17、ned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work. Peggy overtook a young runner.

18、 race unless you feeling good, and Peggy plainly was. Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didnt give up hope completely.

19、 almost determine who crossed it first. As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away-first five yards, then ten, then more.

Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerc
29、hief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of
