Christine added, "so I'll see to It,
and I'll handle the bookkeeping

The powwow was extremely
serious nobody on earth can
be more serious, when the mood
strikes them, than ordinarily gay
and ebullient college youths. And
these four were still collegians at
heart. They hadn't been out of
school a mouth.
"You nre not (no disappointed.
Mr. Lnrraway?" Koselee inquired,
after the conference had ended.
"At one breaking up your sum

"I am delighted! I hnd no defi

"Ihi yoti want any references?
Or anything? I I never had any

Franklin predicted gravely. "I

"Miss Fainter, here. Purely

"There's not any 'where' around

run of !M miles to Boulder dam,
if that helps!"
"Besides that, you haven't ask

Franklin sighed heavily, sllll
