((ST MAWR))
LOU WITT HAD HAD HER OWN WAY SO LONG, THAT BY THE AGE OF
TWENTY-FIVE SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS. HAVING ONE'S OWN
WAY LANDED ONE COMPLETELY AT SEA.
  TO BE SURE FOR A WHILE SHE HAD FAILED IN HER GRAND LOVE AFFAIR
WITH RICO. AND THEN SHE HAD HAD SOMETHING REALLY TO DESPAIR
ABOUT. BUT EVEN THAT HAD WORKED OUT AS SHE WANTED. RICO HAD
COME BACK TO HER, AND WAS DUTIFULLY MARRIED TO HER. AND NOW,
WHEN SHE WAS TWENTY-FIVE AND HE WAS THREE MONTHS OLDER, THEY
WERE A CHARMING MARRIED COUPLE. HE FLIRTED WITH OTHER WOMEN
STILL, TO BE SURE. HE WOULDN'T BE THE HANDSOME RICO IF HE DIDN'T.
BUT SHE HAD 'GOT' HIM. OH YES! YOU HAD ONLY TO SEE THE UNEASY
BACKWARD GLANCE AT HER, FROM HIS BIG BLUE EYES: JUST LIKE A HORSE
THAT IS EDGING AWAY FROM ITS MASTER: TO KNOW HOW COMPLETELY HE
WAS MASTERED.
  SHE, WITH HER ODD LITTLE MUSEAU, NOT EXACTLY PRETTY, BUT VERY
ATTRACTIVE; AND HER QUAINT AIR OF PLAYING AT BEING WELL-BRED, IN
A SORT OF CHARADE . . .
