CHAPTER ELEVEN A SQUARE YELLOW ticket bore the word “Discharged. It was Mary Carroll's permit to leave the hospital. “A lot of good it will do me,” she mused bitterly. “I've no place to go. And no money.” ; Two [pound notes and single sixpence in Anna Winters’ pocketbook was her entire capital. “About $10 in American money,” she thought, : She had resolved to begin iife anew. under the severe handicap of an altered appearance and a muffled, halting speech.” And how she would begin her strange new existence as Anna Winters, a former English governess, she had not the - slightest, idea in the world. “Youre looking better already,” the busy floor nurse said briskly. ~ “Just the thought of being released seems to have helped you.” WHEE E “A “Thanks,” Mary murmured, but : , EHIND.” | AN'ATTACHIN’ \ TRAILER?” there was no bravado in her spirit. i ; k ) { 'T TOAAUTY? - .
