Laurel had a dash Of Latin
blood in her, mixed with
Scotch and pioneer American.
Imogen informed her, teas
ingly, that that was a "helluva
combination" ."...
Goodness! A girl like you"
The inference was that the
earth and everything therein
contained was at Laurel's slim
young feet, would she but

Also. because Of the mixed

She didn't know Indeed,
so clever was I'm that few did
know that in nearly all Of
her transactions Imogen got a

It had been thrilling-though
rather Spooky-that interview.
The psychoanalyst had put
the most intimate kind of ques-

At first, Laurel had been
chary of answering them, be-
cause Imogen, too, had stayed
in the room.

eagerness to hear something of

Imogen was silent. Laurel
noticed that Imogen's eyes were

Imogen, which had narrowed
