He continued, "while we are at it, we should probably hear from Jimbo."
Apparently, thought Jane, if he hears anything contradictory

come back and explain it away.
Chapter 20
The next witness was Roz Peel.
Throughout the ordeal of the hearing, Roz had been the
sparkplug of the outfit. Her high spirits and unquenchable
optimism lifted the whole group of witnesses.
Here was a young woman who had known severe adversity in
her life which she had battled and continued to battle.
Few knew the particulars because she was a very private person.
She didn't feel that anything was accomplished by bleeding all over
other people about her own troubles. It was much better for her
and others to be positive and upbeat.
When she identified herself and was sworn, she told the
panel that she was a full-time student in the College of
Agriculture and worked part-time at the Belmont print shop.
A petite woman in her late twenties, she sat back in her chair,
larger than life and twinkled merrily at the panel. Her good humor
was so contagious that the panel, as one, smiled back at her.
