SYNOPSIS


Belinda Terrell loved Johnny Parkes
dearly, but he was wealthy and she no
longer was rich so she felt that if
she married him now it would be for
his money. She returned JOhnny's
ring but he told her it didn't make a
bit of difference what her decision
was. She was his from the beginning
and he was annoyed" by her even
raising a question about their mar
riage. "I'll show him. says Belinda.
"And when you've shown him what?
You'll marry him." Foggy, her COM
panion and former g0verness, tells her.
Belinda stuns Foggy by saying that
she has a job as dinner companion
with the ]. G. Thurman Service. "Why
shouldn't / cash in on the only thing
/ know? Next morning, Belinda
tries to slip out of the house because
she owes Mrs. O'Hara, the hOusekeep-
er, two weeks rent. To her aston
ishment, Mrs. O'Hara greets her cor
daily and hands her a receipt for a
months rent in advance. So, Johnny
Parkes had had the insulting BRASS!
On the street, she meets Johnny in
his luxurious car. She snubs him and
when he insists on talking to her, Be-
linda says, Cant you take hint?"
You have bored me for years" She
heads for the subway with Johnny
calling after her, you're a fibber.
