Ity of the morning.
 He looked at the exceedingly attractive vision of Peggy coming from the boathouse.
 T thought you said Fay was down here"
 "You told me that too" said Nigel responsibility.
 Peggy's eyes narrowed with a certain satisfaction and the pert smile on her lips showed that so far, things were going her way, even though she would have pre- fered to manage the two men separately.
 T only wanted to help" said Peggy.
 At that moment just as Nigel , sat up and noticed obviously and obngingly how attractive she looked in her new swimming suit, Myra emerged from the woodland path and sauntered down to join them.
 Peggy realized that her sister would see through her plans only too quickly, so she smiled sweet ly at Nigel and decided to leave Baldy till later.
 Lets go and find her in the canoe," she suggested.
 Flight" said Nigel ali too wil- lingly."
 "1'll come too said Baldy.
 '"No you won't" said Peggy. Gan you swim?"
 What's that got to do with it?" asked Baldy.
 everything" she replied. "when you swim from a canoe in the mid- die of a lake"
 Myra sat down beside Badly and they watched the other two push off in the sunlight. The canoe cut through the mirror-like sur- face of the lake with a swift per- lection of motion and the two in it completed a perfect picture for & still young summer morning, their strokes falling immediately into perfect rhythm.
 Peggy's dark hair, wildly col ored swimming suit and 1.-the, vibrant body were picture book contrast to the tanned torso of Nigel, muscular and hard after camp training.
 "She's pretty, isn't she?" said Myra watching her sister appre- ciatively and anxious to find out how much she had impressed Baldy.
 She's just kid" said Badly. Besides, I wouldn't care if she was Hedy Lamar. T. got prob lems."
 There was a note of bitterness in his voice that made Myra take a quick glance, but he looked like nothing more menacing than any oversmart, overslick parasite.
 Its like this With me" he began, unable to resist an audience, Twenty years I been in show bus mess, twenty years I seen 'em all, going and coming, up and down. Twenty years. And sister, that's time that is. Why, man in the pen for life don't get more than twenty years If he's got good record, and some of them gets out in less. But I've had twenty years and what l don't know about show business you couldn't put on a dime. Twenty years-ten on the boadrs and ten managing talent, if and when I could find it-and sister, believe 1t
