was so astonished that she
spoke with her mouth full.
