Chapter V
_FOR_ a short time the sounds of cruel exultation came over from Flanagan's; then all was still. “Sal's put her mark on you,” said Norah, looking steadily into Pinky's face, and laughing in a cold, half-amused way. Pinky raised her hand to her swollen cheek. “Does it look very bad?” she asked. “Spoils your beauty some.”
