hand. Here it is" she said.
They stared at her as if she had
dropped from heaven. But it was
Emmy LOUIS impression that she had
been through hell. She felt so and she
was awfully afraid she looked so. She
didn't think she deserved it, but per-
haps that was what a girl got for
having sweet and forgiving nature
and deciding that it was silly to let
Brant leave without saying goodby.

as she approached the pool. A bus
headed for the right side of the town

had boarded it. She hoped he'd under

And she had had an idea.
A good idea it had seemed then.
She'd get into the car. hide back of the
front seat. wait there until he got in.
Then she'd get up and say something.
Probably just, "Boov'

Beyond that she hadn't planned.
She had just hoped nature would take

Instead two men had jumped into
the car and. before she could say her

had been thrown this way and that

Emmy Lou and Brant followed.
"I'll need you both at headquar-

Emmy Lou told him. and added:
