would be figuratively in the fire
for the erstwhile Toni Goddard!
But enjoy her grand success,
she told herself. Live for the
moment.
One of her principal menaces
was the now hard-drinking Brock
Milbank!
Brock was sailing uncharted
waters, minus the plentiful sup
ply Of money to which he had
been long accustomed.
That he had cared not one
whit for JesSica, the pork-pack-
ing heireSS who had deserted
him, Toni now understood.
Brock was incapable Of loving
anyone, except in SO far as they
miniStered to his own comfort.
Thought Toni: How on earth
could ever have imagined that
I loved him?"
She had suffered over Brock.
And through that suffering, q
new woman had been created.
Someone not afraid Of Life. A
courageous, if somewhat harder
being.
That she could win Brock back
was obvious.

What would her people say
to that? They would no longer
believe in her.
For she had concocted, for
their benefit, a feasible story. Of
concert tours, of garnering q

of making a niche for herself in

Wasn't she earning her own
