THEY slipped down Sherman hill
i and wound about until the car
turned into the highway leading
into Woodbury. The village was
asleep. Occasionally they passed a
house in which a light shone and a
single pedestrian crossed the road
as they entered North Woodbury..
But there was no other signs of life.
Out in the night once more, they
swept between the ratings of mar
row bridge and assembled a short
hill with no apparent loss of speed.
? Mary Della . -
"What?"
Did we drive out here toto
'sulk?"
Mary Della twisted a helpless lit
tie handkerchief until it tore, but
she did not answer.
Life is very confusing, Mary
Della. 1 almost said disappointing
But we can do very little to change
it. and perhaps we ought to make
sthe most of it as it comes to us
There's a question, know, but I'm
inclined to think we ought"

Mary Della caught corner of the
handkerchief and stuffed it into a
jacket pocket. I'm afraid you're
talking over my head. Bob
Then I'll phrase it differently. 1
said I was trying to be honest with
some one else. I mean to say that
I've no right to be out here with

Just a moment, I haven't fin

am being unfair TO others. But if

would not only be with you'd

arms and-and-"
