She sat down at the little desk in her room. You could tell quite a lot about Irene from that desk. The water-glass filled with the small bouquet of flowAs she sometimes bought on the way j home.

On the blotter pad lay the telegram that had come that morning just as she was leavirifc for work. With those long, well-shaped fingers she reached for a sheet of paper. She nibbled the end of her pen for a bit, and then she wrinkled up her nose at the picture of the soldier and began to write, , "Dear Mr. Morgenthau", but the corporal's name was Jackson and f r*ollr*rl kiivi Dnl/v U/\v?
