Chapter XIV
COMPLICATIONS But Petty had _not_ taken the note from Beverly's history. It had been removed by quite a different person. In fact about the last one either Beverly or Petty would have dreamed of. But of this a little later. By the time the fudge had been cleaned off from everything within a radius of five feet, for a more complete splash had never been made by any descending mass, the "lights out" bells were ringing in all the corridors.
