state his customary relaxing FASH

Of steps leading TO the platform,
inert on an incline. At this mo-
ment. Bob Benchley walked into the
room and spying his three crcnies

diately suspected Q practical joke
aimed at himself. 50 without q
moments hesitation, Bob Jumped
up on . table, sat there with legs
inter-twined and arms EMBODIED.
