read the document and with trembling
fingers she signed her name.
"Say, I sure fixed that one for you,
didn't I? Tell me I'm not good, huh?
I sure put you over, didn't I, Janet?
Come on, baby, let's be alone tonight.

Janet shuddered "Dotty! can't &.
I can't, tell you, I can't"
Listen, kid. Forget that you hate
that guy. He must be crazy about you
to have given you such a break ..
to arrange for a special addition and

the party tonight because he knew
you'd enjoy yourself more if he weren't
