MARGERY

Then she threw her clothes into an English pigskin suit-case of Frank's that he'd just got back from the hockshop and ran down the stairs three at a time. Tony was waiting for her on the stoop, pale and trembling with his guitar--186-case and his suitcase beside him.

"I do not care for the money. Let's take a taxi," he said.

In the taxi she grabbed his hand, it was icy cold. At City Hal he was so fussed he forgot al his English and she had to do everything. They borrowed a ring from the justice of the peace. It was over in a minute, and they were back in the taxi again going uptown to a hotel. Margie never could remember afterwards what hotel it was, only that they'd looked so fussed that the clerk wouldn't believe they were married until she showed him the marriageli-cense, a big sheet of paper al bordered with forgetmenots.

It seemed the only happy day she'd ever had in her life. When they took the boat the next day, Tony only had enough money to buy secondclass passages.
