“Necking?”

“Yes.”

“Then what?”

“At that time they were having quite a bit of trouble with a love bandit, a chap who lay in wait in the places where the necking parties went on. I suppose you know the procedure.”

“Holdup?”

“He’d take money from the men, and then — well, then he’d borrow the woman for a while.”

“Go on.”

“We were held up.”

“What happened?”

“This man made a pass at me and my escort wouldn’t stand for it. The bandit shot him — and got away.”
