I"m the fellow you slept on last night.She asked:"Well, for the love of mud! Where am I sleeping, on a race track?"She explained who she was - a fallen woman: "I"m Pollyanna, the glad girl" - she was forced to remain until the next steamship ferry returned in four weeks.During small talk, Mark mentioned hat it wasn"t his first visit to London: "I was here a year ago for vacation," and that he was a writer for television ("for my sins"), not for radio.[Collapse Section]
