There seemed no answer to that.
For a moment Spenser stood dumb

SpenSer glanced about the room,

something about the British boys

feet. He started to ask: Just what
do you think ?"
Right then Spenser hit him on
the nose. He had to sta;iS on tip

because Of Romney's superior
height, but he hit him Just the
same. II was such a swift jab that
the actor did not even see It COM
