 "Of course you are" Gypsy sur veyed him with pride. Gall me when you've finished. I want to sec" The child struttted away, proud and Zestful.
 Sue fingered, her hand fumbling for the ignition key. "I declare wish I hadn't promised to go to Elsie Wilbur's tea" she said. "Id like to stop here all afternoon. We haven't talked things out.

 "She was undisciplined we all were" Gylpsy defended. Sue burst out laughing. "You talk Il grey beard. my dear. You must be all of .27."
