quite dark another had light hair that wasnt quite blond and the third had gray hair The first one had been my friend from the time we were children i and the friendship lasted absolutely until I un-til death did us part The second one was a woman much older than myself In whose society I found constant en joment and the thlr1 was my mother 6 There are hundred 01 names on my i visiting lIt
