the ita shabby West Sixtles was in no way different from a dozen other houses in the block, except that about it seemed to hover the ghost of its sloop gentility. Its high pust reared itself in outmoded pride, in spite of the fact that beside the entrance door a faded sign nounced to anyone who, in the rushing, noisy trafic of the New York of 1939, cared to read: "Board and Lodging--Transient and Permanent."
Beyond the door was a world where time stood still-u refuge those who lagged behind in for the march of the years and now found solace in turkey red carpets, high ceilings, tunnel-like drawing rooms and pristned chandeliers.

Taxes might be overdue and bills unpaid but Norah never tired of telling Maggie that the world and the people in it were incurably good and that all the two of them had dreamed for their children would one day come true.
She insisted that her boy Tommy, whom she had not seen for Ave years, would marry Maggie's Saroli Jane yet, and be rich as all get out. And why nut, for hadn't they been raised like twins, Maggie's Sarah June-they called her Sal at the night clubs where she sang her torch songs-was a honest provocative girl who was the Joy, and the despair, of her mother.
The permanent boarders, enjoying quiet game-of-rumingono even ing. under Miss Minnie's imposingt portrait-were thrown into confusion by the sudden pummeling of the front door and foud erles of "Let me in!"
