The Great Escape


So Olman wants to save Ruth’s life. He figures cooking for 5 boarders and the six of us, maintaining a 27-room mansion with a bunch of runaways under foot isn’t helping much. Plus, they cut him loose from his government job for drinking. With a pretty good pension.
So he calls in some estate guy who buys all the antique mahogany furniture for a song and hauls it all out.
I’m glad to split. No real friends but Otis and He comes with. On my last day at Wellesley Junior High the football star says goodbye. It was the first time he ever spoke to me.
