The other day the most awful

Aunt Elizabeth was coining to din

over just about enough to cream
for Jim and me. And then suddenly
I remembered. For a minute I was

used to the best of everything-. But
fle minutes later I was as happy
as a lark, concocting the most ex

ever saiv, I cut some mushrooms
and red peppers and, slices of hard

doesn't approve of liquor). I put
