Suddenly something she had heard
her grandmother say long ago
flashed into her mind. . . . "You

can't lock up from a liar!"
On one end of the long table in
the dining room was a huge punch

had had too much to drink. Much

Gloria ‘started up the stairs. She
wanted just one thing in the world
. . . to lie down on her own bed
and go to sleep!

of rubber. She couldn't stand on
