Turning, I found the singer to be L Violet O’Connell, who, in her palatial air-car was waiting for me. I Q suppose her name is familiar to every one as the accompanist of the C DuFrain Concert company, with which she has been traveling since finishing her studies at college. As I was putting on my hat, she continued, “Do you know I’ve been thinking of our old classmates, and I have finally decided that we should go and discover their whereabouts.
