Peter would doubtless be ready to
put the whole thing In a lawyers

Meanwhile there was the trou-

now Il wouldn't do. IL would be

Peter drove to Eric's house
which he found shut and pad
locked.
A small boy from the porch
next door volunteered informa-
ton. "Eric's gone away. He took
his wife and the children 10 Os-
cars house."
Thanks, Sonny" Peter got in

place. a quarter OF a mile away.
Smoke curled from the chimney
Of the small. weatherbeaten home
where Oscar had lived since Peter
was a child. He had an idea that
Il must be crowded with the extra

A girl turned. reaching out her

Peter said. Hello Valeria."
She continued to sit. smiling
at him.
Peter sat down and waited.
You can't refuse me this I

Whats the trouble?" Peter
spoke curtly. This was carrying
things q little too far - Valera
coming to his Office and waiting
after the others had gone.
Valera explained sweetly. She
and her aunt were moving back to
their country place because the
cost OF living In town mi 80 great.
With prices rising II was the on
ly sensible thing TO do. But the
place in the country was impossi-

Peter said. I'D rather you'd get

Il wouldn't trust IL 70 anyone
