in a gesture of despair. "Of all the
conceited little saps"
Ann did not move, but the smile
vanished from her lips. Had she really
believed he was in love with her-or
had she let her own feelings speak for
them both?
He said at last: ct don't want you
to misunderstood this, Ann. You're

Lee and Ann arrived in time to
