Of quickenfng his step. he Jagged
behind a bit. What the dickens. he
asked himself frritably, was Vera
doing here? He was not a con.

average males share of confidence
but he was not idiot enough to SUI

Somehow all day he had been a
bit downcast at the idea Of Gypsy
spending this evening in Hunt Glib
sons company. He hadn't really
liked her going with Hunt to
Lila's dinner party. The fellow
was undoubtedly attracted TO
Gypsy. He was forever hanging
around. Well, a man wasn't a
