The party was a nice enough affair, though the music was too loud for Kathy's taste. Josh and Thomas were there, of course, vying for her attention. They were both madly in love with her; a nuisance since at that time in her young life she was in love with no one. Accept maybe for herself.
Her father sent the town car around to pick her up; and of course Josh and Thomas followed closely in their own powerful new automobiles--right up to her front doorstep! There her father waited, and sent the young men away with a brutish scowl and impatient wave of his had, which plainly said, "Be GONE!"
She reluctantly gave them a wave and a fleeting, insincere smile.
The two young men left; but down the road a mile or so they stopped their cars and decided to have it out. Josh lashed out and struck the first blow, and the fight was on.
Several hours later the news was out. The two young men were dead--found beside their expensive new automobiles with their hands locked about one another's throats. Each had managed somehow to choke the other to death.
When Kathy heard this, she was at first aghast. How could such a thing happen? But she did not let this upset her for long. After all, there were plenty more young men who would be willing to vow their undying love for her, when she felt the time was right to have a love affair.
