ventures out are to help Sarah
carry home the groceries from
the supermarket, or to attend

All the spirit seems gone
out of him. When you talk
to him, he nods or shrugs,
doesn't answer. He was a
bright boy, but after three
or four disappointments, one
on tdp of the other, he . seems
to have given up.
He need's help.. I'm sure . a
psychiatrist can set him
traight. What ii Sarah, wait

Sarah tU-I admit I'rri wor

he's capable of getting si 'grip!
