Again he works things to a high state of affairs only to be interrupted by Gil (Clyde' Smith), the brother of the girl. This loud talking brings every person in the house to the living room. Lem still contends in his own mind that he will not be defeated, so in front of the whole group he tells Anna Lee what he wishes. Pritchard-Fatterson, Inc.
