"On the whole, he thought it felt awful. But there wasn't much he could do about it. All he could do was try to stay right away from Hackett and Hook's and hope time and a few good meals "would put him right again. Provisionally, he took an aspirin when he got back to the office, but that did no good.

You and I might think he'd got pretty poor value. for his five- and-six, but not Norman. She'd smiled at him when she gave him the speedboat "ahd he'd heard another girl call her Va- nessa, so at least he knew her name, "Shy boy, my great-nephew Norman," mused Mr. Rocket, "Now some young fellows," he resumed, "having made two contacts and feeling like Nor- man did, would have started working round at this stage to something a bit more exciting. They might have dropped a word or two to suggest that an- other world existed outside the shop. "But not Norman, As far as he was concerned she might have spent all her life there and slept under the counter. He went again the next day and bought a teddy-bear. The day after he bought a talking doll and the next day he was in such a state he found himself off home with a toy fort full of soldiers. Of course, by now, he was getting into more trouble. He'd got to smuggle all this lot into his home and hide them away where his mum wouldn't see them, "You'd think this might have encouraged him to bring things to a head. But not Norman, He just bought smaller stuff he could hide easier, and every blessed day for a.whole month, Sundays excepted, he took an- other toy on the strength. He'd probably still have been doing it if one horrible morning he hadn't got there and found Va- nessa missing. Another girl was in her place. "Of course, Normah was a lot too shy to ask what had hap- pened to her. He just went off in a dream and tramped round the store for half an hour just - wondering, and 'when he came to he was up on the third floor. He was just making his second circuit of the wool and embroi- dery department when he felt somebody watching him. "He looked up. It was Va- nessa, ; "She was stuck behind a pile of pink wool and looking at-him as suspiciously as if she thought . he was going to blow the whole building sky-high. Like a hom- ing-pigeon. that had been held up by fog, Norman made straight for her counter," + "Ves, sir?' she said. + "Of course, he should have made his big speech now. He ~ It was none of her could have taken the chance to describe his feelings (a) on find« ing her missing from the toy department and (b) on coming _across her again up here. It was the chance: of a lifetime. But what did Norman do? I'll tell "you what he. did, He just said: "I'wo pounds of this pink wool, "Her eyebrows went: : ) but ess to argue, She just wrapped up thirty-two ounce - balls and handed him the parcel. -*Two pound eight, please! she said, and then her curiosity got the better of her, 'Excuse me, she 'said, 'but why ever do you want all that wool?' "It was the. first personal re. 'mark she'd ever made to. him, And it was too much for Nor- . man's nerves. Hé just' grabbed his parcel and ran. Right through 'the wool: and embroi- dery, the baby wear and the children's shoes." And at the top of the stairs: he felt a hand on * his arm, A very firm hand, "A woman- was holding him, -*I'm- a store detective,' she said. 'Would you mind coming back with me to the 'wool department and explain why you went oft without paying?' "He could 'only go. He couldn't have looked more guilty it he'd murdered six old women and hidden their bodiés in the cel- lar, fearing the awful moment when he'd have to confess: that it was his passion for Vanessa that had led him to'crime. "And_ then he was back at the wool stall and Vanessa" was looking at him as if he was a . caterpillar_in her cabbage. '1 thought all the time,' she said grimly, 'he looked like a sneak- thief. ge "Suddenly Norman she had slaughtered his passion _ for her. Instead, he just said he'd frogotten to pay and here was the cash. "The detective looked at him very hard for a moment and then she said she'd take his word for it. So Norman, slunk away and he's never set eyes on Vanessa again." Mr, Rocket paused for effect and finished his port. "But you said," the barmaid recalled, "he'd just married her." "Ah, no," said Mr. Rocket, "It was the detective Norman fel for when she believed him, an that was the one he married. There is one good thing," he concluded.

Weed Control Pre - emergent weed control may be divided into two parts -- cultural and chemical Cultural control, which is an older method, consists of the use of the harrow, rotary hoe and finger weeder in the destruction of germinating weed seedlings prior to, and just after, emergence: of a crop such as corn or soybeans Only the top one or two inches of soil should be worked so that no more weed seeds will be brought up to the surface where they will ger- minate.
