He's satisfied that the past week's intensive workouts have put the eight in the best trim possible. What are its chances of winning? Love is deceptively non-committal.

When she shimmers into focus in a screen-size closeup with a tremulous smile on her lips, sympathetic vibrations start humming around the movie house. They keep on humming as the girl with the almond-shaped eyes and trim little figure speaks the precise and attractively British English that she learned at an Irish convent in Rangoon.
