You can move in immediately he assured them He sent for a houseboy a young Ute Indian and this wide Joey de- de eyes looked at Kathleen and swore silent allegiance to her wide Joey-wide-eyes whose name was promptly abbreviated to Joey by bythe bythe bythe the girls took them first to the hotel to pick up their car car- carand and baggage baggage baggage bag bag- gage while he drove on to open the house Approaching her grandfathers grandfather's home Kathleen felt a strange in in- in terest When there had been a discussion discussion dis dis- dis- dis of family background it had always heretofore revolved around her mothers mother's family Without analyzing analyzing analyzing an an- the clans clan's motive she had accepted a heritage of knights and ladies laMes baronial castles and estates From what she had heard Old Angus Gregory was far from gen gen- teel ted She felt sudden kinship There were times when she longed to be definitely barbarous Spartan Simplicity The front door of heavy oak swung open and the girls stepped immediately into the living room Kathleen looked around then looked at Bridget This remarked her friend is what is known as Spartan sim sim- I like ilke it declared Kathleen bel bel- bel Um Urn agreed Bridget Personally Personally Personally Person ally I could do with some cush cush- ions They followed Joey to the second floor where three bedrooms boasted of furniture as Gargantuan in size as they were unyielding in surface Bridget chose the smallest of the three because the north windows gave view to a shaped cone-shaped peak and ind because the fireplace is within within with with- in heating distance of the bed Kathleen hurried to the master room It opened south and west vest with a view that would be bo awe- awe inspiring once the windows were cleared of their layers of dirt Ill take this she stated No Miss protested Joey Old Angus depart from this bed His woman depart from here too I still like it she said But Miss Cleo wailed

the Latin race And she reminded her of someone especially especial especial- ly the eyes with their passionate defiance Just as the living room had shown The Golden Girl in its various stages of development the pictures in the master bedroom revealed photographs photographs photographs photo photo- graphs of her father and of herself herself herself her her- self from babyhood to the day of
