And the young girl watching, listening, waiting, felt her spirit expand to a demand greater than she could answer. Amos was keenly interested in Levine's campaign. His attitude toward politics was curiously detached, when one considered that he was saturated with information both as to state and national politics.
Kitts that night. Hamilton lifted his hat, and Rachael followed her mother. She was cold and frightened, and Levine's white malignant face circled about her.
