tight burnished cap her face was dead white she seemed cold although the room was stifling with the heat that floods from a radiator turned on all day i had a foolish longing to ask if i could helpiher in any way why i dont know curiosity had nothing to do with the impulse perhaps it was because i had put myself in her place coming home from the emoti onal strain of court and finding not a soul to talk to no safety valve perhaps this was the reason why i felt u rush of sympathy why as our eyes met i said canfl help you no paula answered misunder standing my offer to help her ill have
