"I can't elope", said Cassandra moodily. "The rabbi told me not to be a rotter speeding off

like this in the car I bought".

"It looks bad Gerry and impractical for me to go at this time".

Amazingly he staggered to his feet.

"Do explain, as it seems to me you are now anti-Gerry" he scowled.

"Now you are being irrational and going overboard" said Cassandra, who grinned

malevolently.

"I felt boxed-in and needed to escape and take a trip I guess".

"It never occurred to me that it would not be a very good idea, whereupon you were

shrewder and knew all the time that it was useless to attempt it", was her glib explanation.
