In order to support a little of my weight, I pulled my arm up from where it was trapped between me and some solid heat and tilted my head back to look right into the beautiful black eyes of Johnny Gamble. Beyond that were very, very faded men’s jeans with a man’s lower body inside them, one of his legs cocked, knee to the sky, the other one of his legs straight, my legs wrapped around it. And beyond it at a downward angle there was a flat area covered in T-shirt with my arm wrapped around it. That T-shirt was what my head was lying on top of too. Therefore I opened my eyes and I saw Brooks’s body lying atop a yellow-gold T-shirt. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Meecham (Section 3)įerdinand Heinze (1848–1907) ✧ Character name: Mr. Maud Hart Lovelace, who grew up in a small Minnesota community, but spent most of her adulthood in cosmopolitan New York, was six weeks short of reaching her 88 th birthday at the time of her death in 1980.

It was a great adventure with elements of science fiction and mystery thrown in as well.
