Anita. Our both knowing Luis is a
sort of introduction isn't it?"
Wilson was good when he had that
note in his voice. But it got him no

and very lost indeed. And along gal

rescued me. They were most kind"
Il suppose a Shiek had got bored
and put you back where he had got
you."
"Oh no." she said with a gurgle of
laughter, Il was bored with him. So
I stole a plane and flew aWay!" Sud-
denly she was on her feet. "Oh, I'm
late-I must go!"
Where to-"
ITO see President Roosevelt" she
said outrageously. He thinks I'm CLAM
