Fit any he shoved his hair uni-cu h forehead, in , familiar gesture, which I had grown to recognize as n sigh of unrest: "I'm hungry," he said.

I was preparing food for Curtis: - food that would make him happy and soothe his tired nerves - he was dependent upon me " that moment and needed me more than Letitia Ev- ans with all her silly chatter about “uninteresting food," I wondeted, why they had chm- ed cars. Why hndn't they returned in Bill Gillespie’l car " they had started out? " And why, if Curtis: had been no nvenously hungry, hnd he not insisted on coming home before three o'clock? “Gosh!
