Evil Friendship (1958)
“Mrs. Kent is too up in the clouds over Roddy Sawyer to care, and Dr. Kent doesn’t even know his shoes are tied. At school it is difficult, but we both agree we like putting it over on everybody! Raynor and Gretchen are trying to have children, but L.L. tells Rob to wait. Glorious, glorious is our pretend, and our new Palace of Torture!

Martha, her hair loosened and at her shoulders, watched the night from her bedroom window. She hugged the white sheet she had wrapped around her body, and in the window’s reflection, the candle behind her on the night table flicked its tongue of light, danced and wavered.
Mary Drew stood by the bed, pulling the covers back to expose the mattress. She was dressed in Tony’s red wool jacket that came just above the knees of the black woo...l slacks she wore.MoreLess
