"That isn't very nice, Sis"
i "And is it nice for you to come
knocking Pat Thayer when you
know I'm crazy about him? Is it?"
He tried to be fair. II guess 1t
sounds pretty bad" he confessed.
"But you know I'm honest, Sis-and
what I'm telling you isn't guess
work. It isn't based on rumOr.
Thayer isn't any man for you. And
I don't want you going with him
any more. You must lay off him."
II don't have to do what you say
/ guess If you weren't at this col

me apart. I'll marry him!

"I'll marry him.
@But-but you can't"
Because you say so?"

hadn't told Tony that he'd keep her
secret.

"Ne1l see." She was aflame with
indignation: I'm going to ask him
myself If he'll marry mel And don't
think don't mean that, Bud-be-

He stared at her for a minute.
She was his sister-and he knew
that she was serious. He sensed
the futility of further argument and
turned away abruptly. She jumped
in front of him. her eyes blazing.
"Where are yon going. Larry?"
His face was more grim and for
bidding than she had ever seen It.
IL can't hammer any sense into
your head. Ivy-so I'm going to see
Pat Thayer."
