She flew along the grass-bordered walk, whipped open the front door, and disappeared within. She turned the key in the lock, and stood trembling in the darkness.
"You had one chance at him, didn't you?" "José spoiled it. Honest, I wasn't going to lie down, 'Lissie." Again the days followed each other uneventfully.
