Durant.
She was, he conceded even
now, as he stared at her with
lev eyes, an extremely beautiful
girl. She had the mobile type
of face that was lovely in every
expression. She had been smil-
ing as she entered, and there
was a happy quality to her
smile that suggested youthful
innocence. Now, as her express
Sions ran the gamut from sur
prise through reproach and
into anger, she was still lovely.
"Fetch my drink" said Du-

Unblinking, Layton walked
out of the room. Durant didn't

of these characters, thanks to

Of these biographies of minor

point is that the field has

to be treated unless we go in
for people who weren't in Cali
