"But always there was the growing pain. Dr. Country had found cancer in the leg hone and another spot in the ribs. Max showed great patience. I left the middle of August after having found a full time practical nurse. She did not work out but was replaced by Mary Brennan who was excellent and was with him until the end. Mary said that though in pain he was always grateful and appreciative of the smallest kindness.
Instead of writing, I called every third day, the last time being the morning of September 23rd. Mary was off for the day, returning for dinner, but the Dashiell's came at noon with the mail to check on him and visit. Having prepared for bed with his usual routine Mary heard him up a little before 11 P.M. She called in to ask if he was all right. He answered, "Fine, Just Fine." Then she heard the shot. A shot gun fired into the mouth. Oddly enough there was no mark, no bruise. no visible sign. Isn't this strange?"
Oh course, KC reads this and determines that there WAS a great mess!
Oh well, after thirty lears, I thought it was Dolly who found him.
KC says that I am a fraud, and that I made up the idea that Max left without a mess. Boy, I huess I sure was wrong about that! See?: "Oddly enough there was no mark, no bruise. no visible sign. Isn't this strange?" " Dolly Ware Lani PS: Youse pays your money and youse takes your chances.
