She heard a friendly laugh out

from Elmer Summers, Journal

to 20 TO him with her troubles.

that.
She thought of Pop. and knew
he was not to be considered now.

while she considered him. Nor
man was deeper than most people

really was loyal. even though
cocky in speech and action.
But In the end she rejected him,

impulsive and would probably do
something terrible because he
himself was involved in Nsncy's
plotting. Presently she had mar
rowed the possibility down to one
