me warmly, before he even
looked past me.

queried, as always, but / do not

SPENCER INTERRUPTS
"It's n long story" Georges
said, with a wary eye on my

of perception, clapped him on
the shoulder.

"You should have seen me n

Georges Ii In grave peril"
my father went on. "Only O.

IL others now searching for him
should find out the truth, his life
would not be worth a farthing IL
