she had brought to him,
but his religious faith, since
she had gone, burned low
and flickered like the can
die he was holding.
Suddenly there was a
sharp rap on the door, and
he could hear the muffled
sound of a voice.
"Open UP, open up!"
A moment later Jack
Russell was in the room.
"Jeff!"

Yes, he could go to Pete's

university crowd. They al

like Jack Russell along, for

artist, for laughs.
But he had not come back
