magic of Joanne's serene words

that in some cases, at least, failure
could be far less cruel than the
gift of success. :.

rect to Kirk at the bank, l found
myself instead driving straight to
the ferry. Next Sunday, l rea-
soned, would be a better time to
approach Kirk. Such things should
not be undertaken hastily. Be-
sides, there was small voice that

But the voice must have been
stronger than l realized myself,
