"Silly man!" Marjorie exclaimed.  "All you had to do was come by
and ask if there was mail for you.  I'd've talked to you.  And
if you ever need someone to go out with out you and take you
somewhere all you have to do is ask."  Marjorie nodded to Braham.
"I know this area like the back of my hand, I do.  And I can show
you the safe ways around, too!"

At that point Hodges left the room quickly.  Marjorie looked
up at that with a bit of surprise.  "I hope nothin's wrong,"
she said with a bit of concern.
