cotton dresses, for which Lynn was
grateful, and she wore one of them
to the dinner table.

Wild struggled to keep his voice

Terry slumped in q chair and
thrust his hands into his pockets.

boy. That girl will never have to
worry about making a living.
There will always be somebody
anxious to buy her dinner-or
Sables, whichever she prefers"
Lynn and Rene would not have
been so confident of their situa-
ton if they could have seen ahead.

unfinished. Rene was finishing up
the paint Job in the garage.
