It must be that he was getting tofeel too sure of
her.
I might turn over to Washington, but I dont
knowwhether well save any time by going over there.
All right, he said, looking at her weakly and
yieldingly.
Oh, thats all right, too, answered Clyde; but you
didnt likeme as well as you do him, either. Id like to knowwhat you meant by all
that you said, anyhow.
What about you and that Lucille Nickolas? What
