had anything 10 do with 10. II was
my scamp OF a secretary who nxed
up the whole thing. and he's dead"
Then, TO Conley, Take me out or
here"
But al the door just before Con

feel that he had sighted Uncle

II didn't think last night" Rhoda
said after an interval, ''that 7 could
ever hate anybody as much as ]

Uncle William worse"
Martin admitted that there wasn't
much 70 choose between them. But

he concluded.
"Not Uncle William Rhoda In

Rather sobe-ly. as the dusk grew
down to dark, they discussed the

That's what father and 7 we're
always going TO do" Rhoda said
with q gasp. and Martin held her
quietly and let her cry as long as
she liked.
The Jingle OF the telephone
brought them back to the moment.
Martin switched ON n light and
Rhoda went to the instrument. IT was
