This girl is not fat, but perhaps ten pounds away from her ideal weight. Tomorrow she will feel terribly guilty, and skip breakfast and maybe lunch. She is not the least bit unique: almost every Cliffie recognizes the phrase "compulsive cater" with a shiver of aorror and embarrassment...
...merchants of Central Square cater to the fundamental needs of life. Their stores, almost uniformly undistinguished, peddle the usual brands of food, clothing, furniture, and not a great deal else.

But while stamp collectors have earned a reputation as quiet and retiring types, they have sometimes proved to be less than perfect models for the kiddies.
