You're a fine one TO say anything

"You make me sick" the red
haired woman snapped. Must you
lose all sense Of proportion because
you're in love? Since you were de-
termined to get married, you at
least should get what it is worth to
you in the papers"

peevish denunciation. IF it hadn't
been for your interference I'd at
least have had the opportunity Of
taking my bride to the hotel and

had married a handful?" She
dabbled her fingers into Larry's tin
of cold cream and began taking of
her street makeup. 80 far as I'm
concerned she doesn't mean a thing

"Still you didn't want me to
