 The next day was Thursday and Pats shopped. She was taking tea
 Two chairs crashed to the floor, a lamp followed them. There was the sound of blows. Of StFangled breathing, of mutteFed impreca- tionS. Then Don swung hard and his opponent eliihered to the floor, AS Don sprang 10 follow his ad' vantage, Pats screamed,
 "EIins Sims" She had seen unauenchable hatred in her huH. bands eyes.
 With Pats scream for help and Don's forward lunge Rosie shrieked and threw herself upon him in a frenzy of disappointed rage. She kicked and scratched and bit and her magenta nails left four deep welts on Don's cheek, The onslaught gave BTadlOYich time Co recover Rnatchlng a heavy eandlestlek from the mantel shelf, he rushed at Don,
 Then Pats went wild. Hurllng herself into the fray, she caught the lawyers uplifled arm and the candlesllck crashed to the hearth, She too kicked and elawed, Her glasses fell lo the floor and were tTalnpled under scFamblinR feet, The hated wig slipped over one eye and recklessly she ripped t from her head, Then her eye caught the full impact of Rosles sharp elhow as Don iurlonsly thrust her aside.
 M0menlaTily stunned by the blow, Pats gave ground, her heel caught in a rug and she went down just as Don landed a telling blow on the exact point Of the lawyers chin, With a gToan he folded up and sank 70 the floor,
 As sine fell Pats head struck the leg 0f a table and she struggled ln a fast blackening plt, As through a log she saw Don deliberately throw the inert MT. BFadl0yleh Into the corridor and push his protesting client after him, With darkness ens gulllng her she heard the slammlne of the door,
