I never knew how I got back to the dorm, and the next day, when I woke, the stubs of my checkbook showed I had signed practically all of my two thousand away." There was a brief silence. Out in the main room the orchestra began to play. Miss Atkins was looking at Jimmie, and her scarlet lips were closed like a straight cord.
"But I do not understand this. What does this paper do and what did you pay for it?" "The paper," Sam answered, "puts her in a hole and I paid ten thousand dollars for it." Sue Rainey laughed and taking a checkbook from her handbag laid it on the desk and sat down. "Do you get your half?" she asked.
