It would never do to inform the world that he had been afraid of a mere turkey.，A minute or two later Paul came out, shutting the door after him.，Jen drew back and stared at the young man in angry surprise.，"I know it. But my story--the true story, mind you--differs even from David's. Will you hear it, major, or shall I leave your house before I suffer the disgrace of being kicked out?""Don't talk like this. You are at my table. There is a stranger" (here he bowed ceremoniously to Etwald) "or shall I say a friend, present!"
