She took a last look around the
lower hall. Then she went out and
closed the front door.
As she was passing through the
gate. she saw Bob's car racing down
the street. “Hello. Babs. Just came
to get you. Hop in.” Barbara smiled
at him and obeyed.

She flushed. When she spoke

"Nothing much." answered Bob.

.‘Does Reynolds have a good no

bar plate.
”leemeto." replied Bob. “Every-
body eeetns to be surprised to learn
there's something wrong with a ilrm
he's connected with. Only thing i've
heard against him is his choice or a

Blrbara laid down her fork and

she said. "to Jump to conclusions like

Bob stared at her amazed. "Why.

Bob was smiling again. "Never

avoid it.
"This time. though. i was talking
