she is the only woman I have
ever seen whom I wanted to
marry. But I have been going

young and pretty. and am re-
iuctant to give her up as she
arouses my protective instincts
She is small and helpless. ! must

mint, kad tuo reikalu reiktQ
gal kreiptis net Vatikana. Re-

dyta, kad vargu ar yra prasmes
taip toll siekti, ir buvo nuro-
dytos priezastys, kodel sunku
tiketis is to praktiskos naudos.
Del to atsiliepe Draugas ir
Darbininkas. Bet abu ne apie
pagrindini klausima, o tik
del -. Vatikano, kuris, ju nuo-

kydamas, girdi, Dirva kartoja

niekas nesako, kad Vatikanas

kaip tik skaitytis SUI faktine

Bet, pazymint sia aplinkybe.
tenka padaryti ir isvada, kad
nera ko is Vatikano nei reika-
lauti tokiu dalyku, kuriq jis
negali, nera ko nei vargintis
atsikreipimais, kuriu jis vistiek
patenkinti negales ir, zinoda-

Nebuvo niekad Dirvoje para
