Principal Characters
GEORGE JACKSON
Since splitting up with his wife, he had seen her occasionally but then he met Lee—and no other woman would do!
HENRY CONLEY
He came to George with $7,000. When he died George didn't know what to do with the money—or Henry's wife either!
LEE CONLEY
Tall, voluptuous. Next to her Lady Godiva looked like the winner of a baby contest. But no man could unlock the secret she kept from the world!
FRANCIS F. HENDERSON
George's retired neighbor. He played poker to win money and loved to look into his neighbor's windows. He gave his age as reason enough for both forms of indulgence.
JOE COLLINS
Worked for same company as George. A middle-aged Romeo, he got quite a shock when his son came home from overseas and acted just like him!
WALT COLLINS
Joe's son. His father had planned for him to
go
to college when he was discharged but the Army had taught Walt a lot, and he was changed now, changed into a wise guy—with angles!
FLO JACKSON
George's estranged wife. She saw him every now and then and they tried to start over, but when Lee came into the picture, her chances sank to a new low!
