"He has preserved my sanity, and I owe him a debt of gratitude." To my dying day I'll never forget that little house, away out on the hillside, he took me to in his shabby little car.

"All the same, you can hardly expect me to give up to David the girl I love, and who loves me. But why does Mrs. Dallas support David's suit?" You can just take any recipe for a party and it will make a good début for a girl, but it takes more time to concoct one for a widow, especially if it is for yourself. I spent all the rest of the day doing almost nothing and thinking until I felt light-headed.
