FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1 942 MRS. MURDOCK pxarra TAKES A CASE YESTERDAY. Perry Clarke came up to three friends having @ cocktail on the way to the theater. Joyce Murdock dtsliked hem at sight, and was curious, because Clarke had been mar- ried for a while to her husband’s first wife Hester.

It’s hard to explain. but—” “I understand.” Delia interrupt- ed. “I just thought that our love was the important thing — our happiness.” “Our love is the important thing.” He cleared his throat and she could hear him draw a breath. “Happiness is something else. When I start out with you I’ve got to be sure that everything on pe renly side is wiped out.” “Something happened in South Amprice I had a little trouble—” 'd me.” Delia said. “And I Ref vou I didn’t care,” She waited. The fear was still with her, gathering into a tight little knot inside.

This woman Perry Clarke had mentioned— Hestor Losado Suppose that she— She shook the thought aside. “So it's just ou’ pride that’s most important after all,” she said finally her voice cool and even “Now we're quarreling,” Ward said.
