Dinner at the guest bouse waa set for :0 and after dinner Andrea An-drea had to study her dramatic and her languages. Still in ths manner aha had been treated as a youngster a Emery park, her light waa required to be turned out at-10. Karie aaw to that. It waa one of the dutlea delegated delegat-ed to Marie by Mra.
