even deeper than that. Dan was

well have to, outsmart IN some
way.
Well, if necessary, Corey told
himself a bit smugly, he would
outsmart him in whatever way

hit underhanded. For if Corey's
principles were not as high as

It was most unfortunate that
Corey happened to know that
Sally's father was the chief stock

There had been so much more

"He's certainly got the best OF
