Excerpt from 32 CaliberI was gaily humming to myself as I put on my clothes when James Felderson came in. His face was drawn and his mouth was set in a way that was utterly foreign to Jim, whose smile has done more to keep peace in committee meetings and to placate irate members than all other harmonizing agencies in the club put together. There was some thing unnatural, too, about his eyes, as though he had been drinking.About the PublisherFo...
