While she was still speaking Gib- son had swung the car around. The raid drops were coming faster now.

He seemed to be an expert driver. Gypsy watched the ease with which he handled the car. Surely it was new one. The brown paint glis- tened and the upholstery looked so fresh.

"It's a new car, isn't it?" she naked.

Gypay's smile was a bit nervous. "I'd better not," she said, "unless you want your lovely coupe to be a complete wreck!"

"Well, I'd take my chances. By the way, how in Jim theee days? Haven't seen him."

"What---what happened?" she asked In a small voice.

“Another car crushed into rours. How do you feel now 7"

"My foot hurts," Gypsy told him. The left one." She tried to draw herself up to a sitting position but the movement brought a quick ex- clamation of pain.

She wished he wouldn't look at her that way: She wished wouldn't say such things. It was more Gibson's tone than the words to which she objected.

"I'll say I don't! Not you."
